Samuel Dalembert Introductory press conference (live now)

i like how he says he just wants to fit in... he keeps saying he wants to play defense. weird hearing a kings center say that.
 
Some of most interesting tid bits I heard during intro to press:

1.) Petrie said acquiring Dalembert would not change Kings draft strategy because (and here's interesting/maybe coded response), "we like 6-7 players at the top and would be comfortable with any of them."

2.) Samuel, who played soccer in Haiti says Pele has always been his favorite player and main reason he selected #10 as his new jersey number.

3.) Samuel's team in the World Cup is Brazil as most in Haiti are big fans of that team.
 
I hope he is fine with 25-30 minutes, since I don't think they can play both Cousins and him at the same time.
 
The good things..

A) he seems geniunely enthused to be here and work with all the new guys (which is opposite of how he was viewed in Philly... this might change though)

B) He realizes his main strength are defense and seems to be ok with any role he is told to play while he is on the court.. he did say if the coaches want me to work more on my offensive game he would

C) he realizes he won't be a main offensive option and is mainly there to clean things up around the basket (finish put backs or just the O rebound for extra possessions)
