You miss my point, Kim.  Of course Mihm will pick up fouls, and part of that will be related to his mobility and perceived lack of athleticism.  My point is that I want to see him pick up his 6 fouls challenging shots in the paint, not blitzing a 5'11" guard at the three point line.

Yeah, but David, you can always find excuses for individual fouls with any 
player. Ask Pierce about any one that's ever been called on him. Chris 
still tends to get called for a lot of fouls because of how he plays and 
how it looks and who he is, in that game and when he's gotten minutes 
before. It's going to have an effect on planning anything around using him 
a lot and needs to be factored into any thoughts of a bigger role, because 
those fouls don't just affect him and his minutes.

Yup, a very good point. Thanks for pointing it out.
