Fair points, I think Artest has a versatility that Rodman never had. In my opinion, his offensive flexibility is under-appreciated and under-utilized. I don't know that Rodman knew what his role was as much as he had other guys (well, Jordan really) to keep him in line and tell Rodman what his role is. Artest I don't think has ever had that, until now.
