Maybe it is his length and athleticism making up for whatever we would term "quickness," but on the defensive end, his rotations are faster and crisper than any of the other forwards.  The play that I mentioned in the first post of this thread is a great example.
 
Up 53-49 with under 2 minutes to play, Calhoun ran a well designed play.  Lamb and Drummond were both on Joseph's side of the zone, Lamb on the wing and Drummond in the corner.  Olander was in the high post.  When the entry pass came to Olander, Joseph moved up on Lamb to cover the more obvious threat.  Fab came up to challenge Olander, and Drummond came along the baseline behind the defense.  Olander zipped a pass to him for a sure dunk, but James made a picture perfect rotation from the opposite side of the lane to seal the baseline.  Having already blocked Drummond once, the big guy looked a bit intimidated by James, passed it back to Olander who short armed his shot.
 
The final minute of the game would have played out much differently if James hadn't been quick to the baseline.
