He is over a FOOT TALLER than Shaq. He has more than 100 pounds on him. And he's coordinated and can shoot reasonably well. How does Shaq defend this guy one-on-one?

Easy, Shaq beats him to his spot and keeps him from posting too close down low. Shaq's vertical helps him to defend the guys shots. As far as rebounding goes Shaq has no problem boxing this guy out, but if 8 fter gets position Shaq is screwed. On O Shaq will beat him down the court every time forcing his smaller teamates to guard him, or Shaq can take him outside and just dribble around him forcing him to try to move laterally and pick up fouls.

But our guy retains the shot of a slightly above average six footer. If he can hit a 12 foot jumper, isn't he going to be pretty much unstoppable?
