Thanks Mike.  I don't think that Miller has the stamina to play the pressure
defense that RP uses.  His girth causes him to commit alot of fouls and I
don't see that improving in a high octane defense.  I like McDyess for his
defensive intensity.

mpg  - fga - fgm - fg% - fta   - ftm -  ft%  - reb -stl -  bl   -  ppg
19.1  -324 -164 -.506 - 159 - 96  -.604 - 4.9 - 81 - 48  -  5.6
23.6  -700 -355 -.507 - 232 -166 -.716 - 6.7 - 68 - 87  -11.4
26.2  -364 -168 -.462 - 101 -  61 -.604 - 6.4 - 58 - 69   - 6.5
29.7  -568 -290 -.511 - 271 -188 -.694 - 6.6 - 43 -246 -  9.8
29.9  -859 -458 -.533 - 308 -218 -.708 - 7.7 - 94 -127 -14.9

Top to bottom, the players are:DeClercq, Geiger, Miller, Ratliff, McDyess.
MIller's fg% is lower than Barros.  Not good for a big fella.  Ratliff's
shotblocking is tremendous.  Other than that, give me McDyess, and it has
nothing to do with his big game against the Fakers last night.  He's
*active*, has better rebounding and steal numbers as well as fg%.  Imagine
him stealing passes in this defense.
