Steve,

You cannot make a valid comparison between McDyess and Perv because Perv has
never been healthy enough to warrant such a comparison.

For someone who gets his points from putbacks, it's still a healthy 15 point
average.  When did Pervis average 15 ppg?  McDyess has been to the line 308
times this year.  Tells me that he goes to the hoop and his .533 fg%
wouldn't look to bad in our lineup. BTW, he only averages 2.6 offensive
rebounds per game.  So much for the putbacks.
