McDyess gives considerably more of a scoring threat, however, you're right.
Outlaw has been overlooked.

mpg- fgm -  fga - fg% - fta  - ftm - ft% - rpg - stl   - blk   - ppg
35.9- 525 - 290 -.552 -294-168-.571- 7.8 -106 - 169  - 9.5

Outlaw has 12 steals more than McDyess ( 106 - 94)
Outlaw has a better rebounding stat (7.8 - 7.7)
Outlaw has more blocks (169 - 127)
Outlaw has a better ft% (.552 - .533)
Outlaw averages 6 mpg more (35.9 - 29.9)

I'd say that if McDyess were given an additional 6 mpg the only advantage
for Outlaw would be in fg%.  But he should be considerably less expensive to
sign.
