Fortson Effect

[W <titans@ihug.com.au>]

Hey all,

Do any of the people who are calculating how much effect that Danny
Fortson had in Denver please tell me the following.

- Did Antonio McDyess' shooting percentages rise with the more time that
Fortson got (eg. were his percentages higher or lower than in the first
12 games compared to his season percentage? If so, was their a
significant rise or fall (eg. say .500 to .515 or .485?).

- Were the Nuggets shooting better or worse as a whole in the first half
of the season (when Fortson had a lack of playing time) or in the second
half (when Fortson got his playing time?).

The answer to those two questions will answer how much of a steal this
trade was for the Boston Celtics.
