More on PF Possibilities

[peter delevett <pdelevett@amcity.com>]

Just because it's Friday and I am totally screwing around, I crunched those
rebounding numbers I sent around yesterday and broke them out on a per-minute
basis, then ranked the players that way. (I feel like Warwick.) I guess one
could argue that there's not a huge difference between .2 and .3 boards per
minute, but over 48 minutes that translates to nearly 5 boards a game. (And
yes, as Alex pointed out, I am only looking at last season, not a combination
of the past 2-3 seasons or anything.) 

Note that Rogers comes in dead last here (tied with Bryant, who is big enough
to fill in at center if need be, though a bit long in the tooth). Note too
that Aaron Williams, #2, will come a LOT cheaper than almost anyone on this list!


NAME			HT/WT		BORN	MPG		PPG		RPG 	
Lo Wright		6'11, 240	1975	23		6.6		7.5 (.32/min)	(15.3/48 mins) 	
Aaron Williams	6'9, 225	1971	11		4		3.2	(.29/min)	(13.9/48 mins)	
Samaki Walker	6'9, 258	1976	14		6		3.7	(.26/min)	(12.4/48 mins)
Pig Miller		6'9, 255	1971	8.6		2.4		2.3	(.26/min)	(ditto)
L. Funderburke	6'9, 230	1970	20		9		4.7	(.23/min)	(11.0/48 mins)
Tom Hammonds	6'9, 225	1967	14		4.3		2.8	(.20/min)	(9.6/48 mins)
Mark Bryant		6'9, 250	1965	26		9		5	(.19/min)	(9.1/48 mins)
Rodney Rogers	6'7, 255	1971	20		7.4		3.8	(.19/min)	(ditto)


By the way, Alex, Roger's career rebounding average is 4.4 rpg, which
translates to just 7.9 rebs per 48 minutes! The only 2 seasons he broke 5 rpg,
he was playing in excess of 30 mpg, which won't happen with the Celtics. (His
career scoring average is 11.5/g.)
