Wright vs. Samaki

[Alex Wang <awang@mit.edu>]

Why are people convinced that Lorenzen Wright is better than Samaki
Walker, other than Wright having the ability to play center? Here's
a comparison of their best years (in each case, their second):

L Wright: 30.0 mpg, 9.0 ppg (44.5% fg), 8.8 rpg, 1.26 bpg
S Walker: 25.0 mpg, 8.9 ppg (48.6% fg), 7.4 rpg, 0.98 bpg

They are almost identical, especially when you account for the
extra minutes that Wright played. Wright played in more games so
perhaps there is a durability issue with Samaki. But if I had a 
choice between Wright, or Samaki and a Dallas first rounder, 
I'd go for Samaki.
