Double minutes, double stats

[Eggcentric at aol.com]

With Jeff's disappointing sophomore year and Allen's
little off-court "F him over" directive while crushing
some guy's eye socket ("I made a little mistake and used
bad judgment"), good guy Perkins seems to have risen 
to the top of our future stars list, even ahead of gasp, 
wheeze... the incomparable Delonte.

< We have the living, breathing example that you can work miracles
with touch in one offseason with Perk. Yes he still clangs a few
(I think part of the issue with him is getting used to controlling his
new, stronger body), but compare his shooting first two seasons
to last season and he clearly added major touch to his shot over
the summer. It's a jaw dropping difference. > -Kim

It appeared to me as well that Perk had really improved his
offense this past season.   Yet when comparing his 2004-05
production/stats to those of 2005-06, I must admit to not 
seeing the ”jaw dropping difference”

Aside from an increased FG% from 47.1 to 51.5 (although both 
were down from his rookie season of 53.3%), a quick peek at 
his progress reveals little more than double minutes for
basically double stats.
