bball?

[Ryan W]

I hope you get back to us on what those stats are
supposed to measure.  That said, stats or no stats,
and limited sample size to boot, I think he finishes
very well around the basket, even if he might get a
couple shots blocked by the likes of Sean Williams. 
He uses both hands adroitly, knows how to use his
body, the rim, and the net to ward off defenders, and
is usually under control (as opposed to say Antoine
who wouldn't even look at the rim sometimes).  We
really need his offensive rebounding and low post
scoring on some nights and Doc, I think, will come to
that same conclusion.  The question is when.
