Sheed didn't and doesn't have to shoot for Detroit to win.
Frye's competition in the paint over the next 10 doesn't include Reasheed. Guys like Jefferson Bosh Krstic and Dalembert are. Those 4 who are all basically the same age as Frye bang in the paint. Frye doesn't. Last I checked, rodman does not play 3 nor does Ben Wallace play 4. Frye has AD now but his long-term sidekick is Eddy "Stay Puff" Curry. Frye's going to have to start banging.

Yeah, yeah, great point, man. OH, wait, oops, too bad Dalembert tried guarding Frye and was ineffecitve and almost fouled out. OH wait, Sheed fouled out, too. Oh, hey, this is really strange, Tyson Chandler scored 0pts and fouled out against Frye too. Oh, WEIRD, Kendrick Perkins fouled out and Al Jefferson and Raef Lafrenz didn't do jack against Frye.
Dalembert does not bang in the paint. When Frye needed to take it inside against Chicago and Philly he backed his man down and scored.
And despite his horrid defense, I can't seem to find any big man who played well against him. And he has the best plus/minus on the team, and one of the best in the league.
You want to see poor interior defense? Check out Curry and AD. They both suck.
I think there still might be a seat left in Watching Basketball 101. You should check it out.
