i don't see Frye ever averaging double figures in rebounds or 2 blocks per game.

no, i didn't say he's peaked... i simply don't ever see him as being a great rebounding bigman... i projected his peak to be about 20 & 8 last season & i would still say that's about where i place him now, if he can manage to stay healthy over the longterm & get the minutes... & i would say 1.3 blocks per game is where i'd place him as well... he isn't a great instinctual shotblocker from what i can tell... he gets caught in the air on pump fakes far too often, or he'll just stand there w/his arms in the air on defense & not go for the fake at all, which won't earn you many shotblocks either... a guy like Camby is uncanny at timing his jumps & knowing when to jump to go for the block... i don't see these instincts in Frye at all.

The final stats don't mean anything. It's gonna be the production rates that are most important. The reason being that we have a fully stocked Frontcourt and that means the rebounding load will be shared. Tonight we didn't do a great job of keeping the Pistons off the boards, but we usually do much better.

The thing is that Isiah has been KILLED for his moves and it's gone unappreciated how good his moves have been in terms of our bigs. There are few groups that would be considered vastly better than what we have. Individuals, yes, but as a group ...
