From Basketball Prospctus:
http://www.basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=37 3. Renaldo Balkman, New York - 17.1. A year into Balkman's career, it looks like Isiah Thomas is going to have the last laugh on critics who derided him for taking the lightly-regarded South Carolina product in the first round. Balkman's college numbers showed his ability to make a major impact with defense and rebounding. That continued during Balkman's rookie season; he averaged 11.1 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.7 blocks per 40 minutes. The Knicks' Defensive Rating was 9.2 points lower per 100 possessions with Balkman on the floor. Quentin Richardson is entrenched as the starter in New York, but Thomas would do well to give most of Jared Jeffries' minutes to Balkman. |

Interesting that Balkman has the same rating as Tyrus Thomas.
