He may have redirected a few shots here and there, but when your the biggest guy on the court, your impact should be more on the defensive end, or at the very least a balance
World Basketball is different then NBA BB
Stats don't translate like say a NBA game
First they only play 40 minutes as opposed to 48
Not huge in post game they do more set play ...... Lots of pick and roll
Also players only play 20 minutes or so so much less chances
Chandler led USA with 7 and avg 12 one year in NBA
Love had 6 ....... My point is we go by with what we see
WHich is an active 7'2 agile and active big man who is still ONLY 21 years old
I say if he plays 20 minutes for us and gets 18 and 5 we will ALL love him!!
