Proclaiming McDyess done is, quite simply, stupid.

Now, maybe there'd be some truth to it if he wasn't getting enough lift on a favorite power move. Or if benchwarmers were cleaning the boards with him. Or if he couldn't get off his shot. But the simple fact is, he's missing open jump shots. So unless there's a detached retina we don't know about, the shots he used to make are shots he'll make again. That's the basis of his post-injury game and he shouldn't have trouble mainintaining it any more than a Kurt Thomas or Alonzo Mourning does.

Having said that, I'd be giving more time to Darko or possibly Maxiell. A veteran who's not producing should still have to earn his time like anyone else.
