25 minutes
12 pts
7.2 rebs
.609 fg%
His best 3 months were the last 3.
He performed best with 0 days rest, followed by 1 day rest. He's a tru warriar.
He was our best rebounder.
He had the 2nd highest FG% on the team, behind Nazr. |
Unfortunately, what really matters is his playoff numbers. And they are not good. As far as the regular season, regardless of field goal percentage, Dyess still hurts by his shot selection. I estimate that Dyess would have to shoot 70% on those fades before we broke even. (Remember, Dyess has too shoot considerable better than the next guy, who takes appropriate shots. If Dyess shoots 70%, thats just 20% or so better than the next option. You got all those fast breaks for the other team, lack of fouls drawn, poor rebounding position that has to be made up in that margin.)
Not to mention Dyess already has to make up for his poor defense.
