You had found another stat somewhere (82games?) that was not strictly in the paint, but in the general area. Maybe that only makes Amir and Max go to 100% and Sheed and Dice to 50% and doesn't change the argument though.

I don't think you can not start Sheed, so that would put Dice first off the bench (again). My only concern would be that Dice has picked up his game this year and I think that comes from starting (both more minutes and more production). He's really turning into a rebounding animal and I'd hate to lose that. Getting a consistent level of energy and somebody always trolling the paint might make losing that worthwhile though.

If it's a three big man rotation, then I think you have to leave Sheed and Dice starting. If the Pistons really play a consistent four big man rotation, with Max picking up a couple of minutes and Amir 10-15, then this is really interesting.
