we don't have much playing time for him and he's WAY overpaid(and injury prone) BUT...
Corey Maggette in 26 min. per game is shooting 48% (16ppg) and gets to the line 6.8! times per game and shoots 'em at an 80% clip. also averaging a surprisingly good 5.3 rebounds. to put in perspective Pierce avgs. 5.8 fft in 35 mins. granted on a more half court oriented defesive -mided team, but still.
Maggette isn't a great defender and turns it over some. and we don't have tons of minutes for him. i'm just trying to think of guys we can get who can get to the rim/ft line in tight games come playoff time. GS would have to throw in A.Randolph or a protected 1st and take back Carroll. even that might not be enough to swallow that contract.
it would be nice to get a big that can post up and play a 2man game with Dirk to make the defense pay for doubling. in lieu of that... Maggette and a young chip?
