Some observations relative to Damp's +/-:

As of right now, there are several of Damp's stats that just seem a little off, and not just from what he did last year for those who are thinking contract year. Each of the past two years Damp was a clear strength on the boards for the Warriors, not only in terms of his own numbers, but in terms of team success on the boards. That hasn't so much been the case thus far in Dallas. Even though his individual rebounding numbers have climbed following his double digit efforts, the team rebounding with him on the floor is still substandard. His blocks are also conspicuously low, and while he's never been in Bradley's class as a shotblocker, he has been around a 2 a game guy. Finally, his scoring percentages are off. The source of the jump in Damp's fg% last year was the distribution of his shot attempts shifting more towards inside scoring, where he's been an equivalently high percentage contributor each of the last two seasons at least. This year he's maintained the distribution that brought about his career highs last year, but the percentage at which he's converting inside is down quite a bit.
