Interesting numbers: Dirk is averaging 2.6 more FGA per game than Finley, and 2.6 more FGM. Fin's also only averaged 3.0 FTA per game, which is most assuredly a function of his pulling up for jumpers instead of attacking the rim a la Stackhouse, who averages nearly twice as many free throw attempts per game.
It must be a coincidence that Dirk is taking more shots per game while Finley is out because Stack (14.25) is averaging near the shot attempts in the last 4 games that Fin (14.8) did in his first 5. Throw in the fact that Fin was averaging 3ft attempts in his five games to Stacks 6 attempts in his last 4 and it shows Stack is dominating the ball more than Finley was. Not sure why Fin was being called a ball hog and accused of taking shots away from Dirk while Stack is being praised for his .

Another way to look at things is to show totals instead of averages:

Fin:

5 games
158 minutes
32-74 fg
8-18 3pt
13-15 ft
85 points
23 rebounds
12 asssists
3 steals
4 blocks
9 turnovers

Stack:

8 games
239 minutes
39-91 fg
7-21 3pt
36-43 ft
121 points
22 rebounds
19 assists
8 steals
1 block
16 turnovers


Stack has played 3 more games, logged 81 more minutes, taken 17 more shots, 28 more ft's and has managed to only score 36 more points than Finley did. He's grabbed 1 less rebound, only dished out 7 more assists, stolen the ball 5 more times, turned the ball over 7 more times, and has blocked 3 less shots than Finley.

Sorry if I'm not impressed.
Excellent breakdown.

Can't argue with the numbers.
Too bad charges drawn, and overall defensive play, doesn't show up in the numbers though.
