Quit comparing him to Walker. Walker suks a$$. Rebounding is about the ONLY thing Walker can do ok.

For the record, Walker avg 8.3 rebounds at 34.6 minutes a game.
Drew avg 6.5 rebounds at 27 minutes a game.
The only reason why his minutes were less is cause he backed up Juwan Howard.

Do the math:
Walker - 8.3 divided by 34.6 = .239/minute or 11.51/ per 48 minutes
Drew - 6.5 divided by 27 = .240/minute or 11.55/per 48 minutes

Here is a few games where he clearly shows he can rebound well. He CAN pull them down, when given the minutes!!!!!!
Nice try at manipulating the numbers, but Walker's real numbers are as follows:

Walker: 684 rebounds in 2,840 minutes = .240845 * 48 = 11.56056 boards per 48 minutes.

And I never said Walker was a "BEAST" on the boards, because he isn't. He's a multidemensional power forward that can handle the rock, score, dish, AND rebound as well or better than Drew Gooden.

It appears that Gooden is a one-dimensional player, who's one dimension isn't better than any ONE of Walker's multiple dimensions.
