Daniels...8.0 min....6.0 pts....56%.....(no 3's)..........(no FT)........0.3 reb.....1.0 ast.....0 blk......0.7 stl.

Delk and Best are omitted because of injuries.

So who's been shooting the best among the top players (in terms of minutes) ?
1) Nash
2) Fin
3) Dirk
Who's HOT from 3 ?
1) Fin
2) Nash
3) Dirk and J Ho
Best free throw shooters ?
1) Nash
2) Dirk
3) Fin

Let's go to a per minute breakdown, ok....

Most points per minute:
1) MarquisD
2) Fin
3) Dirk
4) Scottie
5) Fortson

Most rebounds per minute:
1) Shawn
2) Scottie
3) #8
4) Jamison
5) Eddie

It looks like the Big 3, to me...with some nice stuff from Scottie. And a bit more from the others in the 3 headed center...We could use more from Jamison...
