A double-double center can be invaluable, or he can be Kaman for example. Kaman is putting up basically 20/10 PER36 this year, on 51FG%. Yet he is absolutely terrible, and clearly a net negative for our team. We would be better on some nights if James would get all of his minutes. Dampier was not always awful, come on. He was considered awful because of his contract, and because we needed someone to blame after the 2006 fiasco. Chandler is obviously much better, but Dampier was a league average center.
