This thread is hilarious. Have we lowered our expectations or were we that high on Wang freakin Zhi Zhi?

LOL, this thread is classic.

I think in general fans tend to overrate players on their own team. If there's any doubt, just spend a few moments perusing trade proposals on various sports message boards.

It's hard to blame Charlie Brown for overestimating Wang. He was averaging a career-best 5.6ppg on 44% shooting and 41% shooting from three. He was also pulling down 2 rebounds per game in only 10.9minutes.
Dampier was only averaging 7.6ppg (on 44% shooting) 5.3rpg in 23.8mpg and he couldnt shoot threes!!!!

Maybe Mr. Brown didn't see that Dampier had also contributed 1.2apg and an amazing 2.29bpg (in that short time). Wang had .4apg and .3bpg in his short amount of time on the court.

Dampier was a better rebounder, a better disher, was less foul prone, got to the line more often, and had phenomenal block per minute numbers. He could have played 43.6mpg without fouling out and statistically would have put up 14ppg, 9.7rpg, 2.2apg, 4.1bpg and would have shot 5.3FTs/g
