Can't believe how easily gortat was given up. I wanted that dude bad. I feel like Dallas goes as far as their rebounding and defense can take them. I am in love with the offense however

29th among centers in PER (Dalember was 16th)
23rd among centers in Rebound rate (tied with 6'6" Blair-- Dalembert was 4th.)
21st among centers in TS% (also tied with Blair)
25th among centers in estimated wins added (barely above Kaman)

Are his stats below his average because he was dogging it and unhappy with a bad team? Certainly, but those stats definitely don't portray a top-tier center worth 7mill a year, either. Those stats show either an above-average backup or a below average starter.

Thanks for the stats. I guess I still have his Orlando days still in my brain not realizing that was almost a decade ago
