Artest isn't known as a great scorer, though he had a good season in Sac. If Artest has a mismatch on him he can take his man (which is a lot more unlikely given T-Mac is out so Artest is drawing the opposing teams best perimeter defender), but running everything through him even w/ the 2nd unit is detrimental. If we were going to run isos all day what was the point of hiring Adelman?

really? look more like he's hogging the ball
3 defenders on him and he still trying to force through them



Thats what I am seeing. Artest doesn't back down from double or triple teams. He just bulldozes them over and misses a layup or gets it blocked.

34.4% for the year. The man is shooting worse than Rafer.

He is being blocked 23% of his inside attempts, and is shooting just 37% inside. This is unacceptable. If you're going to drive you've got to finish at a rate way higher than 37%, and not get blocked almost a quarter of the time.
