Look at the 36 per. The leaders are stephen graham and Ike Diogu. Shawne Williams has some nice numbers himself. Your thoughts? Graham needs more playing time?

I know we had a debate about that somewhere here and we did discuss Graham and Diogu at the time. Thing is, they don't play much minutes but do produce in garbage time vs. low end backups, in either a for sure win or for sure loss. I do think that Graham may be a somewhat hidden talent because of his game and size, but he is nowhere what his 36-per says. He's probably not even a starter in this league and never will be.

All the per minute adjusted stats generally are skewed to inflate guys that play under 7 minutes or so a night. It's too hard to get any sort of an accurate reflection on a guy in such a small sample of minutes.

Told ya I thought Ike could be a 20/10 guy. :-p
