I am also pretty sure the guy's a decent NBA player. If you want to use PER, then Yi's is 9.4 and Seraphin's is 8.3, nate. Wall has a bad ORTg of 99, a worse WS/48, and a very bad DRtg of 111. His PER is respectable at 15.5. However, that is skewed by injuries and playing with Hinrich.

The numbers can say what you want them to say. My opinion is Jeffers and Owens both are good looking bench players. Shakur isn't needed with Crawford on board, but I like him, too. I remember his first couple games. There is a reason he was signed the rest of the season long ago. He is not a bad player.
CCJ, I get that Shakur's D-League stats were good. My point was, Shakur is Exhibit A on why great numbers in the D-League don't translate in the NBA. He has been a terrible, terrible basketball player. He played well for his first two games (before anyone got a scouting report) and has been absolutely abysmal ever since. He honestly might have a negative PER if you throw out the first 3 games.
There reason he was signed for the rest of the season is because everyone in our backcourt was hurt except Wall and Young, who we're each playing 44 minutes a night.
