Chris Andersen put together a fabulous preseason for the Nuggets, and has clearly earned a starter's spot, outplaying both the starters at PF and C (Martin and Hilario).
In playing just about the same mpg each, Chris averaged more total rebounds, more offensive rebounds, more free throw attempts, and way more blocks, than either Martin or Hilario. He scored less, but only because he took less shots. His scoring efficiency, points per shot, was higher.
Rebounds: CA 8.3, KM 5.6, NH 5.3
Offensive Rebs: CA 2.5, KM 1.4, NH 1.2
Blocks: CA 2.2, KM 0.4, NH 1.0
FTAs: CA 5.5, KM 3.4, NH 5.0
Scoring Efficiency (points / FGA): CA 1.5, KM 1.25, NH 1.4
When a guy is a better scorer, rebounder, and defender, that usually means he is the starter, right? So why isn't he starting? Hmmm, why could it be??? Is it because Chris is missing the one most vital ingredient for playing in the NBA, dark skin?
