We only have advantage in SF and C positions. I did not notice that the opposing center is shooting only 41.6% from the field and the net PER* for Yao stands at 8.6, currently ranked #1 among all players in the league, ahead of Shaq (8.5). ************************************************ Houston Rockets 2003-2004 NBA Season Stats Team Production by Position Position FGA eFG% FTA iFG Reb Ast T/O Blk PF Pts PER* PG 15.7 .413 5.2 25% 6.2 7.3 4.2 0.4 3.5 16.9 13.3 SG 15.7 .491 3.5 20% 5.0 4.2 2.4 0.5 2.9 18.3 14.9 SF 13.6 .511 1.7 14% 7.4 3.0 2.6 0.5 3.8 15.4 12.0 PF 14.5 .459 3.3 45% 11.3 2.3 2.9 1.6 6.3 15.6 13.6 C 15.3 .539 7.4 47% 13.4 2.1 3.3 2.5 4.7 22.1 21.5 Opponent Production by Position Position FGA eFG% FTA iFG Reb Ast T/O Blk PF Pts PER* PG 15.8 .475 3.7 21% 4.9 7.9 2.9 0.2 3.2 18.1 16.6 SG 15.8 .425 4.5 19% 6.1 3.9 2.5 0.3 3.1 16.9 12.4 SF 15.5 .424 4.3 24% 7.5 3.2 2.5 0.5 2.7 16.3 12.3 PF 16.7 .427 5.6 32% 10.3 3.0 2.5 1.4 4.4 18.3 15.5 C 14.2 .416 5.6 43% 10.9 1.9 2.1 1.8 7.0 15.5 12.9 Net Production by Position Position FGA eFG% FTA iFG Reb Ast T/O Blk PF Pts PER* PG -0.2 -.062 1.6 4% 1.3 -0.5 -1.3 0.3 -0.3 -1.1 -3.3 SG -0.1 +.067 -1.1 1% -1.1 0.3 0.1 0.2 0.3 1.4 2.5 SF -1.9 +.088 -2.5 -10% -0.1 -0.1 -0.1 0.0 -1.0 -0.9 -0.3 PF -2.1 +.032 -2.3 13% 1.0 -0.7 -0.4 0.2 -1.9 -2.7 -1.9 C 1.2 +.123 1.8 4% 2.6 0.2 -1.2 0.8 2.3 6.5 8.6 Notes: the PER is a complicated single number rating developed by John Hollinger and used extensively in his excellent Pro Basketball Prospectus books. The league average PER is set to 15, but more importantly for this view, when comparing the team's production to the opponent production you can learn whether the team has been getting a net positive or negative overall contribution from that position. eFG% is the effective field goal percentage, adjusted for three point shots, while iFG represents the percentage of shots taken from inside/close to the hoop.

Either mistyped or read your stats wrong... we have an advantage at shooting guard (not SF) and C. Not really a surprise - Cat and Yao have been the team MVPS this year.
With Yao's stamina getting better each day, this stat line will be "hall of fame" worthy come next season. Hey I'm greedy and want this to happen in the playoffs in May!
