    I am a little slow here - what is PER? Player Evaluation Rating? Player Efficiency Rating? Pietrus Energy Reservoir?

    That's because he's from Argentina. Although he did play in Italy.

    But it really is AK-47 hands down.

    some of it is...some of it isn't. there is a mountain range that is slipping my mind that is the dividing line. but i believe AK is from moscow and that is in europe.

    It's the Ural mountains

    Moscow is definitely on the European side!

    I think most Russians would see themselves as Europeans and not Asians!

    Dirk:
    2nd in the league (behind KG) in defensive rebounds per game
    1.25 steals per game
    1.55 blocks per game
    New coach that stresses defense more.

    All that makes me think he is a much better defender now than people give him credit for. Their system has been designed to outscore the opposition, but his defense has gotten a lot better, too.
