Here is one stat you don't see very often. I am a bit suprised by the numbers cuz' I thought I'd see more pg and sg on this list than what's shown. The 30 most blocked players last season who took at least 3 shots per game (percentage of FGA blocked shown): 1 Malik Rose SAN 14.0% 2 Brad Miller IND 13.8% 3 Zach Randolph POR 13.2% 4 Nene Hilario DEN 12.6% 5 Amare Stoudemire PHX 12.5% 6 Kenny Thomas HOU 10.8% 7 Jermaine O'Neal IND 10.8% 8 Aaron McKie PHI 10.8% 9 Dajuan Wagner CLE 9.9% 10 Kenny Thomas PHI 9.7% 11 Stromile Swift MEM 9.5% 12 Vlade Divac SAC 9.5% 13 Caron Butler MIA 9.4% 13 Jerome WilliamsJ TRN 9.4% 15 Carlos Boozer CLE 9.4% 16 Ruben Patterson POR 9.3% 17 Derrick Coleman PHI 9.2% 18 Antonio Davis TRN 9.2% 19 Drew Gooden ORL 9.2% 20 Jamaal Magloire NO 9.0% 21 Donnell Harvey DEN 8.9% 22 Al Harrington IND 8.9% 23 Ron Artest IND 8.8% 24 Erick Dampier GS 8.8% 25 Eddy Curry CHI 8.7% 26 Shareef Abdur-Rahim ATL 8.7% 27 Tyson Chandler CHI 8.6% 28 Rodney White DEN 8.5% 29 Marcus Camby DEN 8.5% 30 Lorenzen Wright MEM 8.4% Source: 82games.com
Well, guards take the majority of their shots from outside and don't get blocked as often, and the guards that get to the basket usually have their shots changed or draw fouls...
I can understand that Malik Rose at the top of the list due to his size and the position he plays but what about brad miller? That dude is over 7 ft tall and agile but still got almost 14% of his shots rejected? Dayum...
Actually, I was expecting Yao to be on that list. He was getting rejected last season on a semi-regular basis by 6'10" scrubs
Neat list. Thanks for posting it. Not a big deal, but I see this thread as more appropriate for the NBA Dish, unless a critical mass of posters want to dwell on Kenny Thomas.
The majority of the players on that list are undersized for the position they play. Obviously, that's not a problem for Yao. I think it can seem like Yao gets blocked more than he really does because just because it's such a huge deal when a player spotting him 7+ inches blocks him.
I am just surprised with brad miller, amare and vlade on the list. Those are good players. I am also glad we traded that black hole KT to philly. He's consistent. Consistently getting blocked with both teams.
