Gerald Wallace - 08-09 Season Review
05/26/2009The numbers have no surprises in store for us with Gerald Wallace - he was very good this year. At the 3 or as a small-ball 4, Crash got it done for the Bobcats.
While the efficiency numbers for Gerald at power forward are not great, do remember that -0.9 is actually better than the team's overall mark for the year of -1.2.
I was wrong earlier - one surprise: Defensively, players at small forward scored more often against Gerald than normal - relative to 100 team points. However, they shot almost 2 points lower in doing it, so teams were attacking Gerald while decreasing the efficiency of their offense? Good plan.
Here are his offensive numbers as well:
Why the rush? So I could get to the net:
Gerald destroyed as a power forward - making me think the team's somewhat struggles had more to do with other positions on the floor at the same time...like 2 six-footers in the backcourt, maybe?
Final thought: Just go through these as a reminder of what Gerald contributes. Lock down D, strong rebounding, and solid offensive game (when he does not settle for too many jumpers - like LeBron did tonight in leading the Cavs to a loss in Orlando - I do not even cheer for the Cavs and I was frustrated by their offense).

| Brett Says: | Marcel, you can find some stats at 82games.com but they do not have all of this. In particular, they do not have expected results or accurate PER calculations (at least the last time I checked). All the numbers I use in my posts I create from data I store from each game. I do not have these numbers generated for every player, as it takes a couple of hours per player. | ||
