Out rebounded Drummond and Monroe combined 13 to 10

Asik had as many offensive rebounds as detroits whole team (3)

Drummond came in averaging 14/15/2 over the last month. Went for 2/2/2 tonight

I'm one to bitch about Asik, but only his offense. He is still horrible on the offensive side of the ball, but he definitely shut both of them down tonight. It is what it is I guess.

Have you not seen his stone hands? Surely he has at least twice as many turnovers as comparable centers.

Through the magic of camera tracking we can easily find out how many times per game a player touches the ball LINK Divide the Turnovers per game by the Touches per game and you get a percentage of how often they turn the ball over per touch. I came up with a list of comparable centers, who we could replace Asik with or who some of us wish Asik was, and the only one with a better Turnover per Touch percent is Splitter.

No one is disputing him being able to rebound or protect the rim. What most people can't stand is how he has the hand-eye of a 6 year old and is dreadful offensively

As much as Asik drives me nuts at times, I will say this of him in hindsight:

1. He has played and started 34 of 38 games*.
2. Although his scoring isn't where we would like it, he is fairly consistent.
3. Rebounding is there pretty much every night.

In preparation for games, it really helps out a lot knowing what you'll get from one or more of your guys. We just need progressive improvement and we'll be satisfied with him.

I have been very impressed with Omer's passing this year. He can make some creative passes. Those hands tho....


BTW guys, z on c - one of my coworkers, told me that c on z just managed to get him banned. He wanted me to post that on here.

I watched the game for about 2 minutes and sure enough I saw Asik claim an offensive rebound, then tard out and immediately fumble the ball away to Detroit
