His rebound rate and block rate are pretty bad for someone that's supposed to be a physcial specimen. Orton's stats
Pretty bad? If I am reading correctly, his "per 36" was 9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. That is not pretty bad IMO.

His rebound rate is 14.3%, that's only slightly better than Lopez and Jason Smith who both run around 13. His block rate is 2.2 compared to Smith's 4.3 and Lopez' 5.0. Being a physical freak is supposed to be what makes Orton special, I'd expect better numbers than that. Again, I'm all for giving him a shot, but what he's shown so far doesn't make me think he's any better than Onuaku.

How much can you really look at a "per 36" when in 2 seasons he has only played 29 games averaging 10 min per. That is an extremely small sample size. He has played less than 300 total minutes.

But, someone will give him a chance in camp. He has potential and will likely make a team. He prob shouldn't have come out of Kentucky after one year. His lack of numbers and lack of development were clear when he came out.
