I thought a three represents a shot that is worth more than a two.

It's not that Sheed makes every game 1-7 or 2-9 from 3 ... he makes often 4-7 , 3-5 , 4-9 or so ...

IMO he's without doubts in the top5 of the NBA PFs.

Sheed 3pt fg this month
5-13
3-6
1-6
2-5
0-2
1-2

12/34 = 35%

and before that

1-11

I definitely don't deny Wallace shoots a lot of perimeter shoots, but he shoots them well and it makes him a more dangerous player because he also scores inside.

Wallace is also one of the premier post defenders in the game.

I think Wallace is a better player than Dwight Howard right now, when both offense and defense are factored in. Howard certainly has the potential to be better, but he's not as valuable today.

He doesn't really shoot the 3 that well. Although he does hit a lot of big ones. And I agree he is a very good post defender. IMO his defensive ability has become quite a bit overrated playing on the best all-around defensive team in the league. But that is normal playing on a team where 4 of the 5 starters are above average defenders ... which few if any other teams can say.

I think Wallace is one of the most talented big men, if not the most talented big men, in the NBA. But fact is he's never played to his full potential. If Rasheed is so great offensively why is he averaging the same PPG as Dwight? And with far less efficiency. And don't so his role is limited because he has gotten up a lot more FGA's than Dwight.

So yeah, I would consider Wallace at this point a better defender than Dwight. Dwight is pretty good one on one but still gets lost on pick and rolls and on rotations ... but other than that Sheed has a marginal lead in assists and steals but Dwight completely trumps Rasheed in rebounds.

Of course it is really easy to say Wallace has more impact on the game considering Detroit's record and the teammates he plays with ... and it is just called excuses when talking about the idiots like Francis and Dooling that Howard plays with.

That all being said ... no way Sheed deserves to be an All-Star over Dwight. It is the All-Star game ... it is supposed to be about individual performance not team performance. Team performance should really only be factored in when two players are too close to call.

Take that all with a grain of salt though ... i'm a homer.

He was playing the Orlando Magic; that is the reason he was launching 3's from the outside. If you view any games against a top 5 or even top 10 team, Sheed will be Detroit's post offense early and late in games. The guy cannot be guarded and he knows it. The coaches picked Sheed over Dwight for a reason; he is the biggest matchup problem on the best team in the league. No big center can guard him on the outside and no PF can defend him on the inside.

PS. Don't knock Sheed's defense. It has not dropped off yet, watch some Piston games if you can bear it. What people have not catched up on this year is that the Pistons do slack off the first half on defense and exert all their effort on the offensive side. After halftime, they know what the opposing player's strategy has been so they put an effort into making teams very uncomfortable (see Friday's Orlando game) the second half while maintaining the onslaught on offense.

That's it right there. If Sheed was playing exactly as he does now in Atlanta nobody would even be talking about him ... anywhere.

I didn't knock Sheed's defense. I just said people have been overrating it. And what is the "if you can bear it" comment? Am I Pistons hater now because I said Dwight should be in instead of Sheed? I watch the Pistons and I love what they've been doing. Doesnt mean I can't think Sheed doesn't deserve to be there.

And ?


If my center shots with the 40% from three, he can bring even 10 triples per game ... (little euphemism, ok ... but ...)
