TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Tyler]

What am I missing Tyler?  B-Ref has Wood's block % at 2.8 and Maxi's at 3.6.  That makes Maxi 28% better.  EPM lists Wood's number as the 37th percentile among C's and Maxi's in the 90th percentile among PF's.

I'm just looking at the blocks per game. They both averaged 1.0 per game this past season, and they also have identical averages of 0.9 per game for their career. One could argue that the averages are deceptive this last season since Wood averaged more minutes, but for their careers they average almost identical minutes. So I think Wood has more block potential than people give him credit for.
