With Pritchard, it is a pretty reasonable assumption that he will give you 15 min or whatever, every night you need that.  But could you count on that with Wall?

I think his body will hold up well enough to play 15 mpg.  The question is, do you want him to?

Scroll down for the stat comparisons.  That's probably a pretty fair look at what each would offer.

Don't get me wrong, you will not hear me being critical if they pass on Wall for whatever reason.  But of the players suggested in the OP, he is the one guy I felt may be able to find a role.

Giles is also interesting to a point.  I suspect he would not be any better than Vonleh, if that, but if you could get him on a 2-way, based on a positive private workout, I would understand that.  I have no idea where Giles is at physically, mentally, whatever so I can't really judge, just speculate, just like all these other potential scrubs.

Jay Scrub doesn't appreciate that.

No offense intended towards Mr. Scrubb.

These stat comparisons are based on the two games the Celtics and Clippers played last year?  I'm not sure what conclusion I'm supposed to take of the stats in general, nor how they are at all representative for either player.

See the bolded, or what VG wrote.

Wall, thanks. Someone who likes to dish out the ball is always welcome. Shoots the 3 as mediocrely as Smart does, so I don't want him on the court in the last minute of tight games because he will wind up as the open man just the way Smart always did.

Bit further down. Stathead has changed their player comparison tool completely, and the layout is all different.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)
