am I the only one who thinks Antonio McDyess is a better fit for Boston? furthermore, he might not eat up the whole MLE.
Sheed is a much better player.
I think Antonio McDyess is the better player, and by a large margin too.
I dunno. I thought I saw Sheed play better post defense, and he isn't afraid to take important shots. I like McDyess, but he has less range than Wallace, too. Why do you think he's better?
Bah ... lost my first post. Try, try, try again.
Antonio McDyess is a vastly superior rebounder. He yanked down 9.8 rebounds in 30 minutes, while Sheed got only 7.4 in 32 minutes.
Antonio McDyess is the better all-round defender. Wallace is a better interior defender, but he's a liability on the perimeter ... because he's losing his legs and no longer has the mobility required to defend players away from the hoop ... McDyess was the Pistons best pick and roll defender
(a staple of the C's defense), while Wallace was the Pistons worst. The biggest reason for the Pistons decline defensively last season, was the decline in Wallace's defense.
Dice got 10 points per game in 30 minutes for Detroit. Sheed got 12 in 32 minutes. Neither was all that efficient, a slight edge for McDyess in efficiency. Not much of a difference here, nothing to write home about. Both are good passers, Sheed being the better of the two.
Rasheed Wallace is declining physically at a frightening pace, while McDyess just posted his best season in five or six years. That fills me with more confidence in McDyess' ability to post a good season next year, versus Sheed, and in future seasons.
Bottom line -- McDyess was the Pistons best player last season. Wallace wasn't, he was one of the main reasons why Detroit suffered, he's aging and declining quickly.
