12 pts/9 boards per game but gets cut during the season for being a whiny little (bleep) about getting more touches. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

This. And his 12/9 won't be empty stats, but it won't help the team win during his minutes as much as it should on paper. _________________ Under New Management

low expectations. It's not like the team is expecting him to average a double double. I say if he can give 8ppg, 8rpg, and be relatively healthy then that's a win.
Think we will initially use him as a backup, coming in for McGee. Around the 7-8 minute mark. I expect he plays a strong energetic burst, and then is expected to do the same in the 2nd half.
Injuries are always the thing though. If McGee is out, Dwight will start. His minutes bump up. So I do not believe his season averages would reflect his actual per game production or role.
However with McGee available, I would guess Dwight plays about 18 minutes a game, 8 points-8 boards-1.5 blocks. His numbers are irrelevant to me. What I want from Dwight is energy on defense and running the floor, being a good screen setter. Not pouting on the bench. Being a high quality role player. If he does that, it will work out.

I think he’ll take the starting position once he’s familiar with the offense and plays good defensively, he’ll know to not act up again or he’ll lose his career
