With five minutes left, his statline for today reads: 21 points (10-14), 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 8 steals, 4 blocks. When fit and on-song this guy is amazing. Wonder if the Maloof brothers regret letting him go.
Those are some nice stats! I havent seen him play that much though so I donno how his game has changed.

His jumpshot still needs work, but he has to keep working on it and he will develop a consistent shot. It would be a shame if he didn't at least make the 2nd all defensive team.

As you said, the jumper is still ordinary, but his specialty is defence and he can still score consistently with his athleticism. If he ever finds some range on his jumper you've got a scary talent to work with.
Like i mentioned in other posts...this guy will be a beter defensive player than Artest in a few years without being a complete nutcase...

He's better off the ball, right now right behind Kirlenko and on par with Marion in terms of off ball defenders, he averages 2 BPG and SPG. He's a good man to man defender, but he'll have to become a shutdown man to man defender. Having Emeka behind him would help too.
I always liked wallace, i think if he was playing with a contender he wouldn't do as well. His team depends on him and Emeka
This guy has been waiting to blow up ever since he left Sac town. I think this is the year, he's been putting up great numbers when he's healthy. Great D in this guy, a defensive stat machine on most nights. I'm just glad he went to a team where he can log major minutes. I'm curious, how old is Gerald Wallace? Him being a better defensive player than Artest in a few years is arguable too, I think GW could come close.
