Hollinger gives Przy some love.

It's an excerpt from an ESPN "insider" arcticle so posting the link might be useless, unless you are subscribed, but I thought he gave a nice write up on our Vanilla Gorilla nonetheless.

Portland's Joel Przybilla made his lone field goal attempt last night, and is now at 83.6 percent for the season. That's not a typo -- he's made 46 of his 55 shot attempts. And he's stepped it up of late -- in his past seven games he's 18-for-19.

Of course, nearly all his shots are dunks, and the ones that aren't are left-handed layups (interesting quirk -- the right-handed Przybilla almost always finishes with his left). His True Shooting Percentage is an other-worldly 81.4, which leads the league by a wide margin; second-place Walter Herrmann of Detroit is at 67.4.

Przybilla, of course, is highly unlikely to keep shooting quite so well all season. But he's been an underrated factor at both ends while Greg Oden gets his NBA sea legs, and is one big reason the Blazers are a surprising third in the Power Rankings today.

Would someone PLEASE tell Hollinger that, in spite of what all his numbers say, Joel actually, in fact, SUCKS!
