    As I got to looking at some of the stats this morning (http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2015_leaders.html) I noticed that I was starting to come across Chris Kaman's name a bit in league leader stats. But not in the way I expected. I was one of the people wondering if his game was slipping a little but after looking at some of this his value is much more well rounded than I thought:

    Total Rebound Percentage: 12th in the league

    and

    Defensive Rating: 10th in the league at 98.5

    So although he doesnt seem to be scoring the same he is definitely doing the other things, defending and rebounding at an extremely high level.

    He's in the perfect role for his style of play: 20 minutes with the green light to shoot, and to use all six fouls. He plays hard and we win. Good stuff!

    Plus he doesn't get as much wear and tear on his body like he was the last several years starting.
