<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Here's a sight no one ever expected to see: When Tyson Chandler got the ball in the post in a win over the Suns on Saturday night, the Suns dropped a double team on him. "Eventually he can be a 20 [points]-and-10 [rebounds] guy," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. "This year he's going to be a double-double guy. We like to throw it to him down there because we have a lot of confidence in him." This was after Chandler had 19 points and nine rebounds in 24 minutes, including a smooth 7-for-9 on free throws that had court-side scouts shocked. "He looks like a different player out there," one scout said. "They should send Shaq and Ben Wallace to the free-throw school he went to." Posting, hitting free throws, catching a bullet pass in traffic from Chris Paul and dunking—this was Tyson "Lobster hands" Chandler? Remarkable transformation for the player who was a quivering wreck in five seasons with the Bulls. "I had to get over a lot of bad habits," Chandler said. "I feel I've freed myself of that. Playing with Team USA this summer, going against Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, I learned a lot. I made moves and they worked, and if they could work against those guys, the best in the league, I figured I could do them against anyone. I feel I can be a presence in the offense."</div></p> Sam Smith / Chicago Tribune</p>
I don't see him as a 20pts type of player, but his rebounding is among the top of the league..and if he develops his offense a little more, he'd be considered a top 5 center.</p>
