How poor was Boston's rim protection? The NBA utilizes player tracking data to define "rim protection" as "the defender being within five feet of the basket and within five feet of the offensive player attempting the shot." Crunch the numbers for opponent field goal percentage for every player in the NBA that appeared in at least half (41) of their team's games and the first Celtics player doesn't appear until No. 116 in Kris Humphries, who limited opponents to 50.8 percent shooting near the rim.

Boston's other bigs? Jared Sullinger lands at 198th (53.9), Brandon Bass spots at 202nd (54.1), and Kelly Olynyk finished 257th (56.3). Rookie Vitor Faverani actually had the best number (46.1) over 37 appearances, which would have ranked him 31st overall (albeit in limited per-game reps).

Ma che contratto ha Vitor?! non riesco a trovare una fonte certa... da una parte dice che è scaduto e dall'altra che ha altri 2 anni da 2M!!

Utile A sto punto spero che possa ritornare utile essendo un vero centro, cosa rara dalle parti del TD garden,anche se Stevens non lo vedeva bene nel parquet ...eppure non sembrava cosi male...

di solito la Spagna fa giocare Ibaka (tipico castigliano) come passaportato e meno male che la FIBA ne consente uno solo per squadra....
