Ok, so football season is over and before I get too giddy about Opening Day in April (woohoo), we need to take a look at basketball season so far. I have now checked out three whole Mav games this year (way down from previous years) and I have one clear observation: I love Drew Gooden and his work ethic!
Now I know I have been spoiled by great Mav centers of the past: Shawn Bradley, Raef Lafrentz, and Eric Dampier (oh wait he's still playing for them). But Gooden has surpassed all of them in a short amount of time. He cleans the boards, scores from the 5-spot, and hustles for loose balls. On the season he is averaging 8.9 pts, 6.9 boards, and 1.1 blocks per game.
***As a starter he is averaging 11.3 pts and 11.4 boards.***
Has a Mavs center ever averaged a double-double?
Does anybody else appreciate this guy like me? Name your favorite Mavericks not named Dirk because I am interested in what kind of list we can come up with!
