TOP TEN PLAYERS IN TOTAL ATTEMPTS BLOCKED, AS OF 11.10.09

Player Times blocked Games Played
Carlos Boozer 14 7
Gerald Wallace 14 6
Rodney Stuckey 14 7
Carmelo Anthony 13 7
Zach Randolph 12 7
Brendan Haywood 11 7
David Lee 10 8
Gilbert Arenas 10 7
Trevor Ariza 10 6
Rudy Gay 6 4

That’s my boy, Boozer! That’s my boy! Two Grizzlies on the top ten list? How could that be?! I feel good about Boozer’s ability to maintain here. He’s got the skillset and mindset to make this dream a reality. The best part is that most of this week’s blocks on him were by the Spurs, who he trounced in having his best game of the season.

TOP TEN PLAYERS IN PERCENT OF ATTEMPTS BLOCKED PER 40 MINUTES, AS OF 11.10.09

Player Percent Blocked
Pops Mensah-Bonsu 100
Darren Collison 33.3
Hammed Haddadi 33.3
Sergio Rodriguez 33.3
Malik Allen 28.6
Tyler Hansbrough 28.6
James Jones 25.0
Shaun Livingston 25.0
Joel Pryzbilla 21.7
J.J. Hickson 21.4

That’s right. Pops has shot the ball once, and it was blocked. It’s possible the Rockets could cut him, meaning he retires this year with at least sharing the championship. Unless Boozer finds a way to get blocked more than all the time.
