Corey Maggette loves getting blocked. Loves it. He gets home from a hard day at the office, puts on the Ally McBeal soundtrack, and sinks into a warm tub of BLOCKED. 2.38 per 40 for the veteran, with a 14% mark. If 10% or more of your shots get sent back the other direction? Well, that doesn’t really mean much of anything, but that’s a lot of embarrassment throughout the course of a season. Gerald Wallace is looking to threepeat the crown, and he’s getting the shot opportunities to do it. It’s interesting that his blocked numbers haven’t gone down since he started playing the lights out, but maybe the offensive board-putback attempts have something to do with that.Check out Chris Douglas Roberts, out of nowhere! Hard work for the swingman. At the third highest percentage, he might be making a run at this thing.
TOP TEN PLAYERS IN PERCENT OF ATTEMPTS BLOCKED PER 40 MINUTES, AS OF 12.09.09
| Player | Percent Blocked |
| Acie Law | 50.0 |
| Shavlik Randolph | 28.6 |
| Pops Mensa-Bonsu | 27.3 |
| Derrick Brown | 21.1 |
| Shaun Livingston | 20.0 |
| Nathan Jawai | 18.9 |
| Etan Thomas | 17.9 |
| Kosta Koufos | 17.6 |
| Chuck Hayes | 17.1 |
| D.J. Augustin | 16.9 |
Acie Law may really not get an opportunity to lower that percentage. He just needs to take two three pointers in garbage time, but of course, the Bobcats rarely if ever see garbage time. Jawai’s climbing, and Chuck Hayes is kind of an interesting develop, owing mostly to his volume of shots at rim. D.J. Augustin? What is it that people on Twitter say? Oh, yeah. SMH.
