The Unsung Hero: Brendan Haywood Is The Dallas Mavericks Best Player In Recent Weeks

Posted Feb 23, 2012
Hold on: What?!? But you read that right. Doing my tweets about interesting statistical bullets after every game, I realized that Brendan Haywood never puts up flashy stats, but he always performs at least solid, if not better. He usually is the Mavericks best rebounder on the field and is always in the Top3 or so in terms of defensive +/-. You won't notice his presence sometimes, but he is doing work night in and night out. (Mavs Moneyball)
