In 2008-09, only six NBA players averaged 10 rebounds, only five averaged two blocks and only three averaged nine assists. Dime thinks Brook Lopez and Devin Harris could join those elites this year. Aron Phillips notes Lopez's 8.1 rpg and 1.8 bpg came in 30 minutes a game "and those minutes should definitely increase". Harris, he writes, "might need to average 9+ dimes a night just to get some Ws."
