I personally don't care, but what else would totals of this nature be a product of? I get that if it was like days of old where players stayed at least three years, Perry probably wouldn't be as high as he is, but you still have to take advantage of minutes/opportunity. He was primarily the low post scorer which means his offensive rebounds were going to be limited. I certainly wouldn't classify him as a prolific rebounder, but he had to do some. I mean you can't average 2 rebounds a game and be as high as he is even with his minutes/opportunity.
I think Perry has had an outstanding season this year. He's been our most consistent player, and on a team of a lot of "good but not great" players, he's the one player opposing coaches game plan around. It may be easier to limit him with concentrated effort, but if you don't, he will make you pay for it dearly. He's basically the only low post scoring threat we have, and if he wasn't as good as he is, the guards would find it much tougher than they do now.
Perry is best with an outstanding 5 position opposite him. He didn't have that this year and still produces at an All Conference level. I really have no issues with Perry.
