I had a couple of little quibbles to make here, but something jumped out at me and I had to go check:
Spencer's reb/48 last year was 11.7, not 14.4
48/13.1 = 3.664 x 3.2 = 11.7
Which led me to go check the stats of the other players you mention, and they were all off too? Not sure what the formula you were using was, but it was overstating for everybody. You can see it pretty clearly with Camby -- 6.3 in 30.1min (more than half the game) means he couldn't possibly average 12+ in a full game.
The good news is that while I couldn't duplicate the error, I guess as long as it was the same one every time, the comparison would still stand (not that I think its actullay remotely valid as far as predicting Hawes' future -- I will eat my hat if he ever averaged 15rpg the way Kaman did last year).
P.S. the quibbles were that Pryz was a scawny scrub in his early years and that Camby actually started off as a tweener forward in Toronto rather than a big.
