Notice how Larry Sanders of the Bucks is nowhere on that list. And he was second in the league this season in blocks per game with 2.83. And he only played 27.3 minutes per game this season. Also, based on reality Tim Duncan should be a lot higher on this list as he finished third in the league this season in blocks per game.
