JB's basketball acumen is light years ahead of mine and he's been talking about how disappointing our big men are all year. I decided to look at the per 40 minutes numbers last year and this year.

PC: 
this year: 8.1p 11.9r 0.3a 1.4s 3.6b 1.3mfg 2.1mft 2.2to 6.3pf
last year: 7.9p 10.0r 0.6a 1.0s 3.6s 1.5mfg 1.3mft 1.6to 4.6pf

BS:
this year: 8.0p 10.7r 0.9a 2.0s 2.2b 3.1mfg 0.4mft 1.5to 9.3pf
last year: 8.7p 10.3r 0.4a 1.1s 2.1b 4.1mfg 2.3mft 2.0to 7.6pf

Scoring is about the same Paschal has rebounded better. Bourama has a few more assists but passing the ball isn't their game. Both have a few more steals. Bourama missed more shots last year, (an took more). He has fewer misses at the free throw line but has gotten there less. The biggest difference I see is that both are committing more fouls - and too many to stay on the court a long time. I associate fouls with two things: knowledge of where you are supposed to be and hustle. These guys should know better where they are supposed to be this year than last so I think the degree of effort is often the problem. I also don't have numbers on what opposing big men scored but I think that must be up from last year.
