  1. JJ has the most range of any shooter in the country....bar none. The guy can consistently pull up from the mid point between the half court and three point lines and hit it. Redick is also the best for his ability to come off screens and be set in the air...no one has his form. Plavich is overrated because he is almost putrid inside that three point arc and basically his only game is the three. He is good but Id but him 5th o na top 5 list. Percentages are dumb too...they are skewed by how many you take and such. 680138[/snapback] Bar none? You are a joke. You claim not to be a homer then you spew this garbage. Salim Stoudamire has as much range and is a better shooter, as evident by his 54% 3P shooter compared to Redick's 42%. Last week at halftime of an ESPN game the question was posed to all 3 studio announcers who would they rather have shooting the 3 at the end of the game for their team and all 3 took Stoudamire and also mocked Redick's shot selection. As far as range goes, there are many with his range. Stoudamire, Horner, Palvich, hell even Bracey Wright from IU can bomb them for halfway between halfcourt. As far as shot selection goes, it is part of the game Passion. Deal with it and quit making excuses like a baby.
  2. Passion, nobody can argue you about any Duke topic. You are the equivalent in homerism that many people are here on the Marlins. If every player was a top 3 at their position like you seem to think then Duke would be undefeated and an all-time team. Quit whining and bashing other teams whenever Duke is called into question. Also, quit acting like Duke gets no respect, that argument is lame and old already. 676130[/snapback] Shelden is top 2 in the country and no one else is. I never contended that they were. You know little about me to call me a "homer", I ran a Duke website that was very successful for about three years and was anything but biased. And if you think things are lame and old, dont come in here and spout.... 676455[/snapback] Spare me. congratulations on your unbiased website but here on this message board you are very defensive and biased with your rose colored glasses about Duke. Now alot of people are like that about a team, which is fine, but you need to realize it about yourself because you are too. It is also debatable that Williams is a top 2 big man in the country. Many people would argue otherwise, which is perfectly accecptable and you need to comprehend that and come to grips with it. Many people would prefer Roberts or Diogu, because you don't and won't does not mean it's not true. Bottom line. Also, dont give me your BS about Diogu and Roberts beating up on weak competition. Since when did padding your stats against UT-Martin, Davidson, UNC-Greensboro, Valparaiso, Toledo and the Illinois-Chicagos of the world become difficult? 676537[/snapback] You make that point, but then discount that there is the possibility of Williams being top 2. Williams big games came against Va Tech, Miami, NC State, Maryland, and one of those you mentioned ILL-Chicago. He never got more than 16 against the others. 676547[/snapback] I don't believe Williams is top 2 and your reasons for discounting others for possibly being better than Williams is ridiculous and biased. Plain and Simple.

  4. No way Perilloux takes his job.. Russell is impressive as hell... see Capital one bowl 676339[/snapback] One game doesn't make the player great. Look at his season stats, even with the Capital One Bowl included into them: 47% completions, 7 TDs versus 4 INTs for a great school isn't impressive. He also took 13 sacks in only 129 pass attempts. He basically had his chance to star this year and let it slip away. There is a chance he will let it slip away to Perilloux as well.
  5. I'm surprised Perilloux went there with Russell being the starter 676301[/snapback] Russell will have to compete with him for the job this year. I would not be surprised at all if Perilloux won the job.

  7. Oh yeah, can anyone name me a better big man right now than Shelden Williams? 675998[/snapback] Lawrence Roberts is a better big man. I would also rather have Josh Boone and Hakim Warrick if you count him as a big man, although I dont know if we are talking only centers. However, Roberts is without a doubt a better big man right now. 676070[/snapback] Shelden: 16.3 ppg 11.8 rpg 3.6 bpg 60 FG% Roberts: 18.3 11.3 rpg 0.8 rpg 0.9 bpg 47 FG% Plus his numbers are really inflated with his big scoring games against Arkansas LR, Florida A&M, and Jacksonville St. Plus, the SEC is no ACC. 676077[/snapback] Don't give me your homerism BS. Williams also has better people around him to take the pressure off and let him do what he does best and give him more opportunities. Every analyst I know would say Roberts is the better big man.

I would also rather have Josh Boone and Hakim Warrick if you count him as a big man, although I dont know if we are talking only centers. However, Roberts is without a doubt a better big man right now as is Diogu. I dont care how "inflated" you think his stats are. You could also argue he is basically his team and teams gameplan just to stop him and he still is great. Those two are very much above Williams.
  9. good, i'm glad the spurs remained smart and passed on this dood. 669249[/snapback] Always nice to see you try and rain on a parade....as usual.
  10. They are Canadian, thats probably why the name sounds so bad to us. His nickname is probably a good reason he left Canada too, what a terrible nickname.
  11. there are reasons people only give him 2 mil a year.. because nobody wants him. i have a lot of friends who are white sox fans and NONE of them like the signing we already have 2 'emotionally fragile' pitchers... the last thing we need is a catcher like Pierzynski for them. 660739[/snapback] really?.... all my White Sox fans love the signing... They havent had a decent hitting catcher since before Ron Karkovice was there 660745[/snapback] Are you saying Ben Davis isn't a great catcher?
  12. Fritz, no need to get harsh man. I stated on these very boards that I kinda wanted the Vikings to win. Hell I even made a thread saying I didn't want the Packers to make the playoffs because their defense is so abysmal. I have no problem that Moss owns us. He does. No doubt. What I have a problem with is people like him taking the game and using it as a stage for self promotion. Football is a team sport, T-E-A-M. I also now knowing the tradition of our fans mooning the opposing bus' think the Moss Moon was kinda funny. But his other stuff that he's done is just absolutely senseless. 656187[/snapback] 1. Your quotes are entirely made up for the most part from his college days 2. He was kicked off of FSU for marijuana. He never beat up an FSU teammate. He beat up a kid who called him and his friend, "n****r" then attacked his friend in HS. Get your lies straight.
  13. Defense is still part of the game and while he may be out of position in RF, that is where he is. However, Wade is a superior defender in basketball. They are both already proving their offensive gifts, however, I have to say Wade is more special. He is arguably the best at his position in the entire NBA. However, the same can not be said for Cabrera yet.
  14. As long as the Packers get David Pollack or Erasmus James, I'm cool with whatever else happens. 648118[/snapback] Pollack you will have a shot at but I can tell you James will not last until the Packers selection.
  15. He'd make a good 4th-6th round pick. 647320[/snapback] Too bad he wont last past round two and might go round one now. Many scouts are very high on him. He has a strong arm, nothing cannon like but strong enough and is extremely intelligent. He can move around and has all the intangibles, he is just a winner.

    Where is Joe Perry from Aerosmith on this list? He is an all-time great.
  17. Wouldn't we have pick #3 with Cleveland getting the #2 and SF #1? 646869[/snapback] No, because the Fins have a worst record against the AFC than the Browns do 646910[/snapback] No, it is beacuse the Miami Dolphins overall opponents winning percentage was lower than that of the Browns, meaning they had the same record with a weaker srength of schedule.
  18. Again I come back to the OBP arguement. JP is .001 higher than Luis.? The arguement of JP being on base more is mute.? Period. Hey Das, is it a mute point or is a moot point? :thumbup 642571[/snapback] leave it up to you to point that out. 642612[/snapback] Hey, I just occassionally bust your balls like you bust the balls of others. Give it and take it, right? :thumbup

  20. Fason is married with 2 kids to support already, I'm sure that weighed heavily on his decision.

    6.5ppg, 2.5rpg, 2.4apg on .387% FG and 28% 3PA. 11 MPG in last 5 games because Pop doesn't like his defense and according to ESPN Insider prime candidate to be traded, already name on block. Remember that great signing you claimed, Das? How's it looking now?
  22. ^^^^ your right and hes wrong.the other guy is just a jackass and this forum is full of fanboys for their own teams. 628330[/snapback] Thank you. I can tell he is because he wasnt posting very smart comments. 628381[/snapback] Funny because youre the one who has resorted to personally ripping on two people in this thread. Usually thats a sign that someone is getting a bit emotional because they can't handle others presenting rational disagreement. And the only fanboy in this thread has been you. I gave credit for Delfino and Prince. I didnt say the Magic had some super scouting team, rather just said the Mavericks were the best IMO. Youre the one that is getting all flustered amd pissy because I dont think the Pistons somehow discovered Wallace and Billups. Is that some foundational truth youve got there or just an opinion that we disagree on? Oh my God! How can someone think 8 rebounds per game is more than a role player! What a nightmare! How idiotic! You wanna call me an idiot...say my posts are inaccurate garbage...say Im ignorant..based on a discussion of the NBA? You clearly have trouble having discussions with others. 628881[/snapback] I'm not fan boy. I am a Heat fan, not Piston fan. Youre posts are very inaccurate and full of nonsense only you could have made up. Why post junk like that? 629206[/snapback] What did I make up? 629254[/snapback] About 85% of your information you posted to argue against me was either made up or very inaccurate.
  23. thats right, he gets a vote.... I say he picks Peterson but Id vote for myself 629275[/snapback] I wonder if he wins will he get 2 votes next year?

  25. No clue, but I do know the 40 times of your 3 really fast receivers coming out of HS: Devin Hester: 4.24 Roscoe Parrish: 4.29 Darnell Jenkins: 4.35 Also, Antrell Rolle runs about a 4.4 flat and Frank Gore runs about a 4.5 right now (used to be a 4.3 before the knee problems) 628694[/snapback] Those times are very inflated. Parrish will not break 4.30 when he runs. Hester is fast and could be in the high 4.2s. Rolle runs MAYBE high 4.4s and Gore was never a 4.3 guy. He was a 4.5 guy always who had great game speed. His lack of speed was on of the reasons Butch Davis did not recruit him for RB at Miami and he did not get offered until Coker took over.
