Don’t Expect RJ High Scoring to Continue But He’s “Legit All-Star”

[GMJ]

Lebron is a great defender, and is part of what makes him one of the most complete players in the league.

I'm a homer? Well I defended Lebron, Bosh, Amare, Shaq... and last time I checked neither player wears a Nets uniform. Let that sink in. Now, at this point any personal attack would be redundant before it would be against the rules, so I'll refrain.

This is a dumb thread, but had to chime in, because there's no way on God's green earth you can call Nash 1-dimensional. He completely changes the complexion of every game he plays in. Opposing defenses have to account for his passing, shooting, and the way he single-freaking-handedly controls the game. The sheer pace he wills on a game is like nothing anyone else in the league can do, except maybe Baron Davis. Anyone claiming he's 1-dimensional has zero understanding of the game.

Also, RJ is certainly not 1 dimensional, but his asst., reb, steals, should be higher for a player of his caliber. That would be a true statement. However, when Jason Kidd is on a team, every other player is going to be a bit lower in the rebound, asst., categories, because he accrues a bunch of those.


Here endeth the Lesson.

Because he's got the speed and length to stay in front of his defender, the size to keep opposing SF's off the post, and the athleticism to be a good shot blocker.

Saying that Dirk is comparable is embarrassing for you.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3523

PPG: 24.5
RPG: 4.5
APG: 2.6

as you can see he's not doing anything else except scoring which is one-dimensional. 4.5 RPG for a small forward!!! are you kidding me? He's more one-dimensional than Melo this season.</div>

Williams and Boone are better rebounders than Krstic/Moore and Collins. The chance for boards go down. As scoring goes up, assists are down too.
