Juwan or Joel?

[KingSpeed]

Joel is the better shotblocker but Juwan provides more offense and almost as many rebounds as a starter.

Just saying...

Joel without a doubt. Even if the rebounding numbers look similar, Joel is a far greater rebounder and is also far greater on defense.

Offense: Juwan > Joel
Defense: Joel > Juwan
Rebounding: Joel > Juwan

Overall: Joel > Juwan

Not really thinking this is a good thread.

Joel's a great backup center. Howard is a great veteran presence. They have two completely different roles.

Przybilla
PER: 11.3
TRB%: 21.5
DRtg: 101
BLK%: 4.9

Howard
PER: 10.5
TRB%: 12.4
DRtg: 108
BLK%: 0.8

Pryzbilla quite easily.

Juwan obviously. He's healthy.

Juwan does not provide anything approximating Joel's rebounding ability. Ridiculous. As for the overall premise in your post, what's the point? There is no choice; Joel is out, Juwan is doing all he can to play center at 6'9" and that's that. Even the question is idiotic, Juwan is probably going to retire in one more year max, and Joel's recovery is still very much up in the air.

 

[BlazerWookee]

By the time Joel comes back, Juwon will, in all likelihood, be out of gas.

 

[oldguy]

Boneheaded question.

Go Blazers

I own you. Juwan Howard is a former All Star basketball player. And Joel is no LeBron. As a starter, Juwan is almost grabbing as many rebounds as Joel was and he is scoring more. It's a legit topic for discussion.

You're the one dubbing down the boards with personal attacks.

Oh, by the way, the Grizzlies are 22-18, having won 21 of their last 31 games. Not an NBA story? Hahahaha. They're quietly becoming THE story of the year.

Trust me Eric, nobody gives a shit about this stuff, it's fluff and filler -- cotton candy for the brain without the pleasant sugar rush

No.

On a related note, how do you "quietly become THE story of the year"? Oxymoron?

Answer the question without making personal attacks or get the fuck out. Seriously. I'm 17 and I can see how childish some of you are being.

Please speak for yourself. This "trust me, I know what everyone in the forum thinks" crap is getting old. Not everyone thinks like you. Read the fucking thread and you will see that some people (like Vanilla and Fez) actually responded to the thread with intelligent arguments. You actually did too. But to start declaring what EVERYONE thinks is fucking ridiculous. Just say what you think and leave it at that. Please.

Just the smart ones.

Another personal attack. Not just at me but at several posters on this forum.

Go ahead, join DaRizzle and hijack perfectly innocent threads with personal attacks. OR you can post in the threads you like and skip out of the ones you don't and keep the discussion about BASKETBALL. THAT seems to be what I would think the "smart ones" would do.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Fail.
