I don't hate him. He's playing like dogshit, though.

From watching the games I don't think he's doing that bad. Obviously he's not doing great, but I've seen him do some good things, and to me, he still looks like he belongs out there.

This.

Again, we can't say we see trends. But he's not doing great, and he's not doing horrible.

Babbitt dribbles just fine for a stretch 4. Certainly not for a 3, but definitely for a 4. He will find a home.

uh....I don't think so and I watched him for 3 years here, he does rebound ok and can shoot the 3 in stretches but I'm no Luke Babbit fan by any stretch of the imagination. Also apparently nobody liked him off the court.

Too bad denver did not sign him so we could watch teams score 150 a night

Jj and babbitt together is a beautiful thing for opposing players

Most players shoot 3s in the flow, on the move with a hand in their face. Babbitt had plays designed just for him. Often when he shot, no one was within 12 feet of him.

So his average 3 point % was actually below average. When posters wrote that he had shooting ability, I would post, "Psst. It's a secret, but Babbitt can't shoot."

Silly Babbitt, basketball takes skill.

Babbit had a great run the last half of the season when we traded away Gerald Wallace. He was leading the league in 3point shooting accuracy until the final games when some Knick, I think Novak, beat him out for it. He's accomplished more in the NBA than Allen Crabbe, Will Barton, Victor Clavier, and Meyers Leonard.

Has he, though? I mean, isn't "nothing" equal to "nothing"?
 
6th man of the year vote. /thread ;)
 
I'd take Luke Babbitt back over Dorrell Wright seven days a week and twice with Mrs. HCP.

They're playing exactly alike, Luke last season versus Dorell this season. I can't in good conscience let myself like Babbitt for playing as bad as Dorell when I hate Dorell for it.

You missed the comment regarding twice with Mrs. HCP. He was referring to the fact he has a better chance of having more "manhood" next to Luke than next to Dorell.

:lol: I always thought Luke was shunned by the other players because his cawk is huge.

Well, I am much more likely to pee next to Luke Babbitt at Willamette Speedway than I am Dorrell Wright...
 
If I had to choose one to play in a consistent role I would trust Dorrell over Luke. Luke has shown flashes of being capable in the past but has never really put it together. He had such a good opportunity last year to step up. I am really disappointed so far in how Dorrell has performed but I am still confident he can still break out of this slump. He has had some good-very good seasons in the past and just needs to find his stroke again.

Nothing about Luke says "speed". I know we're talking cars, but I just can't equate anything "speed" with Luke. He's more like a sloth.

He's deceptively fast. Well, "fast" might still be a stretch, but he's not as slow as he looks...

The per-36 says Babbitt fouls twice as much as Wright. At least Dorrell can last in a game if injury to Batum ever requires it.
