Who's your cult hero?

[MARIS61]

Leonard. Nothing could help us more than his potential realized.

I want CJ to come back and be our new human victory cigar. We need "CJ McMuffin" to replace "Cha-Luke-a".

 

[WillG]

Patty Mills - just for his personality and enthusiasm.
Wish we still had him, he's a good glue guy - good for team chemistry.

You know what's even better for team chemistry?

Winning.

Seeing as how my cult hero was Batum, and he has graduated into true hero status, my new cult hero must now be...

The Man

The Myth

The Legend

Barton's potential to be a disruptive defender and instant offense type of player elevates him to 'cult' status in my book.

Like an augman type player? I could actually see that

 

[Mediocre Man]

Honestly, and probably surprisingly, mine is Leonar_

If he does well, this franchise takes a giant step.

Stacey Augmon? He was a big letdown for us. And he never learned to shoot.

I'd be happy to have Will be pre-injury Rudy.

We got Augmon pretty late in his career though. I think we knew what we were getting at that point.

I think he's exactly the same type mold of an augman player. If you think Barton will get to a Rudy level; you will be disappointed

Rudy was so smart with the ball. Huge BBIQ. He was just so slight of build. He took that one fall because of Ariza and he was never the same again.

I don't think Barton has nearly the BBIQ that Rudy has.

Augmon was known as the best defender in college basketball but not much of a scorer. Will is the opposite. Plus Barton has PG skills, whereas Augmon's handle was very shaky.

Agreed, Rudy is likely a better player (and has better BBIQ) than Barton is likely to be, but their skillsets more nearly overlap than do Will's and Augmon's.

I do agree that augman is definitely a much better defender; but there is just no way I see similarities between Rudy and Barton. Barton does have better handles than augman; but both of their frames are similar. Also Barton has just as much of a terrible shot as augman!
