Will Camby's presence stunt Greg's growth?

[KingSpeed]

If Camby plays well this season and we do well in the playoffs, I would assume that we'd start Camby at the start at the beginning of next season. Will this hold Oden back in that he won't get the minutes he needs to grow as a player?

 

[BenDavis503]

I don't even want to reply, because you know the answer. But hell.

OF COURSE NOT. It will only HELP. Just like Howard has done for JP and DC. Just like Miller has done with Bayless and even Roy. Veterans help youngsters. Especially class vets like we have.

But first and foremost, Oden needs to stay on the court to start at all. Next year if we have Camby, I start him over Oden for sure.

 

[Nikolokolus]

LOL. If anything having a guy who understands the team game and help defense it will only help Greg.

 

[RoyToy]

If Greg is healthy, he will start. Pretty simple.

Plus he's better.

LOL brilliant question, even tops your last one which was not easy.

First of all, Camby would have to be re-signed.

But if Oden doesn't start, when/how will he become the superstar center we thought we drafted?

 

[J~Rush]

The subtler rudy

 

[Sex Panther]

This is a good question, especially since Camby is notorious for stealing rebounds away from teammates and padding those stats.

 

[Minstrel]

He will start, though. So what's the issue?

 

[BenDavis503]

Yeah, cuz Nate totally uses that kind of logic. :smh:

And you cannot say Greg is better than Camby.

Greg is better than Camby.

Seems I can.

 

[Minstrel]

He hasn't been more valuable, since he plays fewer minutes, but the efficiency numbers suggest that he's a better player when he's on the court.

 

[BenDavis503]

Um, dude. News flash. He is not going to be a superstar center. The sooner you get over that, the better you will be. If he has a career similar to Camby, that should be considered a fantastic career.

 

[BenDavis503]

Greg is better than Camby.

Seems I can.

Your fucking bad ass dude. Wow.

 

[BenDavis503]

Numbers suggest a lot of things. But stats and numbers don't mean shit when you are not on the court.

Next?

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Your fucking bad ass dude. Wow.

I know.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Quite the opposite, actually.

 

[BenDavis503]

I know.

I bet you do, you big bad ass mu fukker.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I bet you do, you big bad ass mu fukker.

Oh I do.

 

[ABM]

I know.

 

[BenDavis503]

Oh I do.

I wanna find out how bad ass you are.

 

[Minstrel]

Numbers suggest a lot of things.

Yes, quite so. We like to know things. Numbers help us with that.

But stats and numbers don't mean shit when you are not on the court.

Sure they do. You don't get numbers when you're not on the court, so the numbers still nicely reflect his play.

If Oden got "off-court rebounds" and "off-court points" (other than the ones his cellphone pictures garnered him), then I'd agree that they don't count for shit.

Next?

Numbers never shouted at a homeless person. Is that your problem with numbers? Are they a little too weak sauce for you?

You are brilliant. And the person isn't homeless anymore. I murdered them.

 

[Minstrel]

You are brilliant.

I know.

 

[BenDavis503]

I know.

Are you single?

 

[Minstrel]

Are you single?

Are you coming on to me?

 

[ABM]

Are you single?

Ben, Ben, Ben. Quit while you're behind.

 

[BenDavis503]

Are you coming on to me?

What if I am? You have something against the gay community?

 

[BenDavis503]

Ben, Ben, Ben. Quit while you're behind.

Nothing but love for you bro. I wont disrespect you. I do enjoy your subtle stabs at me though lol comical.
