The fact that he has a great knack for rebounding, and is without a doubt one of the best rebounders in years is indisputable...but can anyone bring up a solid argument as to why this guy is even remotely close to being a franchise player? Or how he would even come close to sniffing an all-star game if he was on a legit team? The guy excels at one thing. One thing.
I know nobody actually watches Twolve games, but their offense doesnt even run through this guy. He's not a guy you go to in the post because he'll draw double teams and make his teammates better...he get his points alot like Marion got his when he was putting up 20-10 with Phoenix. Except he gets alot of his off of offensive rebounds and assisted jumpshots wheras Marion got his in the fastbreak and assisted jumpshots. Neither player has/had many plays run for them though.
Easily the most overrated player in the league. He put up a 30-30 game, thats great and historic but that doesnt make him an elite player. Blair had two 20-20 games last season as a rookie on a good team, but other than in the eyes of a few Spurs homers that never made him the second coming of Moses Malone.
Give me Aldrige, ZBo, and Kardashian over this guy for the all-star game. Even Scola tbh.
