Who are the best backups by position?

[MrChug]

Who is the best backup center in the league? PF? SF? SG? PG?

-I think without hesitation that Dikembe is the best backup in the league without question. Is Zo better?

-I'd have to vote for Boris Diaw at the 4.

-Nocioni at small forward considering Luol's starting.

-Not too much of a homer to admit I love what Brent brings to the Spurs (some nights)

-PG? (we know it's not Beno), but I really like what Earl Watson's doing despite the team results. 8.3 ppg 5.2 apg in 25 minutes? Good enough for me.

Maybe I'm overlooking some obvious players, but what do you think?

i think Jose Calderon could make a run for best backup PG

he has 7.2PPG and 4APG in 18 minutes of playing time
he's a great energy guy and consistently blows by his defenders for easy layups when they underestimate his speed

he just chokes a lot towards the end of games, especially on free throws.
and he does not know how to break a full court press.

Ben Gordon on the SG position.

These are too easy. But the Diop one is just HILARIOUS! :lmao You're such a kidder!! Look at stats and per 48 efficiency before you throw names like Antonio Daniels out there.

[MrChug]

Barbosa's amazing, so yeah. Sorry, I just watch alot of Sonics games and am impressed by how much he changes the game when he comes in.

[MrChug]

:toast Yup Noc's 15.9 ppg and 6.3 rpg in 29 minutes are FAR inferior to Stack's UNTOPPABLE 10 and 2. Good one :dizzy

[Bob Lanier]

Point guard: Ben Gordon
Off guard: Leandrinho Barbosa
Small forward: Andrés Nocioni
Power forward: Sean May
Center: Alonzo Mourning

[Leetonidas]

No Mike Miller?

When Manu comes off the bench he is easily the best off the bench player.

And :lmao @ Matt Carroll.

Doesn't Jamal Crawford come off the bench? The guy has serious talent, if he would ever play to his potential he would >manu and almost every other sg in the league.

It's all about minutes played. I would be averaging more points as well if I was given more minutes. Avery Johnson is a turd for not starting me. I demand a trade.

[mffl89]

Barbosa, Gordon, Childress, Lee, Mutombo
