James White > Daniel Gibson

Quote:

The very limited play time White got, he was impressive, particulalry his defense.

You're implying he impressive on the offensive as well as defensively?
The limited time he has seen has shown me he need a lot of work to do on his jumps hot, his ball handling skills are almost as bad as mine (which are terrible). His "D" is so-so, he made mistakes and the only way he held his own st times was because of his athleticism Just because a player is athletic doesn't mean a thing.....reference Harold Miner.

No doubt about it.

white couldve won the slamdunk championship at home when he wasnt invited, thats how far he can leap.....

wheres my green text for sarcasm?

The caliber of the players on the teams make this comparison nearly impossible. White may be better than Gibson, but White can't crack the rotation, while Mike has no choice but to throw Gibson to the wolves.

The big word is IF. Your thread title implies the right now....which Gibson>>White. Do you know how many players have been in this league because of potential and never did squat? I am not saying White won't be any good, but putting above Gibson right now is just plain absurd....(there's that word again since you love it so :D).

his getting there man...being towel boy is just part of the job, just ask beno

Boobie is really good. He was the top-rated PG by many scouts going into his sophomore year, but he didn't do a good job of being the distributor and team leader, so he dropped to the second round. No one ever doubted his scoring ability or defensive intensity, which he has displayed during these playoffs.

He ended up in exactly the right situation, where he could play off the ball and didn't need to be the distributor, but could still guard the opposing PG. I certainly wouldn't mind him backing up TP, but I think he's in Cleveland to stay.

As far as who is better between him and White, I'd say there isn't enough to go on.

whats the chances of him backn up parker? throw the MLE at him? i think he can still improve his game....


news just in, cavs are lookn at buyin a pick in upcoming draft....gibson for our last pick?? do brown you know you wanna

Beno would actually be good on that team. He doesn't have to handle the ball but he can start the offense and hit outside shots. I keep thinking the Cavs are going to try to get him.

i'd rather see white out there when we are up by 29 instead of barry. i think white is gonna be something special in the next 2 yrs. i'm hoping he pans out for us...

Gibson is damn good. I'd take him over three James Whites.

You have to remember that Gibson was once upon a time considered a top five pick in the draft ... so the talent is there. Then he busted at UT and his draft stock plummeted.

The kid is tough, has a money jumper and has already proven that he can step up on the big stage and knock down shots. He's done nothing to prove that he's not a championship caliber player.
