    How do you splain Scola & Leon Smith & Barbosa?
    Barbosa is easy the nba says you can't trade first round picks two consecutive years, so the spurs got around it by drafting who phoenix wanted just to trade him away, happens all the time.

    I'm astonished at the number of basketball "fans" that are on this site that don't agree with Blair being the greatest rookie of all time. Is it just cause we haven't even played a regular season game yet or what?

    Ipso facto, what'd you get for Barbosa. And while we're at it, what'd you get for Scola?

    So, you all are telling me that you turned Scola into a pick that turned out to be Blair?

    + why did you give Barbosa to the Suns? What did you get in return?

    Da_suns_fan... do you realise it isnt a fair comparison when you contrast one guy who was by the far the best player on a mediocre team, to a guy who was the 5th option on the best team in the league? Do you think a PER statistic might be slightly skewed for a guy as the number 1 option on a bad team, when his abilities are more suited to being a second, maybe third option at best? Also, do you not think a player becomes less efficient as their role expands, especially on a bad team like Milwaukee.

    This question you can actually answer...
    For one, Jefferson wasnt the best player on the bucks. That woud be Michael Redd. Secondly, you could just as easily argue that his stats should be inflated considering he gets to do whatever he wants and gets to play tons of minutes. As for not being efficient Im not going to believe for ONE SECOND that Jefferson rebounded poorly because Redd and Bogut were injured. Likewise for his very low assists and steals numbers.

    Do you think Trevor Ariza would still have a higher PER than Richard Jefferson if they switched places. Say, Ariza spent last season as the number one option for the Bucks, i mean taking 20 FGA and having 75% of the plays run through him as a scorer/creator, with Bogut and Redd missing the majority of the season as they did. And Jefferson was the 5th option on the Lakers behind Kobe, Pau, Lamar and Bynum, taking 10-12 shots per game and living off double teams attracted by those four guys?
    Im interested in your view.

    Ariza will have a higher PER than Jefferson this year. Its not about "options". This isnt football. There is no quarterback making reads. Ariza has a higher PER not because of scoring but because he excels in several areas such as rebounds and steal and Jefferson doesnt.

    This shows how much you watched Jefferson last year. How many games did Michael Redd play? How many games did Andrew Bogut play? You dont think penetrating and dishing to Dan Gadzuric instead of Andrew Bogut makes a difference? Or kicking to Desmond Mason instead of Michael Redd makes a difference in assist numbers?

    We are not just talking about Jefferson and Ariza here. When a guy is asked to shoulder a large burden of a teams offense, other areas of his game, such as defense, rebounding and efficienctyy are bound to take a hit - especially when that guy is more accustomed to being a 2nd or 3rd option. It works the opposite way to.

    Thats just the way it is.

    Dejuan Blair is not the greatest rookie of all-time. Tim Duncan was. David Robinson was second. Blair is like 3rd.

    Except for tonight. Blake wiped his ass with the Grizzly Blair.
    Griffin > Blair was always the case. Spurs fans will just have to be content with having the second best player in the draft.

    "Everything about the '07 and '08 (and the '04, '05 and '06) drafts makes me want to punch myself in the brain. The fact that the pick we gave away in the Dragic trade turned out to be DaJuan Blair is salt in the wounds."

    Can somebody give me the particulars on the last the sentence of the above post, please? I'd appreciate it.

    I got the information over on phxsuns.net this morning.
