Darren Collison 20 assists

[Pelicans78]

1) You said they should be first team all rookies, they are both guards, meaning the deserve it over Jennings and Ty Evans. Explain how.

2) Collison: 10.9 points per game, 4.8 assists per game
Thornton: 12.6 points per game, 1.0 assists per game
Jennings: 15.8 points per game, 6.1 assists per game
Curry: 16.0 points per game, 5.4 assists per game

Curry > Jennings > Collison

Those guys have played more minutes, but Collison and Thornton have been more efficient.

Curry has been playing garbage minutes on a bad team.

Jennings's numbers are inflated from one good month. Plus he's shooting terribly. Bucks are better with Ridnhour.

Also, All-Rookies can be the five best rookies regardless of position.

And it shouldn't. Them being too ty to start is their problem, not Stephen Curry's or Brandon Jennings'.

Obviously, they aren't too ty to start, if they've been playing like this with starter minutes.

Booby > Collison

Booby > Paul

[Goran Dragic]

Those guys have played more minutes, but Collison and Thornton have been more efficient.

I guess Dejuan Blair should be ROY since he's "efficient". The "he plays more minutes" argument is always bull .

[Goran Dragic]

Obviously, they aren't too ty to start, if they've been playing like this with starter minutes.

Jennings and Curry shouldn't be handicapped by the fact they've played more.

[Pelicans78]

Oh so you're using the head to head argument, sounds a lot like what Utah and LA fans do when they try to argue D-Will > CP3.

Look at the overall numbers. Collison has been doing better per minute. He has better numbers than Curry, especially when starting.

[AnthonyM]

I guess Dejuan Blair should be ROY since he's "efficient". The "he plays more minutes" argument is always bull .

To be fair to Collison, when given the minutes of a starter such as Curry or Evans or Jennings, he's produced some monster games...

[redzero]

Jennings and Curry shouldn't be handicapped by the fact they've played more.

I'm not saying they should. I don't Collison or Thornton should be rookie of the year, and I don't really care about the award anyway.

I'm just glad to have draft picks who aren't complete and total busts.

[Goran Dragic]

Bucks are better with Ridnhour.

Yeah, they went 34-48 last year with Ridnour and they're currently 33-29 with Jennings. Do you have any proof they're better with Ridnour, or is it like when Deron Williams fans say like, "Deron Williams is just better than Chris Paul" when they have no backing for it?

[Pelicans78]

Jennings and Curry shouldn't be handicapped by the fact they've played more.

But Curry's not really playing all that well. He's playing for a terrible team and in playing 35 minutes a game, he only averages 5 assists per game despite playing on a fast-paced team. He's really not having much impact.

Besides shooting, what else can he do better than Collison?

[Goran Dragic]

Look at the overall numbers. Collison has been doing better per minute. He has better numbers than Curry, especially when starting.

Dejuan Blair is averaging 15 points 12 rebounds per 36 minutes, maybe he should be ROY.

[BRHornet45]

Dejuan Blair is averaging 15 points 12 rebounds per 36 minutes, maybe he should be ROY.

Thornton is averaging 20.1 per 36 min

[Pelicans78]

Yeah, they went 34-48 last year with Ridnour and they're currently 33-29 with Jennings. Do you have any proof they're better with Ridnour, or is it like when Deron Williams fans say like, "Deron Williams is just better than Chris Paul" when they have no backing for it?

Bogut's been healthy this season. He only played in 36 games last season. He's already played in 56. He's by far their best player.

[Goran Dragic]

Besides shooting, what else can he do better than Collison?

Besides 275 pounds, what's the difference between a 400 pound woman and a 125 pound woman?

[Pelicans78]

Dejuan Blair is averaging 15 points 12 rebounds per 36 minutes, maybe he should be ROY.

He could be the second best rookie after Evans. Not sure if anyone would dispute that.

[Pelicans78]

Besides 275 pounds, what's the difference between a 400 pound woman and a 125 pound woman?

I'm comparing two PGs.

[Goran Dragic]

But Curry's not really playing all that well. He's playing for a terrible team and in playing 35 minutes a game

Yeah, like the Hornets are a great team when Collison plays 35 minutes.

he only averages 5 assists per game despite playing on a fast-paced team. He's really not having much impact.

Collison is only averaging 4.8 assists a game.

[Goran Dragic]

He could be the second best rookie after Evans. Not sure if anyone would dispute that.

, why, because of his good per minute stats?

[Goran Dragic]

I'm comparing two PGs.

You're comparing two basketball players and acting like their ability to put the basketball into the hoop doesn't matter.

[Goran Dragic]

Bogut's been healthy this season. He only played in 36 games last season. He's already played in 56. He's by far their best player.

Are you seriously trying to argue Luke Ridnour > Brandon Jennings?

[Pelicans78]

Yeah, like the Hornets are a great team when Collison plays 35 minutes.




Collison is only averaging 4.8 assists a game.

Collison plays 11 less minutes, basically one quarter less and his assists are basically the same. Only 5 less points.

[Goran Dragic]

Collison plays 11 less minutes

That sucks. Maybe one day he'll be good enough to play more minutes.

[Pelicans78]

Are you seriously trying to argue Luke Ridnour > Brandon Jennings?

Not really, just that Collison is having a better season than Jennings. Jennings is shooting 36% from the field. That's garbage. He plays 10 more minutes a game than Collison and averages just one more assist. How's he having a better season than Collison?

[Pelicans78]

That sucks. Maybe one day he'll be good enough to play more minutes.

Are you saying he sucks because he had to backup Chris Paul for most of the season?
