Mike Monroe: Spurs' Parker trying to catch Wizards' Arenas

i dont think pargo is on the faster end of point guards either

[nkdlunch]

yes I've seen him play. He played in DC too. That's why I can't really speak for the others, 'cause to judge speed, you really have to see the players live, not on TV. Again your statement, that Arenas is average speed is ridiculous. End of story.

Is that why Pargo has a top ten fastest time ever in the Chicago draft camp speed drills?

So if I've seen them all play in person, wouldn't I be a better judge of speed?

Thought so.

Maybe. My wife isn't in the media and I don't have access to every basketball resource known to man, but I have seen him handle the ball against teams in game situations, and he is not a top 10 fastest point guard.

It's easier to do a drill than to play the game.

I listed 14 guards. Yeah, I'd say he's not in the top ten.

But he's still damn fast.

Naturally. I'm sure every potential point guard in the nba is faster than even victoria legend Bo Malette...

If we're talking 40 times or something like that, I would have to guess the distribution of speeds is very clumped. But most of this is kind of subjective anyways. I've always thought TP was the fastest ever, but naturally, cuz I'm a TP fan.

i would say what makes parker look so damn fast is his ability to cut and change direction so quickly. in 2 steps he is seemingly at top speed again.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Timvp owns nkdlunch on this one IMHO...

On the flipside, who is the SLOWEST PG in the league? Jaric? Cassell? Payton, now that he's on crutches? Who is the guy that just can't blow by anybody???

LOL
once again the knowledge has been dumped
Why dont they record and publish 40m times for basketball?

[leemajors]

because no one runs in a straight line for 40m on the court.
