Iggy,Gay or Deng?

[intruder]

That is quite possibly one of the worst posts I have seen somewhere. Yes, two players averaging the same doesn't make them equal, but to players averaging the same with the same eFG% or FG% does. And for all this "setting up" of others by Gay, Deng has averaged more assists over his career , with no Marc Gasol to feed. Deng is one of the most underrated players in the L.

Would you compare one Allen Iverson's 26 ppg to Joe Johnson's?

I'll help you out: AI's fg % was lower than Joe's. So who was the better player in those respective years?

better yet:


Paul Pierce vs Joe Johnson in 2006 2007

Both averaged 25 ppg

Joe had the better shooting percentage

You'd pick Joe Johnson over PP THAT YEAR?

THIS^ I read that last post saying deng is the better of the three defensively and was like Luol isnt better than either one of those guys

Nah.. Rudy is not nicer than Deng defensively.

I might get killed for saying this, but Batum has been playing Bron-Pippen like on both sides of the floor since he got that contract extension and is easily the Most Improved Player this year so far and should stay on pace.

Yeah hes picked up his offense attacking the basket more. When the hype of him being the next Pippen got loud last year he played up and down but this year hes been steady.


But to the topic, shots been off this year but hes still scoring the same. That tells you alot and how much he does off his athletic ability. Andre was lebron-lite last year with the assist and rebounds and i felt he played better defense than Deng last year. All these nikkas can score 20 and make no difference in a game. Them quiet points stop them from being number 1 options. Batum wants that number 4 spot

one of those things is not like the others.

gay never been to an all-star game...ever.

and that makes him a lesser player than the other two?

question.. do you think Loul Deng is a better player than Rudy Gay?

He was robbed last year

*looks at stats and accomplishments*

yes

 

[thelonious21]

Is he gay or dead

 

[Conscious Pilot]

I think Iggy is best all around but Id pick Gay if I had to put one on my team.

 

[torcher]

My list goes

Batum
Deng
Gay
Iggy

Granger who I think is overated is sumwhere in this mix

 

[ManBearPig]

Gay is clearly the best

 

[Slob On My Knob]

deng

 

[feelosofer]

I would go with Iggy

but Rudy Gay is one of the most low-key all star caliber players in the L.

But Memphis despite scoring a lot this season is really a defensive team and he doesn't get shine like that.

Nah.. Rudy is not nicer than Deng defensively.

maybe ur right. I think with rudys range and athleticism he could be a hell of a defender if he wanted to

You'd pick Joe Johnson over PP THAT YEAR?

A) PP is an all-star

B) PP cruises half the season, but can turn it on at any given time and go for 40.

C) When it matters, PP is a lockdown defender and super clutch.

Rudy is none of the above. Nobody is saying Rudy isn't nice. Deng is the main reason Kobe didn't go to Chicago , he didn't want to play without him. Gay's game may be more aesthetically pleasing, but there is no basketball purist who would take Gay over Deng. Matter of fact, if Memphis right now tried to trade Gay for Deng, my money's on Chicago rejecting that trade.
