Who would you rather have as your #2 option? Player A or B?

[J Shuttlesworth]

Player A: 32 PPG, 8 RPG, 5.4 APG
Player B: 30 PPG, 11 RPG, 5 APG

Who you got? Will post who they are later after a few ppl respond

[Young X]

Player B = David Robinson

[J Shuttlesworth]

DRob and KD
Neither of those are right. I posted purposefully loose stats too just so you guys can't google this shit (IB some stat nerd figures it out)

Pick a guy though. The numbers are close


Player B = David Robinson
It's not who i had in mind, but he may have put up those numbers

[navy]

Depends on the first option position and defense.

[Marchesk]

Does player B protect the rim?

[Prometheus]

Who's the first option? What position are they playing to get these stats? How is their defense? Turnovers? FG%?

Picking a "second option" based off of only PPG/RPG/APG with no information about any aspect of the team is as much nonsense as deciding what songs to download based on how many beats per minute they are.

I'd pick player B though, easily.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Does player B protect the rim?
Despite the rebound numbers, not really... not like DRob or Shaq or anything like that.

Will post the results on page 2. PM me for more info

I want to give more info but I don't want to give away the answers :lol

Let's say player A is a great energy player and great in the clutch. Assume his position is SG.

Player B is playing as a PF but capable of hitting outside shots or driving in. Not a great rim protector, but can play good man to man D.

Pretty close stats. I'd probably take 3 boards over 2 points and .4ast though.

Could be 3 offensive boards right there :cheers:

[navy]

Rebounds are overrated. Ill take player A.

A = Jordan?

[J Shuttlesworth]

A = Jordan?
Not Jordan. MJ could never be considered a 2nd option. Plus Jordan is far more than just an energy player. He's the complete game.

[Young X]

Are these regular season numbers or playoff numbers?

If that's the case, with no knowledge of the 1st option, I'd probably pick Player A. A clutch player is always great, and 8 rebounds from a guard is nice. If they were both the same position though I'd probably pick B

[Prometheus]

These guys are second options averaging 30+ points and 5+ assists in the playoffs? wtf. beyond stacked either way.

[J.Pullicin]

Player A: Jerry West
Player B: Karl Malone

Am I right?

When you said 2nd option I actually thought RWB but I don't really know if Clutch counts

I know he made those 3 FT's the other day, but I've seen him throw up a lot of bricks in the clutch too.

Thank you. I've already rustled the LeBron haters. Honestly though, those numbers don't lie. I didn't exaggerate shit, and it's pretty clear that Durant has a better 2nd option than LeBron ever had. Even 2011 Wade didn't put up numbers that good in the playoffs. This is what i mean when I say chip or bust.

What does this prove again?
That Miami's big 3 are no more stacked than OKC's big 2. Chip or bust

[Castor Troy]

The Heat are "stacked" with name players. However, most of them are over the hill and declining. Out of the Miami Big 3 and the OKC Duo, KD and WB would make up two of the top 3.

While Miami may still win the championship this year, it is obvious that he will need better help next year.

2011 Wade was better than Westbrook. Since then it has been Westbrook though.

[J Shuttlesworth]

I'd agree Wade is an overall better player in his prime. As far as now, Westbrook is nearly outperforming Bosh and Wade combined in the playoffs.

[Prometheus]

Wade was ballin in the finals, but lettuce not forget how bad he played in the ECF. He's been inconsistent since the Decision.

I mean, KD got bailed out in all-time fashion in TWO straight series. Playing like absolute garbage for...What was it? Game 4 vs Memphis I think? And Game 5 against the Clippers. Yet still winning.


Westbrook is just a monster right now though tbh. Putting up peak Magic stats but with more 3P shooting and scoring.

[pauk]

Well yea, KD's 2 other guys (Harden/Westbrook & now Ibaka/Westbrook) have if i remember correctly always been more productive combined compared to Bosh/Wade, this playoffs its something like:

14/6/1 - Bosh
17/4/4 - Wade
31/10/5

vs

13/8/1 - Ibaka
27/8/8 - Westbrook
40/16/9

[Ball So Harden]

Most sane people know this. OKC fans try to act like Durant doesn't have enough around him to win a championship.

He does get too much criticism in the sense that he got to the Finals and lost to the better team in 2012, then was shorthanded last year with Westbrook down so that is understandable, yet he still gets criticism. He very well could get to the Finals again this year, but it has yet to be determined.

Interesting thread. Good idea. Will read again. The only issue is that Westbrook has been OKC's #1 option over these playoffs, not really the number 2.

[DMAVS41]

Another day...another day in which people try and pretend like Durant doesn't have enough help.

:confusedshrug:

[kshutts1]

I don't think it's really worthy of discussion... OKC Is more talented, but the Heat are much better put together. One is a bunch of talent thrown together, the other is a team.

Meh...the Heat have a flawed roster as well. Their bigs don't rebound worth shit....and so far in the playoffs...neither do their guards.

Wade/Lebron are still redundant offensively and Bosh still disappears for long stretches.


Acting like the Heat are some model of what a "team" is...well, is just silly.

It really is just over at this point. The conversation about Durant needing more or different help is over.

The dude has gotten two of the biggest superstar bailout games in NBA history...and he got them in the two biggest games of the playoffs. They lose game 4 at Memphis or game 5 this series and they are almost for sure done.

Not only that, but Durant has a guy on his team that can manufacture points on his own with ease...and it also an elite rebounder at the guard position and a very good defender (although he makes silly mistakes)...

Ibaka is also so under-rated here. He gives you like 13/8/1 and doesn't need the ball and defends on and off the ball very well.

Honestly....if I had to build a team around Durant...it would be close to the current team...just with better play at the sg position (should have traded for Afflalo or given Lamb more burn all season)

The ideal team for Durant would probably be a version of Conley/Afflalo/Durant/Ibaka/Marc Gasol

Guess what though....you don't get the ideal team in reality.

I've heard people talk about Parker or Rondo in place of WB. That would not work. Parker doesn't defend/rebound nearly well enough to make that work...and Rondo can't score nearly well enough.

There is no other point in the league you'd take over WB on this Thunder team. Perhaps Paul, but honestly not sure...
