whatchu talkin bout.

Jrue when healthy is a top 10 pg, anderson is a top 15 center. They aren't superstars but great starters.

Did you just call Ryan Anderson a top 15 centre? :biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

Anderson in an ideal rotation wouldn't even fill in as a back up centre.

Super stacked, I'm in a state of shock that this band of all-stars just lost to the Jazz at home :oldlol:

Ryan Anderson was decent last year until he literally broke his neck. He is pretty pedestrian now.

Stupid agenda thread is stupid.

Jesus christ. Great timing on this stupid thread. They don't have Davis and subsequently lose to the Jazz.

:facepalm

Will OP ever be right about anything?

Holiday and Anderson wouldn't start on the Wolves just to make things clear on that.

They're pretty objectively better than Rubio and Thad Young so why not? Just a dedication to the tank?

People should know why I select Rubio over Holiday. With Thad, it's a lot about the defense and his ability to go inside a lot better.

Trey Burke shot 0-10 in that game :roll:

Sadly that's a typical night for him with Evans and Gordon both going off on him at the other end as well.

Jrue Holiday, at his best, is definitely not even close to being top 10 point guard when there's Stephen Curry, Kyle Lowry, Russell Westbrook, Damian Lilliard, Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, Mike Conley, John Wall, Jeff Teague, and Tony Parker. This isn't even talking about arguably better players (when healthy) like Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson, Kemba Walker, Ricky Rubio, George Hill, Isaiah Thomas, and Darren Collison. You are quite uninformed if you think Jrue Holiday is a top 10 point guard at any time this year.

Ryan Anderson plays power forward, not center, doesn't start when Davis/Asik aren't injured and is definitely not a top 15 player at his position, when there's LaMarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Anthony Davis, Zach Randolph, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Greg Monroe, Paul Millsap, Draymond Green, Derrick Favors, Chris Bosh, Serge Ibaka, and even Kenneth Faried. Those are just the ones off the top of my head. It's not that difficult to average 15 points and 5 rebounds on a sub-54 TS%.

Anyways, almost every other star player besides Carmelo Anthony has easily more stacked teams than Davis, considering Eric Gordon and Tyreke Evans are shells of their former selves.

My only issue with this is Tyreke.

He's actually been showing some pretty promising signs.

I haven't seen the rest of his career but he's a walking triple double when he decides to play pass first. I actually prefer him as the primary ball handler over Jrue.

Tyreke Evans can be a top 10-15 shooting guard/small forward (at his peak) but needs the ball in his hands to be effective. I said he's a shell of his former self because he's been less efficient while shooting more than in the last couple years but he has hit career highs in rebounds and assists. While he's only gotten one triple-double this year, he's gotten very close plenty of times.

Tyreke is only a good player if he's your primary ball handler. Problem is if Tyreke is your primary ballhandler, your team isn't going to be any good.

Sort of like Evan Turner.

Give Evans a high enough usage rate and he'll get you 20/5/5 like he did as a rookie, but he's going to be so inefficient in terms of shooting and committing turnovers that your team is really going to suck.

Tyreke absolutely beasting this year. He is efficient too. Most of his points come off driving the lane or the occasional drive fake and pull up. This allows the team to space nicely b/c teams gotta defend the paint all the time with Tyreke and AD especially on Davis, so if the inside shot is not there he kicks it out. Oh yeah and he can play point forward dishen out even more assists. His assists are out of control this year for a sg/sf.
