OT: Targus's "Rate a Poster" Thread

[Targus]

I'm bored and I have some free time to do something meaningless but anyway, i'll be rating posters here at ISH. I do a lot more reading here than posting, so Just tell me if u want to be rated, but if you're not tolerant to criticism then I suggest click Back. I'll only be rating people that I have read enough posts from and are familiar with or know about. :cheers:

I'll do as much as i can before i head to bed, and i'll do some more tomorrow if i can.

[AtTheDriveIn]

Rate me! :D

[ElPigto]

Why not?

[hotsizzle]

sure why not. lets hear it

[Targus]

Rate me! :D

Well, you're relatively new but i've read some posts of yours. You're honestly pretty knowledgable about the game, and it reflects in your posts. I've never had to argue with something you've said because either you make a valid point or i completely agree. But the thing I like is that you don't try to start riots that end threads, but instead contributing to it. just keep posting.

[KIWI]

yep me to:cheers:

[20 Dimes A Game]

Rate me.

[Kobe24]

Go ahead.

[ElPigto]

Come to think of it, my review is going to suck. I haven't had the time to contribute as much as I would want to.

[Lebron23]

Rate me :D

Rate me I guess, what can it hurt?:confusedshrug:

[Targus]

ElPigto- well you're one of those guys like me i think that read more here than they post, but the times that you have made an appearance i'd say was ok. You just stick to the topic and try not to annoy anybody, I guess that can be sort of a bad thing at times because you can go unnoticed. Honestly though, I havent read a lot of your posts so it's hard for me to be specific.

HotSizzle- Probably one of ISH's most valuable posters that we have, i like reading your posts. Unlike other posters, I'll rarely read a post by you that isn't supported by analysis or stats. Also, You don't let your view on other teams that maybe you don't like get in the way of your opinions and predictions. You can be hostile to criticism by other posters but you don't go crazy or anything you just prove your case. You're also up there among the best in finishing flame wars, and that's why I think mature posters are the best kind of posters.

KIWI: I'm pretty positive i know you under another name, you're one of those posters that isn't too serious and likes to share your views on just about any topic. The thing i like best about you is that you're respectable and aren't cocky about your team being among the best. Some posters for example think that just because their team is one of the best they can just insult other fans. Talking with you about the Kings and spurs was fun because i could always come up with an argument without you losing your cool, even if it may have made me look like i was off my rocker.

[elementally morale]

Feel free to do so, albeit I doubt it is going to change anything about the way I post. :D

[Darsh]

rate me, like you've never rated before.

20 dimes a game: Not gonna lie, bro, I haven't read enough of posts from you to analyze what kind of a poster you are. the good thing about that is that u haven't done anything delustional to MAKE me recognize you as much, just keep posting.

Kobe24: Well lol, you might be shadowed in Laker land here at ISH by your fellow mates like Sizzle and LakersDynasty but just as valuable to the board. Sometimes you get in over your head but it's all for the better to spice up a thread. but I like how you don't back down when somebody talks trash about your team. Lately, people have been talking about Kwame Brown, Walton, etc. but after i read the entire thread you make me give the topic a second thought with your very solid arguments. And honestly you might be the best Kobe defender here, and not just because of your caption, but I think everybody knows when they say something about Kobe, they're hesitant and going to be hearing it from you. As for criticism, not much at all, maybe just accept that Kobe fails at some things at times and he isn't perfect, be it as close as he is.

BradMiller52: One of the team forums' best mods for sure. I rarely see you onvolved in any flame wars which is a good thing, except for one a while back in the offseason. But I like reading your posts because you're one of the board's most knowledgable posters, you know the game and you know the players. Not once have i read a post from you and thought...is he crazy? A lot of your work is done down in the Kings forum so i know you more than others do, just keep your doing your thing.

[Targus]

nah seriously dude im not under any other name i used to be KIWI BOY but got the BOY removed:confusedshrug:

as far as your feedback thanks for that bro i think your a very good poster as well a very passionate kings supporter you and Bradmiller52 are the only kings posters i respect:cheers:

thanks, ah yeah i was just about to say KIWI BOY but i wasnt completely sure :)

btw why was the boy removed anyway?

Lol, I know I haven't posted enough for you to know anything about me, but go ahead, rate me!

[elementally morale]

I'll do one-liners (ok, not really but few-liners if that makes any sense) about posters I've seen enough to have an opinion on.

BradMiller52: Matured a lot in the last 2 years. It's palpable. Sometimes expresses unwarranted hate for the Lakers but it1s understandable. Shows less and less homerism and is evolving as a better poster each day.

Liberalo: Shows great passion for the game. Sometimes it's hard for him to acknowledge others, especially when they have a different take. Some more tolerance would be great, but he is getting better at it. Shows real interest for the game and has some unique observations. Creates too many threads for my taste, and post just about everything, even on things he doesn't really have the knowledge about. All in all good poster, but sometimes less would be more.

KIWI: Nice guy, but I really haven't read too many things coming from him that I didn't read already coming from someone else.

hotsizzle: Overall good poster. Has the 'realistic Kobe-fan syndrome', wants to be PC when it comes to Bryant so that he won't be labeled as a grouupiie. Should make less 'I know Kobe or the Lakers are this and that BUT....' type of answers. Just say it as you really feel. You don't have to be defensive. That's all.

ElPigto: Smart, laid-back poster. Almost never gets overboard. Doesn't say much, but usually is on the money.

That's all for now.

I'm afraid I can't. I haven't read enough coming from you, or maybe I just don't remember. If it's the latter, it's good and bad at the same time... But I'm leaning towards not having read enough coming from you.

BTW, are you guys aware of the fact that when you have an opinion on someone else, it says just as much about you as it says about that other person? Keep this in mind. An opinion says plenty about the filter you use when taking a look at the world, and that filter is you.

[Liberalo]

I"ll rate some posters I'm familiar with myself

Elementally morale - Nothing wrong with him. A good poster. The difference between me and him however is evident.
He calls me passionate while I see him as calm, laid back type. I've never seen him get in wars with people or something.
His knowledge of the game is pretty good, too but doesn't post consistently so it's hard to judge. Has been on these boards for a long time but always posts like 2 days or so and then he's gone for a month.
Anyway, knows what he's talking about and is just too calm, patient and all and that makes him good at analyzing many things.

Hotsizzle - Ditto for the "realistic Kobe fan syndrome" That's how Sizzle tried to be at first and indeed, he was one of a few Laker fans to have a good rep around here.
Overall, we usually agree on most things which means he's very knowledgable, makes great arguments at times.
He is also a nice guy, never fights with people, always tolerant and all that.
Nothing but good about him.
Great head on his shoulders too. Probably one of the least biased people here.


Kobe24 - Has a very bad rep that he didn't quite deserve. Doesn't he still have a tag that he's obsessed with defending Kobe or something like that?
That is all but true about him. He's a Kobe fan but will bash Kobe when he feels Kobe deserves to be bashed.
So basically, I feel he has a bad rep because of his username and the fact that he's a Laker fan but that's more of a thing from the past, on old board it was like if you were a Kobe/Lakers fan, they'd think of you as an intrudor or something.
Good poster.

Whoever posts in this thread and I'm familiar with that person, he will get rated by me, no one will get a pass. :rockon:

As for those rating me, this isn't my primary username. It's Soccer10.

I know what you mean. You wont believe how many times though something that is said about Bryant is misinterpreted and the wars start...actually you probably do know what I mean. I try to make sure I get my point across clearly by making sure I eliminate what I don't mean.

Age makes a difference. I know I say it too many times but it really does. When I was your age, I was WAAAAAAAAAY worse and way more passionate than you are now. As for my posting habits, I used to post every day several years ago. Before your time. I had more than 15 thousand posts here at ISH over the years. There were times when guys (posters) wanted and voted me to be a moderator of the main board... Nowadays I take it easy when it comes to posting. I read a lot though.

[Liberalo]

Okay but you asked for it and no it won't be funny, I"ll be serious.

20 Dimes A Game - You're still a project. You're 13 years old and by no means ready to participate in some arguments here because you still have no feel for a lot of things about basketball and you simply can't be so knowledgable at your age.
That's why I really don't pay attention to your posts much. You're a project.
You seem as a nice kid but that's all I can say..
Keep reading the site, keep watching NBA and you"ll get good but at 13, I don't think you're ready to enter some topics here as many things are far too complexed for a young guy like yourself.

I remember when me and my friends argued when we were that old and main arguments were stats. How can a player A be be better than a player B if player B gets 3 more points and 1 more rebound.

That's how I feel about you right now. You aren't ready to really make some judgements but just keep reading, you"ll get better.

His knowledge of the game is pretty good, too but doesn't post consistently so it's hard to judge.

I'll be my own judge then. No, my factual knowledge of the NBA game is nothing much to write home about. There are plenty of guys around here who know the NBA game more than I do, and even more posters who know today's players, stats and intangibles more than I do.

That's the reason I usually don't analyze 'pure basketball'. GoBB, kBlaze, GeeWiz, psileas, Loki, Shogon and Liberalo blow me away in that regard. I don't want to humiliate myself getting into a factual discussion with them (you). However, I have a different view on basketball.

The reason for this is that I don't watch basketball for the sport. Actually, I almost don't care for the sport any more. It's a hobby. I watch and read all this because this is a very interesting view on American and international culture, society and people in general. I watch it for the 'big picture'. For the stories that evolve over the years, like the Kobe-saga or the 'Garnett-situation'. That's what I like about watching and reading about it almost every day.

As for the everyday facts and Xs and Os in a given game I'm close to useless. When it comes to analyzing players and situations over the years... that's a different story.

Ok, i have taken that in, and it was not as bad as i thought it would be.
But, i understand your point but alot of what i say will sound different to you but that is partly due to the reasons you stated and mostly due to the points i make are from the view of an English baller, and the game is very different over here.And i will continue to post and i will have a ton of posts by the time i am old enought to contibute to conversation.

Says the guy who refuses to grow up despite being in his mid-20s.

What is exactally is "growing up" and why should I do it? Having a bit of a laugh is a great asset, guess that's why I've got heaps of friends. I'm not big on stupid things like having a stable job, being all serious, looking to the future. Think old and you are old.

And mid-20's is still young my friend. If I was in my 40's and being a moron that would be questionable, but still my choice.


Having a discussion about improving yourself is never gay.

Yes it is when the posters are saying crap that isn't neccesarily true.
Poster 1: "Poster 2 is soo cool. He enters discussions and has unlimited basketball knowledge.
Poster 2: "Thanks mang, I love you!"
Poster 1: "No, I love you!"

What gives somebody the right to tel lsomeone they are too young to post replies to a certain thread?

You shouldn't. As for me you can act like an 8 year old 'til you are 68. But I wasn't talking about 'be an integral part of society' type of growing up. I was talking about 'try not to be a total assshole resembling of someone still in kindergarten' type of growing up. But you are right, it is still your choice.

However, I won't be answering your next reply in case there will be one, because I have a tendency to talk to people whom I feel it is worth talking to. Kids are nice, but arrogant kids are not that nice.

If I want an 8-yeard-old, I have my own daughter.

I will rate Nowitzki41MFFL/Howard5Dirk41

June 2006-February 2007: One of the worst posters on this board, had no job and lots of free time, created alot of made up crap, tried on purpose to be annoying, over the top homer guy.

February 2007-Present: Much improved, not alot of free time, sees Avery is overrated as a coach, sees Dirk Nowitzki as a good player but is not a player than can say **** IT and take over a game, has played like a wet napkin vs the Warriors.


Overall 5/10 but improving.

Beckham was a good midfielder like... I dunno. Like 8 years ago. He has a great freekick. And great marketing. Furthermore, according to the face-recognition-software, I look 64% like him. :oldlol: Here is some proof.

I'm not fond of him as a player though, either.

As for you, my only problem with you as that you don't post often enough any more, and when you do, you are mainly talking only to sakF and Qwuijbo and not really to anyone else. Not that I don't understand it...

Beckham has tremendous knowledge of the game and his skill is unbelievable. Those are his two strong points.

Thank you very much for the compliment, you are too kind.

I admit I haven't been posting as much lately. Something inside me has recently become a bit fed-up with all the petty bickering and irrational hate that gets so frequently seen on ISH. I still read the threads, but often I just find myself sitting back and shaking my head rather than throwing my 2 cents on top of a pile of change that has become so rusty and corroded that it hardly has any value any more.

I never liked Ronaldo and he got way too fat way too early. Romario baby. He was something.

I was so happy when we got rid of tmacman yesterday. I reported him once, and Jeff didn't do anything. Then I just went off on Jeff on one of his threads about unregistered people, and he finally banned him.

I think it's good for the community to constantly let each other know what we think of each other. I certainly don't think it's form of asskissing besides a couple of idiots here and there, but overall these threads are pretty cool.

[elementally morale]

oh my god.

these threads make me sick. nothing but asskissing.

There is other than assskissing here if you read carefully. But OK, here you go.

You are obviously intelligent and matured a lot sooner than your age. It did you many good and many bad things.

Speaking of the bad, you acquired the 'Shogon-syndrome' along the way. Young guys with that syndrome have a tendency to think that because they are more knowledgable than their contemporaries and their environment, they are also the sh!t, and noone knows anything better than them. Your worst period was 1-2 years ago, and now you are starting to heal. It's a long process though. I know, because I also had the Shogon-syndrome when I was a teenager.

Sometimes you want to argue things with intelligence that cannot be argued using intelligence. Experience is a nice example. Knowing the facts is another. You are smart, but you let your smarts convince you that because of it you also always know better. Sometimes you're right, at other times not really.

You also are not very good at admitting that guys inferior to you in the IQ-department may add valuable thoughts to a discussion, too. Pretty often the most interesting arguments come from guys who are not the smartest. Sometime down the road you'll have to incorporate others' thoughts and suggestions into your train of thought.

You are very talented, but talent alone can only take you this much. You've got to learn how to use your skills properly. Once you do, sky is the limit. Until then, you shoot yourself out of the game.

I would just appreciated if he didn't talk out of his a** so often. It's annoying when he voices his opinion on a player or team he doesn't know.

That's what I was referring to when saying GeeWiz thinks he can win over facts with intelligence. This is also the reason why the world fails to admit he is a genius, as he often comes accross as being cocky. I think neither him or Shogon are really cocky, but both of them are a bit frustrated, because they haven't yet learned how to communicate at a level their existing intelligence puts them on. Therefore the world is rude to them when not agreeing with them, all the while they are obviously intelligent. And so on. It's a vicious cycle.

Feedbacks are nice.

Jailblazers 7 is a potential solid pro in the mold of George Lynch, a slow three or undersized four who can give quality minutes in the right system. JBSev has a decent motor, is very coachable, and displays a high basketball IQ.
strengths:
decent range on his jump shot, good first step, nice up and under, good hands, finishes around the hoop, tough on the ball defender and a good feel for the game.
weaknesses:
tweener slow footed 3, undersized 4, not a lot of athleticism, short arms.

Hey ill take George Lynch i loved him back in his Sixers days and he was a beast at UNC.

[geeWiz15]

I appreciate the condescending essay elementally. perhaps you can later adopt me and be my father and give me that **** on a daily basis.

do you people honestly think this is the best I can do? I mean really? like, if my personal reputation was actually on the line I would think so little before I type? no becaues its a message board and I'm not interested in "FEEDBACK."


You also are not very good at admitting that guys inferior to you in the IQ-department may add valuable thoughts to a discussion, too. Pretty often the most interesting arguments come from guys who are not the smartest. Sometime down the road you'll have to incorporate others' thoughts and suggestions into your train of thought. It will make you a lot more wise and intelligent.
that said this is really the only part of your expose I really think is actually wrong. when is the last time an average poster has actually made an interesting argument? half of them are made by Kblaze. then there's WigNosy. DeuceWallaces on OT stuff. Kwajo's creativity and sense of humor. Gobb's endless wit. Loki. those are really the only guys I consider "above me." and NOT coincidentally, those guys are responsible for probably 80% of ISH's greatest moments/posts in the last year or so. show me the average poster who makes the great arguments cause I don't see it. I see good discussion from guys on "my level" (there are about 20-30 of them). sometimes I learn things from these guys. but nothing GREAT. nothing that really challenges me. the great moments come from great posters.

average posters make average posts. the kind of posts that outline facts in a response, I read, go "yep" and move on. sometimes it contains something I didn't know but not often. usually they're valuable for their perspective whatever it might be.

the guys I incorporate into my train of thought are the guys I mentioned above and there's no conicidence that they're the smartest people here.

That sh!t was ****in awesome. :oldlol:

Not that I'm too much into this type of a thing but which NBA player am I? What are my strengths and weaknesses?

Haha, this was awesome, we should all compare ourselves to NBA players like Izzo did. Haha.

[elementally morale]

You never know who the smartest guy here really is. There are people who are not native speakers for instance... :D

On a more serious note, I think the most intelligent poster this board has seen IQ-wise was AlJeffersonRules. And he was a bad poster. Takes noithing away from his IQ.

If you take a close look at your selections BTW, you'll see you listed the OLD giys. kBlaze is like 34, GoBB 35, Loki 28-29, WigNosy over 30... (Before you ask: I'm turning 33 this year, LOL) It's no coincidence. You may add rezznor or Laker Logic to the list. Even Know Itawl.

When I was mentioning the 'average' Joe making interesting observations, I relied on the experience that we all often find that interesting observations are coming from people who see the world differently. And since you are not average, chances are that less intelligent guys will see things differently.

As for smart posters, there are many here, who are not posting that often any more. adamcz, sakF, funkylikemonkey... the list goes on and on. Don't be fooled by the guys talking the most being the most intelligent.

Liberalo is a multi-tool player with a high ceiling and great potential in the mold of a Stephen Jackson. Liberalo plays with a great deal of passion, but this passion can also be his undoing with untimely fouls and a propencity for not acting in his or his team's best interests. A focused Liberalo can give you all star like minutes, but more often than not behavioral issues land him in hot water both internally and with the league.

strengths:
athletic, quick, good motor, nice shooting touch, good feel for the game and a good finisher.

Weaknesses:
occasional erratic play, not very coachable, some off court issues.

[statman32]

rate me...
Who??

Rate me!

[JtotheIzzo]

rate me...

Coming off a stellar four year college career DLeagueWannabe will look to be a late second round pick or sign on with a team as a free agent. With a good showing in Orlando and a solid training camp DLW can hook on with a team but can almost certainly expect a stint in the 'D'. With a consistent jumpshot and ability to run a team DLW reminds scouts of a slighter Jerry MacNamara. To stick with an NBA squad DLW will have to show he can defend elite players (something he struggled with in college).

Strengths:
shooting, passing, basketball IQ, and intensity

Weaknesses:
athleticism, foot work, defense and speed

[ElPigto]

GO ahead and rate me Izzo, I'm interested in these players comparisons.

[Liberalo]

Damn Izzo, you just exposed your gift, everyone will be asking for it now :oldlol:

Sincerely, http://thefeed.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/stephen_jackson.jpg

[JtotheIzzo]

Who??

Rate me!

Pro comparisons:
Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, PJ Brown

A solid four with great strength statman32 will in all likelihood have a long NBA career as a starting four. With his ability to play with his back to the basket, statman could be used as a five in an uptempo system. With range out to twenty feet and soft hands statman can become an instant contributor on the offensive end and his ability to block shots makes him a defensive presence. All Star appearances are more than likely during prime years.

strengths;
Interior defense, post play, midrange shooting, hands

weaknesses:
often in foul trouble, doesn't always see the court well or read the double team

[loot]

Looking forward to see who will be compared to Arenas :roll: and mine.

[elementally morale]

Who??

Rate me!

You remind me of a mixture of Carmelo Anthony and Stephon Marbury. You are the self-proclaimed best. Some nights you can score with the best of them, at others you are a thug who keeps dribbling and freezes out his teammates. Confidence is a great thing, but overconfidence keeps you from achieving greater things. You often don't recognize the team, and tend to put yourself on a pedestal that you are not really on.

Strength: power, scoring ability, talent

Weakness: on the court IQ, selfishness, lack of a team concept

Overall: a few months in the D-League would do you good.

[elementally morale]

Looking forward to see who will be compared to Arenas :roll: and mine.

AK47

Great overall talent, can fill up the box score but has been absent the last 18 months or so. On the court IQ is your best strength and you can defend with the best of them. Relying on fundamentals, not necessarily a highlight reel, rather the glue that keeps the team going.

[statman32]

Thanks JtotheIzzo and Elementally Morale. I must say that a mix of Carmelo Anythony and Stephon Marbury would spontaneously combust. That worries me a little. :)

Ill do you.

Jason Kidd

A great player that has lost a step with age but is still tops in the league. You have a great feel for the game, a high basketball IQ, and an above average defender. Your jumper is suspect at times but you are very craft at getting into the lane and setting up teammatses.

Strengths: Intelligence, position defense, vision, rebounding, and leadership

Weakness: Durability, shooting, and diminishing athleticism

[geeWiz15]

On a more serious note, I think the most intelligent poster this board has seen IQ-wise was AlJeffersonRules.
why?

wade money, vapid, wang4three, AppleNader, joewait, adamcz, bigboi baller I believe are all brilliant people. doesn't mean they're all brilliant posters though. especially joewait. oh god.

OK, we disagree. It's not that what I speak is the truth. It's an opinion. You can use it or you may not. If you don't find it useful at all, forget it. It's only the Internet, I don't think I know you better than you know yourself.

Anyway, I said it and I repeat one last time: I can see you becoming a better poster each day. You are less harsh but your posts are just better. Not as spectacular as they were, but contain more substance.

Pro Comparisons:

Shane Battier, Bill Bradley

Entering ISH in its infancy after a stellar career at Villanova where he was a four year academic all american and team captain, Hateraid has had an impact on the league since day one. With consistent play and leadership Hateraid has throughout his career been a stabilizing force both on the court and in the locker room. Often looked at as a modern day Bill Bradley, H-aid's leadership and heady play has earned him numerous accolades and the respect of his peers. A four time all NBA defensive player and a five time all star, H-Boom has the rare ability to step up when needed or defer to teammates. An integral part of two championship squads, Hateraid will again this year be looked on to provide scoring and lockdown defense.

Strengths:

leadership, passing, defense, shooting range

Weaknesses:

defers too often to teammates, avoids contact

Warriors23 & Brantonli: I've read few posts from you but most of them were short so it's hard to say anything.

hateraid: Youre up there among the more popular posters and the thing i like about you is that you can be really serious but also keep things in check without going too far. In a lot of your posts, there's a sense of humor. Again, rather than just giving a short and precise answer to any thread, you'll back it up with analysis.

Ronron15: You're the exact opposite of a postwhore, I see you posting down at the Kings forum sometimes. You don't really stand out or anything you just stick to what you want to say and that's it so you can sometimes go unnoticed. I wish everybody could be like that but some people just can't resist bringing up delusional opinions.

qwerty: Another one of those posters who comes here for the real talk without the drama. I've rarely seen you in any battles with other posters so you pretty much get along with most of the people here. I don't always agree with you but I know i can argue my case without you getting annoyed or anything.

Lovethetriangle: In a good way, Lakers fans are in a class of their own, it seems like they're most defensive not only about their team but just about everything that's posted here. You make topics go at least a page longer even if your ideas might be delusional in somebody else's eyes. Not a big 20+ posts per day poster at all but you still make a contribution to the board.

Pro Comparison:

matt harpring

A student of the game and a self made player, Air Seth has the ability to shine during stretches of the game but also has been known to fade and hide from the ball during more physical games. A solid jump shooter who can post up smaller defenders AS will get you fifteen a night a s a third option. To get to the next level Air S is going to have to improve his footwork and stay off the IR (he averages 65 games a season).

Strengths:

moving without the ball, spot up shooting, passing, team play

Weaknesses:

defensive positioning, foot work, foot speed

[Targus]

Glove_20: I'll be honest, I don't like you. You're up there among the biggest trolls ISH has to offer, going around through the team forums just being a total jackass. It's all good though, because what's a forum without a little bit of fighting? We've had our battles down in the Kings forum, too. I have to admit, you're not afraid to make some wild predictions and take on the heat from other posters.

Cool: Honestly sometimes you're full of yourself and you think you're always right, self-centered maybe. But still I get an occassional laugh out of your threads, amazingly i find myself agreeing with you most of the time on certain subjects you just say it in your own way.

LakersDynasty: Most knowledgable Lakers fan along with Hotsizzle imo, seriously you're one of the reasons i rarely bash Kobe on this board because I know if i go into an arguement with you I'm going to lose lol. Even when your team is down, I see you still here posting and keeping your hopes up. Not afraid to rip on other posters either, even tho it goes a little far sometimes imo, i noticed. after all, what would ISH be without laker fans?

[AIR SETH]

Pro Comparison:

matt harpring

A student of the game and a self made player, Air Seth has the ability to shine during stretches of the game but also has been known to fade and hide from the ball during more physical games. A solid jump shooter who can post up smaller defenders AS will get you fifteen a night a s a third option. To get to the next level Air S is going to have to improve his footwork and stay off the IR (he averages 65 games a season).

Strengths:

moving without the ball, spot up shooting, passing, team play

Weaknesses:

defensive positioning, foot work, foot speed

That is amazingly accurate. I prefer the solid and straight to the point talk and fun but when a flame war starts I disappear. My problem is I don't like to put people down.

Pro Comparison:

Rick Fox

A heady team player with an abundance of tools, B-Low should be a borderline all star in his prime years. With range out to twenty five feet and a quick first step B-Low can score without plays being drawn up for him. On the defensive end B-Low often draws the toughest assignment and is not one to complain. Focus is an issue with B-Low however as rumors of love affairs gone array and other off courst interests, mainly acting and promoting his rap CD have disrupted his individual and team focus and some teammates in private gripe about his commitment.

Strengths:

five tool offensive threat, good on the ball defense, a willingness to buy into the team concept (ont he court at least).

Weaknesses:

focus, desire, durability

Pro Comparison

Bruce Bowen

Kiwi took the hard road to the league with a few stints overseas but with his ability to knock down open shots and play lockdown defense Kiwi improved to the point where he earned himself an invite to the ISH national team camp. Recognized as one of the best defenders in the game Kiwi has become an integral part of his squad and a regular on the all defensive team. It hasn't been all sunshine for the vitamin C packed baller though as his distractors have accused him of taking too many cheap shots, and being a 'dangerous' player. Is he is just getting in their head or he is taking liberties with their safety? This answer will make itself clear in time(a recent banning by commisioner jeff doesn't bode well), but in the meantime Kiwi will continue to contribute to a championship caliber team.

Strengths:

work ethic, defense, offense away from the ball, three point shooting

Weaknesses:

Ball handling, image

Pro Comparison:

Shawn Marion

Often overlooked due to the throngs of lakers fans with laker usernames on this board LakerDynasty has consistently contributed quality everytime he has stepped onto the floor. A great hustler with surprising range, LD can score in bunches while also possessing the defensive acumen to draw the toughest match up night in and night out. A consistent producer and a gazelle in the open floor, Lake Dy will almost undoubtedly be a perennial all star in an up tempo system. Fundamentals are an issue for LD however as he has often been able to hide this weakness behind his superior athleticism, but with his good work ethic and commitment to the game he will continue to improve on these.

strengths:

athleticism, defense, filling the lanes, finishing, rebounding

weaknesses:

ball handling, creating shots, disappears for phases of the game

Pro Comparison:

Antoine Walker

With the ability to fill up a stat sheet in a short time, poorlilrich approaches the game with a great zest and zeal. Like few other players, PLR can make himself the focal point of the attack and dominate the ball. This approach has with it it's own pros and cons as lil-R has fallen out of favor with a few clubs and fans when fortunes turn sour. There is no doubt of the offensive explosiveness in PLR's game but candidly coaches and management rue his shot selection and radio hosts frequently target him (often unfairly) for loses, due mainly to his career 41% fg pct. Last season however was PLR's best as a pro so some GMs will be more than willing to take a chance on him for the MLE when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Strengths:

shooting range, offensive rebounding, creatitvity, intensity

Weaknesses:

shot selection, team play, defense

-I'll project you in rookie format Loot (no idea why, just kind of fits IMO)

Pro Comparison:

Dirk Nowitzki, Andrea Barngnani

Another seven foot European with range, Loot will look to cash in on some serious NBA loot after this upcoming draft where he is slated to go very early in the lottery and depending on the status of Greg Oden and Kevin Durant perhaps as high as number one. What separate's Loot from other continental big men is his desire to mix it up and demand the ball in clutch situations (9 game winners in two seasons with Maccabi Tel Aviv). With nice back to the basket skills and three point range Loot could be a perennial all star in the NBA. Footwork and lateral movement on defense have concerned some scouts, but Loot's size and 7'6" wingspan makes up for a lot of defensive deficiencies.

Strengths:

polished offensive game (both inside and out), size, intensity, desire

Weaknesses:

perimeter defense, foot speed

Pro Comparison:

Andrew Bogut

After leading division two in rebounding as a senior and cementing his reputation in the Portsmouth Invitational, where he beat up on division one talent from much more heralded schools, Swords Dragons became the 45th selection of the 2002 draft. Since entering the league he has proven to be a more-than-serviceable big man with 86 double doubles and a knack for mixing it up inside(37 career flagrant fouls and two suspensions). Never one to back down from a challenge, S-D is frequently called upon to defend some of the league's best bigs. Known for his rugged style of play, Swordy has made himself into a solid professional and developed a nice post game.

Strengths:

Post defense, rebounding, interior scoring

Weaknesses:

shooting, temper, passing

You're the Dennis Rodman of ISH. You're tenacious and never give up on lost causes, you're known to argue your mouth off.
Despite the fact that you almost never score any points whatsoever, you tend to give most opponents serious headaches.

Pro Comparison:

Derek Fisher

A rugged on the ball defender and natural leader on the floor, lovethetriangle is a very coachable PG who can fit into almost any system no matter how structured. Honorable mention All American in college running a highly complex scheme at Manila State, LTT transitioned seamlessly into the pro game making second team all rookie and representing the sophomores at all star weekend in year two. Despite his high basketball IQ scouts have some concerns about his shot selection in late game situation, and LoveTT has had very well documented battles with weight issues throughout his career making some teams worry about potential injuries as he ages.

Strengths:

Leadership, BB IQ, passing, midrange jumper, pull up jumper

Weaknesses:

Fitness, speed, clutch play

Pro Comparison:

A student of the game in every sense of the word, Glove_20 spends more time reviewing game film and studying opponents than almost any other player. An aggressive penetrating point guard, G20 is at his best when he is going at his defender and getting into the heart of the defense. Glove's highly emotional on court demeanor has landed both praise and criticism, some coaches admire his keen desire to win while other coaches rue his propensity at collecting technical fouls. Reputed as one of the games loudest 'trash talkers', G20 is self motivator who is at the same time his own greatest inspiration and worst enemy. Glove's ability to maintain an even keel will be crucial to his contribution to the greater good of his team.

Strengths:

intensity, dribble penetration, on the ball defense

Weaknesses:

misguided intensity, shot selection, foul trouble

You're the Jason Williams of ISH. You're bubbling over with creativity, but sometimes people have to simply marvel at the amount of stupidity you come up with. White guy who pretends to be black. Rather good at scoring, but tends to overdo it at times. Predicted to become the next big thing at the point guard spot, you have become more and more conservative and run-of-the-mill as of late. You wear funny T-Shirts and are known to do some weed every now and then.

I bolded the only part I disagree with. I'm a white guy who pretends to be Asian.

Bill Laimbeer

A rugged power player with range out to twenty two feet and a lightning quick mouth, Senor Cedric has been one of the more colorful players in the league for quite sometime. Few players have been as polarizing to the fans as well with opposing fans absolutely despising him while the home team just cant get enough. An integral part of two championship teams Uncle Ceddie knows what it takes to get his team to the next level and isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and get the job done. Wether its knocking down a penetrating wing man or knocking down an open jumper at the top of the key, El Senor is there for his squad first and foremost.

Strengths:

desire, team play, basketball IQ, interior defense

Weaknesses:

temper, foul trouble, injury prone

I don't usually quote whole posts, but this is excellent. I'll take this over Jason Williams.

An athletic two guard with limitless range, Rab has the potential to be an all star for many years. After a stellar 3 year college career 'The Rabbi' declared for the draft and wowed scouts with his on court decision making and superior athleticism. Expected to be taken very early in this year's draft Rab will almost certainly step into a starting spot for a rebuilding team. Some scouts have hinted at deficiencies on the defensive end of the floor, but most coaches and GMs feel they can teach an athlete of Rab's caliber how to become a great defender. As close to a 'cant miss' prospect as anyone in this draft.

A fundamentally sound wing with a calm on court demeanor and solid leadership skills, saKf has been an all star since his sophomore season. A member of the all-inerview team as well as the all NBA team, 'wacky sakky' is a delight both on the court and in the press room. Last year's championship run really showcased saKf's full arsenal of offensive weapons with some teams having no choice but to resort to the 'hack a saKf' defense to try (often with much futility) and expose his poor foul shooting. Scouts and GMs remain perplexed at how a fluid jump shooter could be such a poor free throw shooter.
