MrUnstopable · 08-07-2009, 06:30 PM

By role players I mean players that pretty much have no chance of making the all-star game but services are pretty much irreplaceable by said team..

1. Lamar Odom
2. Tayshaun Prince
3. Mikael Pietrus
4. Shane Battier
5. Luis Scola
6. Udonis Haslem
7. J.R. Smith
8. Derrick Fisher
9. Delonte West
10. James Posey

Honorable Mention: Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, Matt Harpring

Over those 5 players? No

a top 10 current role player list without Trevor Ariza on it is pure fail.

Trevor Ariza on L.A. is a role player.. Trevor Ariza on Houston will be asked to do much more... I debated about putting him in but that was the conclusion I came to...

In his career?? Absolutely. Last season?? Not quite.

Udonis deserves some consideration for any "Best Role Players" list.

Luis Scola and Mikael Pietrsu are better than James Posey?

Is this even a debatable topic?

Bruce Bowen

Posey had an awful, atrocious season. He's not even top 10.
