    Do you think Koufos is better than McGee?

    I know boob addressed this earlier, but there's a few things that separate McGee from Moses.

    the most glaring thing is talent.

    No. Safer though


    Also Konstantine Demetrios Koufos screams white American born center. Might as well be Bob Smith.


    I believe what I believe, and 99% of you think I am an idiot for it. Let's move on, and you can all start bashing me again when Leonard does anything

    Why do you think Koufos plays more than McGee and they do better with him? Is playing Koufos more bad coaching?

    Who wants to pay McGee $11m/year for the next 3 years?

    I'd take him at the MLE, but his contract is ridiculous. Denver would probably give him away if they could.

    When did I ever say anything about bad coaching? In fact, I have been lobbying for most of the year for Stotts to start Leonard.


    Not sure why Koufos plays more?

    Per 36, Koufos shoots slightly better from the field, rebounds a bit better and doesn't shoot as much

    Per 36 McGee has a better PER, blocks more shots and shoots slightly better from the line

    McGee turns the ball over more while Koufos commits slightly more fouls.

    McGee has a better defensive rating, while Koufos has a much better offensive rating.

    I guess it depends on what you want, and Denver seems to want the better offensive guy in there and someone that doesn't need as many touches.

    Don't get Kostas Koufos; he won't stay with a name like that. Hollywood will make him a star.

    Javale McGee or DeAndre, I wouldn't mind that at all.

    Athletic 7 footers are never bad to have - that aren't inept at defense.
