Here's a question. Clyde racked up his points during his 11 years with the Blazers. How many years has Dame been a Blazer? I think Dame has scored more points per year than Clyde did.
Additional 3 point shooting and the fact that the team relied much heavier on Lillard might have had some effect on this? Not taking anything away from Dame. Just different game?
I like them both also. Comparing them is probably pointless as you say but it is going to happen. Bottom line I still feel if I have to choose a player in their prime I am choosing Drexler.
exactly in Clyde's first six seasons he led Portland to exactly 1 win outside of the first round. Portland's playoff record with Clyde, but without Buck was 9-20 Clyde had one big advantage over Dame: he wasn't saddled with an idiot GM for a decade
Dame has to get some extra credit for hauling that 2019 squad to the WCF. I mean, Meyers Leonard as starting center???
Clyde played 867 games for Portland. Dame has played 730. So Dame broke the record while playing 137 games less
Yes.....due to the current game being much more 3-point oriented. Dame dwarfs Clyde in '3's, but Clyde actually still has more FGs made. Different game. 3-pt shooting had just barely started when Clyde came into the league, so not even a thing growing up, in high school, or maybe even early in college. Dame grew up with his and is maybe the #2 long distance shooter in NBA history. Incredible range!
This is correct. Just saw Dame in the lobby with a huge smile on his face surrounded by family. On to the next one.
Thats just it...he had better results because of the accumulation of talent surrounding him. This is why I don't use championships won as a way to measure a players greatness.
Some of the major players each player has had to play with. Seems like Drexler did more with less. Late 1st round pick Porter 2nd round pick Kersey 2nd Round pick Robinson 2nd round pick Duckworth #3 pick pick Williams #2 pick Aldridge Lottery pick CJ Lottery pick Leonard Mid 1st round pick Nurkic Lottery pick Aminu Mid 1st round pick Lopez
There are a few on here who you can tell don't really think before pounding on your keyboard.... you sir/maam are one of them.
Oh you’re using draft position to show a players value? I would use their production on the court to judge them.
