    I was just remembering all the threads on that subject two seasons ago. Webster or Outlaw?

    Who knew the answer was Luke Babbitt?

    I thnk Travis will get his wish this year as a "take it when you can" Gunner, but I don't know that it'll be long at the SF position. He should do well.

    I think Martell will struggle at first b/c the team sucks and he'll be running Rambis' version of the Triangle, which takes a bit of getting used to even when you have Phil, MJ and K*be helping you learn it. With Jonny Flynn and Darko and K-Love? Good Luck, Webster.

    I'd feel a lot better about our lineup post-CP3 trade if we had both Webster and Matthews vice Matthews and Babbitt...but maybe the kid will show me something

    Is the question "Which small forward will play limited minutes because they are not an NBA quality player"?

    That's the only question that all the answer between those three would be Luke Babbitt.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The answer was "Batum has made this moot."

    Some of us saw that coming.

    Yep, it all seems kind of silly now. Arguing over which guy is better when in reality neither one was any good. But man, those threads sure did cement my Martell fandom. I will follow that guy forever. Even when he gets shit out the bottom of the Philipino league.

    Neither.

    Martell never took that next step. I saw NO improvement from him since his soph year. He tries hard and is a decent spot-up shooter but I don't see much upside to him.
