    Seriously? lol

    I like Barton and I think the guy has potential, but come on.... you think he's ready to contribute next season?

    What are you even talking about? The only comparison to Roy that I made was that he didn't play much defense. That's it. I didn't compare his offensive game to Lamb at all.

    My point was that most shooting guards are not what I would consider stellar defenders, and I only threw out Roy because that's someone that most of us would understand pretty well. So to say that Lamb is a good scorer, but he sucks on defense is pretty much the stereotypical shooting guard in the NBA.

    If you think Motiejuna won't contribute next season, or Terrence Jones, or Royce White, I think you'll be surprised. Motiejuna especially looks like the real deal. That guy has some serious moves. He made Meyers Leonard look like a YMCA scrub with some of those pump fakes.

    There's a bigger difference between Roy and Lamb than just both sucking at defense and being good scorers. There's so much more in Roy's offensive arsenal that Lamb could dream about.

    Lamb really showed some nice athleticism on those dunks

    Guy is going to be really good.

    It's like arguing with a wall. :sigh:

    This is all I said about Roy.

    and

    I have no idea why you keep comparing them offensively.

    Everything I've heard regarding Freeland recently says his game is better suited to C than PF in the NBA.

    You said you think it's funny when people say "well he can score... but that's it." Then you said you could say that about most shooting guards in the NBA and brought up Brandon Roy. If someone said "well he can score... but that's it" about Roy, that person would be an idiot.

    Thank you. I didn't think it was some kind of riddle.

    No... I said, "brandon Roy didn't do much on defense either." How do you take that statement and equate it to "he can score... but that's it."

    Lamb reminded me a bit of Kevin Martin in his Sactown days. Pretty fast, slight build and will shoot it 90% of the time you pass it to him.

    You said I brought up brandon Roy and all I said was that he didn't play much defense. You're making it out like I said Roy was just a scorer. I don't understand how you and zags misread that so horribly. Its like.... holy shit.... throw out roys name and people immediately see red.
