    ROY > Bayless

    Roy has 3 more years of competitive basketball IQ since he finished college with teammates.

    To OP: A stupid question that doesn't deserve an answer...

    I'll say it again, the ability to hit outside shots opens up Bayless' game and more importantly gives him confidence...he played good...just wish he could show that more consistently....

    and that Batum could.....

    and that Rudy could.....


    etc....

    Right now I think the guard rotation is solidifying very well, and they are showing signs of growing. It is going to take a while folks. While Bayless has problems with his outside shot, I dont see anything so badly broken with it that it cannot be adjusted by practice. I still believe he will end up a lot like Billups. Billups took 5 years to really hit his stride, and started showing signs his 3rd year.

    Rudy has been playing well lately too. He will never be a physical player, but still gets under folks skin with the way he plays.

    He's 4/6 on threes over his last 4 games. Not much of a streak, but it's by far the best four game stretch of three point shooting he's had in his career.

    His teammates were definitely looking for him to take those threes, so maybe they saw something in practice in the couple of days since the last game. *shrug*

    This may very well be the stupidest question you have ever posed which is saying something.

    He does a lot better when he isn't hurrying things. That is what happens with young players. They get in a hurry to get stuff done. Playing time will iron that out, as the more he plays, the more the game will slow down for him.

    That all depends. Martell has one bad ass Elmo impersonation. I doubt Lebron is as good at Elmo as he is!:NOTMARIS:

    Thread title indicates brain rot has seeped into this forum - Roy by a galaxy (or 2).

    That's a great question. Who is better? LeBron or Martell? LeBron certainly has the better stats and PER and intangibles, but Martell is pound for pound the better athlete. LeBron will win more MVPs, sure, but Martell will win more rings.

    even when bayless has a "good" game he ends up with 4 TO's and still can't run the point if he's not scoring.

    KingSpeed sarcastically posts threads just to get under the skin of everyone here.

    He's the spawn of Mixum.
