    Haha, ok so someone, I forget who already, made a comment that Delonte is the worst PG in the NBA or something like that, and Smush is better than him. Well, that couldn't be much further from the truth. Anyways, Delonte is a better shooter, a better penetrator, a better rebounder, a better passer and a better defender. Haha, I don't really think I can break it down much more than that. Delonte shoots a better percent, turns the ball over less, gets more assists (with an even worse offense I might add), and defends better than a lot of point guards in the NBA, and especially better than Parker. Parker averages 2.3 assists and 1.8 turnovers, which is probably the worst ratio in the NBA. Delonte is at 4/1.8 which is WAY better than Parker. D-West is clearly the better player.

    I would have to agree with you but Delonte is only a rookie and he really isn't THAT much better than Smush Parker. Delonte has been pretty consistent as of late but before he was really inconsistent but so is Smush Parker. They can both have their good and bad games but overall West is better because he has all the intangibles which Smush doesn't.

    Yeah I would have to say that Delonte is better is better than Smush. Smush is averaging 2.3 apg and as a point guard that is horrible.

    Smush is maybe at the same level with Delonte in attacking the rim. But I agree with the rest of your points. Smush takes bad shots and is turnover prone and thats we you see Kobe running the point now.

    Evidence Delonte is a better all around player: Didn't need to score much, as other guys were scoring (only took 8 shots, six points), and he racked up 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Impressive. Yeah this one isn't even close.

    I think I'll take West, but they are pretty close.
