This. Babbitt does one thing very well at an NBA level- shoot. He is a acceptable rebounder so far. Babbitt's defense is literally some of the worst I have EVER seen. While I like his ability from beyond the arc, I feel he gives back every point he scores -and then some- on the defensive end. He's fine as a 15th man playing 5mpg. I don't think it's "hate" when you point out that a player who has proven to be far below average in his career to this point, has been. He's also too slow to defend the 3 position, and too much of a wuss in the post to handle your typical 4.
Well, in terms of Babbitt's +/- in the summer league for 4 games, you're wrong. NateBishop's temper tantrum pertains to his summer league performance, which actually was pretty good, and he helped his team win games while on the court.
Oh PapaG, I'm not sure why you've taken such a liking to young Luke. Maybe you shared a drink with him in your imaginary world where he went off for 50+ points the next night, or maybe he is best friends with your cousin's neighbor's dog walker, or maybe you just think he reminds you of a young PapaG... I don't know what it is, but the guy is absolutely horrid and I find it laughable that people like you think he has an "exceptional NBA skill". Ibekwe might not have an exceptional skill, but he does a number of things decently.... and he hustles. Depending on whether Freeland is injured or not, we might need some more help in the front court.
Lesson. Learned. Just put the word "all-star" anywhere in a post and people on this forum will ignore the entire post not to mention the entire point and respond to the the word. (Barton) Obama is a lying SOB and F--- Romney too. What's this political crap doing in the middle of my post? It doesn't matter, you're about to forget it and respond with "What the hell do you mean 'all-star'"
I know really. This fanbase falls in love with every scrub on the roster down to the last man. Craig Smith, Juwan Howard, Patty Mills.... and many others could do no wrong in many Blazer fans eyes and they were certified scrubs.
