    Louis Williams?

    That has a question mark because he's starting to get attention. Great call on John Salmons btw

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vcTmac24 @ Jan 4 2008, 01:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>good point, but Brandon Roy is the one not even top 10 in the all-star Ballot Cpawfan. and Jason Kidd is having one of his best seasons yet, where's his credit?

    Please read all of it before posting. Thanks</div>

    It is a very simple concept. The logic you are using is poor and contradictory. I am deconstructing your argument point by point. You can't selectively apply conditions to one player and not another.

    So again, this is simple. If you are going to use the All Star voting results as your case for Brandon Roy then you have no case for Jason Kidd. On the other hand, if you are going to state the All Star voting results aren't representative of a player being on the radar, then you need a new case for why Roy is off the radar.

    It can't be both. Pick one so that this discussion can continue.

    How about Jamaal Tinsley? Or Roy's teammates, Travis Outlaw, James Jones, and Jarret Jack.

    Would Marcus Camby be under the radar? I'm not sure about Camby. That's a maybe there, because he does get some recognition.

    tinsley i would agree had been under the radar for many years. another player i think is under the radar is Caron Butler. He seems to be the new leader of the Wizards since Arenas has been out with the knee injury.

    Camby won DPOY last season. He isn't under the radar

    Tinsley is awful, I don't know how you can call him under the radar.

    If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

    If someone gets completely owned but cannot understand how badly it is, does the ownage lose meaning?

    Oh yeah, I completely forgot. I guess I wasn't thinking straight.
