classic "numbers on a bad team" and "Randolph/SAR" quotes.

The Randolph comparison is the dumbest thing ever.
I don't even want to begin listing what makes Big Al the dominator and Zach the pos cancer.

A Rookie Tim duncan? Was Duncan putting up 20 and 12 as a rookie?

^Yes. (well, 21 and 11.9, but close enough) But Tim also played 4 years of college, so Al is the same age as a rookie Tim Duncan.

I didn't realize what a polished monster Timmy was in his rookie season.
Only time I saw a college Duncan was when I saw the game where he completely killed NBA players when it was TEAM USA vs. College team USA, he was looking like a vet out there.

What does Al have on a rookie Duncan?
-More advanced low post game
-Probably a bit of range (I don't think Duncan added that until a few years, right?)
-Power
What did a rookie Duncan do better than Al?
-Defense, both man and help
-Passing out of double team and passing in general
-Maybe high post, although it's probably pretty even

Actually Tim Duncan was 21 as a rookie. Two full years younger than Al is now.

If we're saying late January of Duncan's rookie season, he was 21 and 9 months. Al is 23 and 0 months, so more like a year and 3 months. But point taken.

Al's got better footwork, but that's about it. Duncan was stronger than Al is now and had a better face up game (he started to add that in college, his bank shot was already getting attention his rookie year).
Al's close to a young Duncan in terms of scoring and rebounding, but behind him in terms of just about everything else. Not a knock on Al, since Duncan's one of the two or three best power forwards in the history of the game.

you guys have a truly special player in big al. if he keeps improving, he will be the kind of guy you can strap a franchise onto the back of -- and there are only 5 or 10 of those guys in the league. props.
