Devin Harris 

Post#1 » by Da big3 » Sun Feb 1, 2009 5:31 am

first off congrats to makin the allstar team, ok just an anlysis, is he an impact player? before you answer yes, think about, he has won some games for us, but when u think of the likes of Williams and Paul, they win games, more than DH, not tryin to take anything from harris, yes they may have better teams, but does fall back on Lawerence Frank?...

I don't have to think about it.

Is Harris an impact player? Absolutely.

Is he on the level of Deron Williams or Chris Paul? Not at all.

Is he a top 5 point guard in the league? Probably.

1 Chris Paul
2 Deron Williams
3 Tony Parker
4 Chauncy Billups
5 Devin Harris
6 Steve Nash
7 Andre Miller
8 Jason Kidd
9 Mike Bibby
10 Derrick Rose

I had trouble leaving off Jameer Nelson and Mo Williams and I left off Arenas and Baron due to their constant and current injuries, but this is my top 10.

Devins shot isn't consistent enough ( yet ?) to win games by himself . When his shot IS falling he is able to win games by himself and we saw it earlier this season but that isn't happening that often.

First of all, hi... I'm a Nets fan from Rome, Italy. I hope my english is good enough :oops:

I started following the NBA with Jason Kidd and the team on my avatar (yes, before that I knew MJ and the '92 Dream Team players, but I didn' root for a specific team)... and now I'm one of the... 20, maybe 30 proud Italian Nets fans :biggrin:

I have also to support "our boys", in the League... that meaning the knicks too, but it's a different kind of love, you know...

About the topic, I think that we are just lucky to have Devin in our team, and yes, he is an impact player.
Probably in RS we are more focused on offense, and on offensive impact… but in the playoffs (soon, let’s hope) Devin’s defence will make the difference. He can guard every PG in the league, scoring 20/25 at the same time; it’s also because of his work on Tony Parker that the Mavs won the serie VS San Antonio 3 years ago, and he can do it again every time on everybody.

Dude that's awesome. I think we have more Nets fans in Italy than in New Jersey.

Where in Rome do you live. I studied abroad there in college. Beautiful city. My mouth waters thinking about the food I ate there too.

You're right though, Devin is working out so well for us. I liked him on Dallas but didn't think he would ever be a starter quality PG on a good time. I ate my words the first week he was with us. This kid can play ball on both ends of the court.

Thanks for the beautiful city, and obviously I can understand you about the food.. :)
I live in Flaminio, not far from Piazza del Popolo and Via del Corso. If you studied Architecture probably you had classes in front of my house. And, as an american student in Rome, probably you have been a lot of times in Campo de'Fiori... :party:
