Care to Assist with My 3 Dilemmas??? 

Post#1 » by riehldeal » Wed Mar 12, 2008 12:59 am

Looking for other people's opinions/thoughts

1) Budinger vs Westbrook

2) Hansbrough vs Hendrix vs Love

3) Rush vs Weaver vs Lee

1) Buddinger. Westbrook is way overrated. He needs another year of college. He plays out of control and is an undersized SG in a PG's body. A year on the Collison-less Bruins next year could do him wonders. Budinger at worst is a Mike Miller type NBA spot up shooter. Westbrook at worst is Dejuan Wagner.

2) Love, Hendrix, Hansbrough...in that order. Love is extrememly skilled and his jump shot makes up for his lack of height and athleticism. Hansbrough needs that jumper or else he is a role player.

3) Weaver, Rush, Lee...in that order. All there can do a lot of things and all three will be nice players. Weaver is the best defender, Rush the most well rounded, Lee the best scorer. Pick your preferance. Lee is the most likely to flame out and end up in the D League.

For the first 2 that is exactly what I have, but for the last one I am needing to see more of Lee however I currently have Rush-Lee-Weaver

Become a believer in Weaver. He is stiffled by that system but he is a Josh Howard type player who will excel on both ends of the floor in the more wide open NBA.

I'm really not sure where Westbrook is getting all this lottery yap about to be quite honest. Budinger is the guy I'd go with. I think he has a better chance of being an extremely solid NBA player than Westbrook. And I don't think Westbrook will do as well in the NBA as some people appear to think.

2) Hansbrough vs Hendrix vs Love


I'll go with Love. His lack of NBA athleticism and footspeed are a concern but this guy just knows how to play the game. He's strong, has a lot of skills and has a just a great feel for the game that simply can't be taught.

3) Rush vs Weaver vs Lee


Weaver would be my pick. I think Weaver is the better all around player in terms of the NBA and could turn out at worst to be a solid bench player. Not a fan of Rush. Hate his handles and his jumper has a hitch to it that I think he'll have a problem with in the NBA.

1. Buddinger - I don't think either are that great really. Also, no way Buddinger is a Mike Miller type shooter. Not even close, but much more athletic then Miller.

2. Don't watch too much Alabama basketball, so no idea on Hendrix. But I'd take Hansbrough over Love. Love has the better post moves and outside shot, but Hansbrough is a much better athlete than Love and what a lot of people give him credit for, and I think at the very least, he'll find a niche in the NBA as a solid, energy guy, although I think he'll be starting PF in the NBA. Also, why does everyone give a free pass to Love on his weight and conditioning. He needs to lose some weight, a la Udonis Haslem, or else he's a less athletic Glen Davis.

3. Again, don't watch Western Kentucky basketball so no comments on Lee. I'd take Rush over Weaver. Weaver's outside shot isn't up to par, and his body is nowhere near NBA ready. Rush is probably 2nd round material at best too though. I think both of them will be out of the league after a couple of shots, but Rush has the better chance out of the two.

After seeing Lee for the first time last night, I have changed my stance on the last dilemma....I now have Lee-Rush-Weaver.....and am now even considering putting Lee ahead of CDR

The only one I can help you with is Budinger v. Westbrook, and it's Budinger all the way.

Without getting into too much detail (tryin to watch 'Cuse-Nova)....I saw PLENTY of positives in his game (alot of things jumped off the screen and screamed big time), and if that's a really bad game for him then I would really like to see him on

I like the guy, don't get me wrong. But, if last night moved him ahead of Weaver or Rush then you have not seen enough of Weaver or Rush.

I have no scientific method (well I guess I do but point is I don't rely on it) to my madness but I always trust my eyes and my gut.....rarely has failed me to this point (exceptions being Prince & Boozer).....multiple times, Lee jumped off the screen and I can't ignore that

Love over Hansbourgh over Hendrix

Lee over Rush over Weaver

Yeah, I have been just now thinking about placing Hansbrough over Hendrix but not sold yet

What's your thought process on that one?
