Who would you prefer to have on your team as the starting 2? Kevin Martin is really evolving into a 2 way player (efficient scorer and good defender).

Getting old? The guy turned 28 in August. I don't have a problem preferring one guy to another, but saying he's getting old is rather ignorant.

Agreed hes not old at all actually in his prime years ..

and yes Martin is devoloping into a nice player but i still take Redd .. he Shoots great and plays nice defense ..Martin is becoming good but hes only 2 games back from that injury .. i wanna see if he stays consistent with this but geast win over the Mavs none the less

Martin was playing good pre-injury as well, how many games have you seen K-Mart play in?

Martin is simply taking his game to a new level. He's better right now.

It pains me to say this as a Warriors fan, but Martin is clearly better. Much more efficient scorer, better defender, younger, and paid less. Martin basically wins every possible category except 3pt shooting.

Redd is a better all around player, you couldn't count the times he has been either one rebound or one assist short of a triple-double this year, but on the other hand martin clearly is Much more efficient scorer.

Actually a pretty nice comparison given they were both relative steals at their draft positions. I think overall Martin is better, he is by far the better, more efficient scorer, the only thing Redd having over him is 3pt shooting (even though he has lower 3pt%, he has a much quicker trigger). Martin is also a better defender IMO, more steals, comparable rebounders, younger, and on a better contract. Redd averages more assists, but he has the ball in his hands a lot more than Martin does, and Redd has often been accused of ignoring teammates so I don't buy that he is a clearly superior passer, but neither of them are terrific at it.

All in all, I don't see how anyone would prefer Redd.

Kevin Martin SHOULD be selected by the coaches as an all-star this season, even after his month long absence.

Well who should be the guards in your opinion???

Nash/Paul/D. Williams
Kobe/Martin

That's how I see

Kevin Martin because he's younger.
