Mike Dunleavy

so who's better? and who do you rather have?

i'll take mike

Add in contract, toughness, and defense and I'd say Salmons by a mile.

They're different players so IMO it depends on team needs. Salmons is a slasher and Dunleavy is more of a shooter. If im starting a team I'd take Salmons, if im a contender looking for more of a role player Dunleavy.

I'd take Salmons, I like his slashing game and his versatility on the defensive end.

Similar stats, but Salmons is the far superior defender.

Being a Pacers fan, I love Mikes game. He can drive, come off screens like a superstar, and has improved his three point shot to an elite level. His defense isn't as bad as advertised, and he is smart on that end of the court despite not being an athletic defender. This season isn't a fluke for him, and you can be confident that when he is called a play for he will get us the bucket. Also, as of late, he is rebounding like a real Power forward(he has been starting there in small ball), something like 8.5 the last 5 games, so look for that stat to rise.

John Salmons.

Give me Salmons easily.
