Wallace but Smith is a very close 2nd

I'd say it's pretty easily Smith. Smith, for one, isn't injury prone, and he's much younger.

I wanted to say wallace befause of his on the ball defensive and smith's poor shot selection, but i don't think they out weigh the age and potential that smith has on wallace.

Wallace
Smith
AK

But on another team I think AK could be as good or better than both the others

Kirilenko would definitely get more noticed on another team, it isn't his fault Williams and Boozer are as good as they are..he's still a solid defender..he can make shots, and he's one of the best passing big men in the NBA..

I'm not a fan of neither Wallace or Smith, especially Smith..Smith is one of the best shot blockers in the NBA, and a pretty good rebounder, but I don't think he's suited to be a 2nd option like he is..he's more of a Marion type to 2 other great players..Wallace has improved, and I could definitely see him as a #2 option..

Wallace is the best. Smith has no basketball skills, he just dunks on fastbreaks and blocks shots from the weakside. AK47 is already on the decline.

Do you watch the games or just the highlights after them?

he probbably watch 2 maybe 4 games max but everything else is highlights. dunking and block shots is what smith is known for but thats not all he does.

he is averaging 18 points per game right now. and he has 0(zero) plays ran for him. woodson is not a good couch WATCH THE GAMES!!

I compare smith to nique even though he is not on niques level. when nique was in the league he was mainly known for his dunking and his dunking only. nique had a pretty decent shot but he was so known for his dunking that everytime you see a highlight of him what is he doing....DUNKING you will never ever see a highlight with him doing a layup.

Same with smith dont nobody wanna see him lay the ball up. they wanna see him dunk.

As for the question i probably taken wallace by a smig over smith. AK47 is still good though.

You're exactly right, if the Hawks can somehow EVER get a good PG in here his game will takeoff. Everyone on our team has to create their own shot, and Smith is the 2nd best on our team behind JJ at that so it forces him into more turnovers and a lower FG%. I just want a PG on our team that can control the game, it would help us so much.

I'd take Smith pretty easily. Let's not forget he is only 22 so he is far from a finished product.

NetsForce · Post #17 » by **NetsForce** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 7:00 am

I'd say Gerald Wallace pretty easily. He's not an inefficient scorer like Smith and plays better man-to-man defense.

Smith has the potential to surpass G-Wall though, he's already the better shot blocker but if he can get a good mentor who can teach him the game of basketball and help him keep his head on straight (which he has started to do this year), the sky is the limit for him.

AK-47 is a distant 3rd among these 3 players...

1a. Smith
1b. Wallace
1c. Kirilenko

I love all three.

Wallace's man defense has gotten better this season but I've always thought it was massively over-rated. He used to gamble soooo much and get torched for it, he's cut back a little but I wouldn't call him a stopper by any means. I've never seen him do anything special against Joe Johnson or Josh Smith and hypothetically he could guard both.

The best player at his peak is AK and he's still young but I'm not sure what happened to him. That guy used to be absolutely amazing.

Believe it or not, the Hawks games last longer than the 2 minute highlights you watch.
