Northern Bracket: Martin(8) vs. Redd(9)

[roseorbust]

Please indicate who you would rather have take both now and the future into account.


Kevin Martin (8)

Kevin Martin has emerged as a awesome offensive player who is very tall. He is leading the Kings in scoring, and at 6 foot 7 he poses a matchup problem against smaller shooting guards. The Kings are fortunate to have a player as good and young as Martin to rebuild around.

VS

Michael Redd (9)

Redd is very similar to his oponent, considering they are both tall SGs who are offensive machines. Redd would be very well suited with a low post presence. He can shoot the three lights out. Graduated from Ohio State. Doesn't seem to be fitting well in Milwaukee, could be on the move.

Kevin Martin baby, because he gets it done from the free throw line...

[TMACFORMVP]

Well considering Martin is just as good as Redd now IMO, and factoring in age where Martin is nearly 4 years younger, have to go with him.l

[HarlemHeat37]

not a fan of either of these guys and their playing styles..I don't like 1-D players..

I'll take Martin though, because Redd seems like a cancer on the court..

[ponder276]

Kevin Martin. Younger, and seems to be still improving, with much more upside than Redd. Both are pure scorers, but I like how Martin scores more - he takes outside shots, but is also a great slasher, very good at getting to the line, and has a nice midrange game, whereas Redd is very perimiter oriented.

[tsherkin]

They're comparable shooters and slashers but yeah, Martin's younger and a slightly better defender, so you've got to go with him.

I actually voted Redd by accident because I'm a bit drunk, so take that into account when looking at the numbers...

[SOUL]

Martin

Redd prolly can hit the 3 more consistent tho.. but I like what I've seen from Martn.

Actually Martin is actually shooting the 3 at a percentage higher than Redd has ever managed as a starter.

[Reks]

martin was one of the few guys last year to almost average 50 40 90 last year but didn't. he came close at 47 38 84
and michael redd is sucking for loss of a better word

Drink?

Haha, singular form...

Let us say, I have been doing some research on my own time for my bartending course, sampling some of the fine selection of cocktails I now know how to make.



Also, in the future, someone remind me that Godfathers are NOT to be consumed in triplets.

[HarlemHeat37]

I heard Godfather is good, never tried it though..

I like the Drunken Superman..that's mostly what I had in Mexico all day..great drink to get drunk with more tequila, but with a good taste..

Miami Vice was another one..a lot is needed to get drunk though..

what's the best one you've had so far?..

Hmm... I like Scotch and other whiskeys, so I'm a huge fan of just straight bourbon or Tennessee whiskey (Jack's).

Cocktail-wise, I'm a fan of the Sloe Comfortable Screw Against the Wall, I have a soft spot for the Blue Lagoon because I like rum, and there were shots of tequila, so that's always a party (I don't do the ritual, though; I drink my tequila like I usually drink my whiskey, straight up).

What else... Black Russians don't suck.

But what's my favorite drink? Or what's my favorite drink that I've been making?

To the first, straight Jack's is generally my favorite drink (though I enjoy a lot of scotch and Irish whiskey).

My favorite drink that I've been making (and trying) has to be the Irish Car Bomb.

EDIT: Even though, as a beer drinker, I never touch Guiness unless it's an ICB. Beer-wise, I like stuff like Grolsch, Heineken, Stella, etc.

[tsherkin]

Ack, we're off-topic... thread-hijacking at its finest.

Let's keep my sundry drinking habits to PMs and let this get back to Martin and Redd.
