Crittenton and Farmar 

Post#1 » by Chi town » Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:02 pm

Are both pure PG's?

I know Phil and management love Critt. Why? What does he excel at.

What are the future lines you see these guys putting up?

What would is cost to snag one of them?

Yeah but lately Phil's been using him at the 2 to spell Kobe at times.

i dont think critt is a pure point guard. he reminds me more of the stephon marbury type while i see farmar as more of a distributor

yeah farmar is a true PG and in two years he can become a solid 16/7/3
as far as Critt he has alot more potential than farmar and is a better athlete i just hope that for our sake he can realize that potential imo a future 20/5/5 guy. If we are able to keep the young 3 together Farmar/Critt/Bynum along with Kobe still dropping 20+ we can be successful for atleast 7-8 more years.

people assume he is a scoring pg because he is tall people automatically think he is a francis/marbury type but he is not. He is not a Steve Nash pure pg but he is defenately a pg. I think they should trade Farmar for Maggette anyway not Critt to Chicago because the Clippers really need a pg.

Im basing it off my peepers and how he is a) ball dominate and b)tends to look to score. just because hes score first doesnt mean hes selfish or a cancer. think isiah as a player.

He's a combo guard and were not trading him for Maggette.

To be honest...not quite sure. The staff love Critt's potential as well as Farmar's Improvement - so the team is very high on both of them.

Famar: Tony Parker prototype. He has the speed, and a 3 point shot. Needs to develop a floater, mid-range game, and a 19 footer. Has good chemistry already with Bynum. His passing is mediocre at best.

Critt: CP3 Prototype. Has the ability to drive. Dribble penetration is one of his strengths. No jumper of any sort so far. Inability to finish close around the basket. Hasn't shown passing ability yet. Needs the standard amount of time to develop and break out. His 3rd year should start showing his true potential.

Okay so Star has stated what has long been said about Critt, that he is tall.

Question: is anyone else disappointed in his size? There is no way that Critt is a legit 6'5" - that would be about as tall as Kobe (he's admitted that).

I just always hear how Phil loves tall PGs so he loves Critt, but to me he looks maybe 6'2". What gives?

One is one of the best passers in the league...the other's a prototype because you think he can turn his complete lack of passing ability into 10 apg/game type passing? :roll:

and :rofl: at your farmar comparison. the only thing they have in common is speed right now lmao...tony parker doesnt have a 3 point shot, and farmar doesn't have the ability to break it down off the dribble.


He does, just not as good as Parker, but he does have the speed and ability to break down defenses

Are you trying to take this opportunity to act smart? I never said that they were already as good as them. They're all have potential and need time to develop. Seriously, shut up with the sarcasm because it's annoying.

The Lakers always end up with these scenarios once every decade. In the late 70's they had to make a decision to keep either Adrian Dantley or Jammal Wilkes. Both were small forwards but their games were totally different. But Jerry West decision was easy, he traded Dantley to the Jazz because he like to also play the post but we had Kareem so that was the end of that.

Then the 80's brought the AC Green and Kurt Rambis deal, but some how they made that work for a while.

The 90's was Eddie Jones and Kobe...........we know how that ended.

Now we have Jordan and Javaris , right now J5 has the upper hand. I know management love Critt but they gotta make that decision again but I gotta feeling this one won't be so easy. It's going to come down to who Phil thinks he can win with long term.
