TOP 25 

Post#1 » by Kobe System » Wed Jun 29, 2011 4:15 am

I find this ranking interesting.

As a Laker fan, I notice:

PG: Our PG rotation really suck.
SG: Kobe still reign
SF: We also don't have someone in Top 25 (14. Caron Butler ?) I believe Peace can still crack this list.
PF: BG and Amare over Gasol? I don't know about that.
C: Andrew Bynum Top 11? I don't know about that as well. He can go up to Top 2 depending on his health.


Thoughts?

Dear god Sam Smith is an idiot. The dude actually had Noah at the #4 spot. Dude is a homer. Bynum at #11 is a joke, apparently he did not see Bynum dominate after the all star break. Nene? The center who average 7 rebounds a game is the second best center behind Howard? Al "No defense" Jefferson? Brook " I can't rebound for ****" Lopez?

Bynums ranking is mostly because of health. It doesn't matter how good you are, if you can't stay on the court, you're just not that valuable. In fact, Bynum hurts the lakers when he is out injured because that is 13 million dollars that could be going towards another high impact player.

Then how do you explain Noah rank at #4 when the past 2 season Bynum has played more games than him?

i am a huge andrew bynum fan. what he bring to our team defensively can not be measured, but lets see if he can make it through a whole season before we start ranking him as the second best center in the nba.

Bynum is obviously #2 when healthy ... Noah at #4 is hilarious ...

Sam's lists are pretty good actually ... it's only the C list that seems way, way off.

Scola at #9 on the PF list is a complete joke.

Thad Young at #12 on the SF list is ridiculous.

The SG list is very good.

The only name that stands out to me on the PG list is Tyreke Evans at #9 ... I think of him as more of a SG and while he is a top 9 "talent" he's nowhere near the general as a Chauncey Billups at #19, etc.

Well I didn't say te rest of the list was good, that's just why Bynum is ranked so low.
