Yeah, A little hole in the credibility department with me.

All i know is that Trevor Ariza has been written about in almost every major publication in the country. Delonte? Well...he didnt even make the TNT gone fishin picture. A shame...i would have loved to have gotten your check in the mail.
I'm interested in when their real numbers come out. They say in the description that this is just a filler until they publish their more complex formula.

And your last paragraph may be the worst reasoning ever offered in the history of internet forums.

And if you took that last paragraph as anything besides me having a ltitle fun with Chuck then I would recommend a drink (goose and tonic).

If Trevor Ariza were a baseball player or a horse there would be multiple columns about how a bum suddenly became an decent player seemingly overnight.

People are talking like he will be an all star. I can provide a link for you to one of those.

me? I think he is a very average role player that fills the lane well on the break, at times hits the open jumper and can play decent to good perimeter defense.

There are lots of "bums" that take a while to find their way. Look at chauncey Billups or ben wallace. Look at boris diaw who went from bum to decent player back to bum again. All about the team and the role for guys with middle of the road talent.

I agree with you! How about that. He is a good athlete that plays long and has suddenly found out how to hit an open jumper.

i never said he was good. The disagreement was whether he was much different than delonte west. And my opinion remains that they are about the same level of player. Both of them get to feed off of playing with a great player and both were bums before they got in the right spot.

West's numbers in his second year in the league were better than this year in every possible way (PPG, RPG, APG, FG%) and that was from virtually identical minutes.
