On the great Delonte West:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...minated-090531

"Delonte West, who played well on Saturday, is ideally a first guard off the bench, a tough, skilled player who can man both guard spots. But at just 6-foot-3, he's too small to start at shooting guard, especially next to the 6-1 Williams"

Interesting. Broussard, a respected NBA columnist, views the great delonte west as too small to be a starting 2 guard even for a team that Jerry West said would be a lottery team without Lebron.

LOL. I guess he doesnt know what he is talking about either.

Yeah this is useful. West had a real tough time guarding Rip Hamilton, Joe Johnson and Turkoglu, all who are much taller than him. Broussard is hardly an expert on anything and he says a lot of stupid stuff. yeah a guy who played 45 minutes a game in the playoffs should be coming off the bench. Cleveland's problem isnt its guards height, it is its lack of a long swing defender outside of Lebron.

"In not surprised by his success this season because a lot of players prevail in different systems. A guy might not be the same player in another coach's scheme. It's all about the way you're used. He's found a home in Cleveland, and I credit Mike Brown for using Delonte's talent to the best of his ability.

"They didn't utilize him the right way in Seattle. But in Cleveland, he's an X-factor for that team. He gives them toughness, scoring and defense. If you take him off that team, they lose a lot. He's in a situation in Cleveland where he doesn't have to score 20 or 30 points to make a difference. Then again, he's not just an extra player out there on the floor.

"He hits big shots, he knows his role, he puts pressure on the defense and he gets to loose balls. Of course, playing with LeBron changes things because LeBron attracts a lot of attention. He gets double- and triple-teamed, so his teammate

LOL. Charles barkley and doug collins are idiots. Broussard doesnt know what he is talking about. But suddenly, maurice evans is a genius. LOL Even funnier is that Broussard use to be the cavs beat writer although i think that was before the great delonte came to town.

Try again Chuck. Im still waiting to hear again that Trevor Ariza is a bum and Delonte West is a much better player.
