levels of greatness and mediocracy (not a lebron topic)

You need some more levels below medicore..

if you don’t add them I’ll have no way to rate Iowa State’s basketball team this year

But if Kwame Brown is mediocre or poor overall, what is he without his post defense? I think he is a good or very good low post defender, so does that raise him to a average or a good player because of that? He has also had a 10 year career, does longevity play a part? A lot of guys are out of the league after 3 or 4, I think longevity should play a part too. I’m not Kwame Brown’s agent or #1 fan, but to accurately rate a player, I think you have to analyze different parts of his/her game. I hear what you are saying, but for that to be accurate I think you need a system as to how you catagorize each players rather than, general groupings.

You should really work luke jackson into the lowest level, maybe have one with solomon jones.

Then you need one level above elite for John Bryant

Here’s a question though, how would you rate Manute Bol?? His career point and rebound numbers are 2.6 and 4.2 but he is 2nd on the all-time shot blocking list in the history of the NBA. He was extremely one dimensional and an overall below average player, but he was an elite shot blocker. Is he average because of that or still mediocre with an *

But he has more blocks than Olajuwon, Robinson, Shaq, Duncan, Ewing, Mutombo, Camby, Wallace and everyone except Mark Eaton, he changed games by being in the paint, and he hit 6 3’s in a game, lol. I’m not trying to give you crap, I just want to know how you place players in your system other than a general hunch.

Bam 2,000th post!

The Heat would love a Manute Bol in his prime… Manute can anchor a defense..
