See look at that to whoever said Tyson Chandler shouldn’t be playing. He comes in pushes Splitter to the perimeter and guards the pick in roll forcing Barbosa to take a wild fadeaway 3 pointer contested. That’s something Love and Odom have failed to do once the entire game. They have allowed Splitter to get low post position and shoot over them all day.

I’ve always thought Iguodala was somewhat overrated.

I mean, he’s a great athlete and good overall player. I used to think he was an elite defender, but his defense has slipped the past couple of seasons.

I just don’t think he’s a consistent/reliable scoring threat. I think he’d be best as a third option on a championship caliber team. Second option on a team that could maybe win a first round game. First option on a borderline playoff team.

I didn’t say he shouldn’t be playing. I said why I thought he wasn’t.

He hasn’t been very good. Last game he missed two wide open lobs and just played sloppy. He fouls a lot and then doesn’t keep his cool very well.

He’s 7′ 1″, so obviously Team USA could use his size. He just needs to play smarter.

Splitter just puts his head down and tries to bully his way into the paint by slamming into his defender. Granted he throws in a spin move here and there, which seems to always be accompanied by his off arm hooking his defender(should be an offensive foul). I don’t know if that’ll fly in the NBA. Solid player though.

“Second option on a team that could maybe win a first round game. First option on a borderline playoff team.”

He’s been a 1st option on a team that’s won a playoff game. Twice.

I think if you put on a team like the Nuggets with Carmelo, he could help make them a title contender as a 2nd option scorer. It depends on the team, but he can be a 2nd option on a title contender. He can do everything on the floor, and his D slipped last year because of his offensive responsibilities. He’s not a guy who can get you 20 ppg consistently, but he can get you a very nice amount of good scoring games even though that’s not his game. Put him on a team with a top notch scorer and Iguodala would really stand out on the defensive end more than he did last year. Last year was the only year he played less than high-level on D.

I think that he needs to play with a guy that is a beast on the block.. Not because he is a catch and shoot type of guy but because he knows how to find people and capitalize on a defender trying to close out on him… Put him in NJ, Orlando, or JY and he will be a better player..

I’m not hating on Iguodala. I’ve liked him since Arizona. It’s just that when I think of second options on championship caliber teams, I think of Pau Gasol, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer, Brandon Roy (who I think is really a second option on a championship caliber team), etc.

I just don’t think Iguodala is a consistent enough/reliable scorer. That doesn’t mean I don’t think he’s good. I think he’d thrive in the third option role, while being able to play his usual all-around game.

See.. To me, the fact that he slashes makes it easier if he has a stud on the block.. Then, he has a guy to dump the ball to incase he gets trapped, or, he can turn and kick the ball out.. If his only option is to stop and kick the ball out after her drives, then people will defend that. BUT, if he has a guy on the block along with shooters, then he would be far more effective..

You can’t let a players salary determine what they are as an option. If we go by that then Eddy Curry at 11 million is a second option.

He won’t eclipse the 20 ppg game mark for a season more than once, idk if he will ever do it.

He’s not a great shooter, but his passing abilities he can take to his advantage when he drives to the basket rather than forcing stuff. A lot of the teams know to collapse on guys when they drive and make the Americans shoot from the perimeter in order to beat them.

Realistically, he’s only playing because he’s a good defender.

Lamar Odom could pass better then him, he could do the same thing. He’s not clutch and he always makes that ” How is that foul on me face” when he gets called on ( which I hate). Iggy is just someone who I expected to do well because he was a vet on this team and he’s done the opposite.

To me, he went from 2nd option to 3rd option on a title team to me.

Rose sucked on defense. I don’t understand how someone so athletic and quick can be suck a bad defender. I don’t see the improved jumper. In the lol min Westbrook got he was unimpressive as well with his decision making. Billuos played pretty well and realizes u can’t go full speed all the time when making a play on offense

Quincey I can agree with everything you said except for the improved Jumper on Rose’s part. Maybe it hasn’t improved, but he is definitely a lot more confident taking it, and is making them at a better rate, so yeah that is basically improving lol.

How is he making them at a better rate? From what I see his true jump shooting percentage hasn’t improved(that doesn’t include layups or floaters)

I might get bashed for this, but Brazil defiantely should have won, based on how the U.S. played. Barbosa usually doesn’t shoot that poorly and he forced some shots, too. Varejao would have been helpful, too but if Nene hadn’t been hurt this would have been a completely different game.

On a different note, I gotta agree Quincey, how can someone so quick and athletic like Rose be such a God-awful defender?

Kevin Love could be 6’11 or taller because Kevin Durant is at least 6’11” with shoes but at worst is 6’10 and a half in shoes. Dude was 6’9″ and some change out of college at 19.

I think Iguodala is a great defender, as well as a great athlete and finisher. He has the perfect combination of length and quickness to play great defense on positions 1-3, as well as play the passing lanes. He is also a very mature player who seems like he really gives full effort on every play.

I think offensively his jumper is streaky and his handle is suspect at times, but he is good enough moving without the ball and finishing in transition to compensate so that he could be a #2 scorer on a championship team, but not necessarily the #2 option in a halfcourt set. For instance, if he was traded to the Lakers I would still consider Kobe #1, Pau #2, and Iguodala #3 in the halfcourt, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Iguodala put up a higher scoring average than Gasol due to his activity in the open court.
