I don't recall mentioning Anderson at all in my post.
I still have no idea why people think Marcus Camby is a quality player. I really don't get why other teams would want him.
Okay, so if Rodney White was such a super prospect wouldn't you have expected the Pistons to keep hold of him and drop a lesser talent then Tayshaun Prince? My explaination makes more sense. I mean, why would a team drop someone who could be such a fantastic player, maybe an allstar, in favor or someone who basically plays the same position 3 /4 as White? I mean, Prince isn't really getting off the bench. Frankly, I don't think your "they didn't have room for him" makes a lot of sense. Gee, if they hadn't had room for him, why were they able to pick up Danny Manning in the middle of the season?
I'd just rather have Mark Madsen overall because I like him more. I think Bowen is highly overrated as a "hustle" player. He doesn't really produce. Sure he hustles, but they'd be better off with a player with marginal level of skill. Also, I take issue with you calling me "wrong". It's an opinion. Don't be so arrogant as to disregard someone elses opinion. If I am willing to read what you wrote, keep an open mind, and not call you an idiot, I would expect a similar courtesy.
Ultimately, and I'm sad to say this, any critiques of the Nuggets from this year are going to be skewed towards their "greatness". Mostly because you have inferior players getting quality minutes. It also helps the teams don't get geared up for playing against lesser competition. Likley you have played high school ball, and you know that when you are playing a crappy team, it's just hard to get up for it. Thus, some players are allowed to dominate and show their promise, who wouldn't normally be any good.
I'm going to disagree a bit with your athletic potential. I have read a lot of your posts, and you rate players extremely high if they can run fast, jump high etc. etc. However, it does not have to be the only building block. Plus, I think that it is universally overused as a indicator of someones potential. Like I said, and I've seen dozens of guys fall into the trap that if someone is a big jumper, he's going to be a great player one day in the NBA. It's analagous to those And1 guys. Because they have mad dribbles and crazy passing skills, people sometimes think they will be fantastic. Being a good player is as much about fundamentals, desire and other intangibles as it is about having great hops.
