Nobody will tell you Detroit's Center's, Ben Wallace or Elden Campbell are better than Shaq. Also, nobody will tell you that Rasheed Wallace or Antonio McDysse are better than Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, or Jermaine O'neal. So no, Milicic doesn't play behind "maybe the best centers/power forwards in the leauge," he
definately doesn't. It doesn't help him that he's one of the worst players in the NBA.

You really think he'd play 4 minutes/game if he'd be playing for Atlanta? Give me a break - Milicic didn't get any proper chance to prove himself - and you are judging him on what?! Stats again?!

He wasn't even that great in Europe, where he got plenty of playing time.

Same **** with Brezec - he had O'Neal in front of him and Brad Miller - and he was a rookie. Now, how could he get his minutes? By injuring one of those two guys? And please don't start with "he-should-have-tried-harder-and/or-practiced-more crap" cause you know its bull****.

He was still behind them three years later, and he still would be if he came back to the Pacers.

Olowokandi had good stats for a NCAA athlete,

I wouldn't say his stats were that good, 13 PPG.

but when he came to Europe he was somewhere average

He was somewhat average in three games, and he was still on pace to lead his European team in field goals.

which proves that even the brightest NCAA stars should earn their money in Europe and that the Euroleague is stronger than the NCAA where kids play! That's why the USAbasketball stoped sending NCAA players to international tournaments - cause they are kids of 22years max.

Yes, three games by one persone certainly leaves us with this deduction.

As for Anthony Parker and Maceo Baston (the two that PacerGuyUSA stressed):
Maceo Baston - he played one year in Toronto where he had the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon, Antonio Davis, Jerome Williams, Eric Montross in front of him. His stats - 2,5 ppg, 1,4 rpg in 7 minutes.

Which was it, 2 points or 5 points? 1 rebound or 4? Unless your making typos and that's supposed to be a decimal point. I don't know, and I can't rebute you if I don't know which you're talking about?
Quote:

Could have he done better in those 7 minutes? Hard to belive. Could have he played more? Yes, if someone would get injured.
|
Jerome Williams and Eric Montross are scrubs.

Becuse they are put in an enviornment where they feel needed and where they can express themselves.

A.K.A. they need a worse league to play in. Certainly being behind the likes of Jerome James, Eric Montross, Jim Jackson proves this.
