Re: OT: Michael Redd's place among active pure SG's

welll, since you lack the testicular fortitude to defend your position in the general forum, i will bring the opinions of the general forum in here....

here are some thoughts on redd:

Also, Roy's 19/5/6 now, so I find it a little funny that you say maybe he could become 20/5/5 next year. His scoring may actually end up going down with Oden and Rudy coming, with more assists resulting. [/hijack]

That's really the only list that matters.

only people that aren't better than redd are: ben gordon, vince carter, and kevin durant....durant only because he is a rookie with such a low shooting percentage.....


and i happent to think manu is at least a top 5 sg in the league...he has such an impact in winning and losing....mostly winning though....

If he's used correctly, he isn't any worse than any other pure shooter in the league but doesn't offer as much to the table as guys that can slash and create shots for others.
