I don't think that will happen///

It makes too much sense. And I think J-Rich was the best trading piece.

it actually is a coincidence, since ive been living in the states most of my life... for all i can tell, i dont give a damn belinelli is italian (the real italian stud we all should get excited about is danilo gallinari, 88 born 6-9 SF currently playing in milan-the guy is just amazing), i simply think the pick does make a lot of sense.
and as i already said, i was very surprised noone seems to have watched the world championships last year. if you are such a great basketball fan then its very strange you seem to not to know anything about a kid who dropped 25 points on your team and completely dominated the perimeter.

by the way, im also wandering how come u seem not to know anything about the kid. he dropped 25 against the US at the world championships! wasnt any one of u watching the game?

Man you guys are twisting my words around. I simply said that i didn't know much about the guy not that i have never heard of him and yes i do recall the US v ITA game last year. I think he's a great player, just not as good as Fernandez will be, but i could be wrong. It's just my opinion.

After doing a little reasearch on the two players heres what i found:

Rudy Fernadez 06-07 Euroleague Stats
http://www.euroleague.net/competitio...ayer?pcode=BMT

Marco Belinelli 06-07 Euroleague Stats
http://www.euroleague.net/competitio...=for&pcode=BCN

Summary-Fernandez shoots a better fg%, 3pt%, and FT% than Marco and averages 3ppg more than him while playing 2mpg less against relatively the same competition. He also managed to average more stls and assts as well.

And if you followed the FIBA championships last year in its entirety, meaning aside from the USA games, you would also recall that Fernandez and the Spanish team won the Gold medal where as the Italian team finished what 8th or 9th. Not to say that stats mean everything or that Belinelli sucks, i just think that fernandez is the better player overall and has more versatility to his game than Marco does but i think both will be solid players in the NBA and i wish them both nothin but the best. I still think that Rudy was a steal at #24 but you guys got a solid player as well.

Nobody here is twisting your words: you compared 2 players admitting that you don't know much about one of them.

It's your opinion, and now that you are posting proofs I surely respect it

About stats: look at the 2 teams... while Rudy is in a all around good team Marco found himself as the leader of his team at only 20 years (a totally different team from the year before). What does this mean? That the last shot was always for Marco and defenders were always looking at him = worse shots, worse stats.

Climamio had an awful season this year...

But I didn't understand this... what do you mean? That Fernandez is stronger than Dirk, Parker and all the US team?

Do you know players like Navarro, Garbajosa, Calderon and GASOL?

Power_Ballin:
i had absolutely no intention of twisting your words around. i wasnt even referring to your words but just replying to a low-level post made i believe by essbee.
it was not my intention to say that belinelli is a better player the rodriguez, but a better fit... big difference!
say you are dallas: would you pick a very good PF over, say, a good PG? i personally wouldnt since i would consider my team covered at the 4-spot.
same here. no need for a PG when you have one of the best in the league. better to draft a solid role player that can contribute well to my team's uptempo play.

benfica · 07-04-2007, 06:36 AM

Bellini will be a great player as he is not afraid to shoot and does that well. The guy can score on anybody.

benfica · 07-08-2007, 07:00 AM

What did I tell you guys, hops off the plane and pops 37 points without a sweat. He has that Manu no fear can beat anyone, anytime mindset.

Like I said he was the steal of the draft and will move into the starting slot before the year is out.
