29. "DMC is more of a franchise player than Love" In response to In response to 0
Love was out there gunning jumpers to get his & only his...Mr. 51/Martin/Rubio were left high & dry. He's also an over-rated rebounder (Gorgui might actually be the best rebounder on the team) as most of the time dude is running in for offensive boards rather than getting back on D & he is know for chasing rebounds rather than challenging shots on the defensive end. I really don't see him being any better than the 3rd wheel (ala RuPaul) on a true contender otherwise teams are going to end up Boozer-ing themselves if they think he's a legit #2. David Lee w/ more range sound about the ceiling for him right now.
Meanwhile DMC was out there drawing double teams & making his teammates better. DMC is also a master at blocking shots w/o getting off the ground plus he is apt at reading plays & jumping into the passing lane. I just hope he gets a decent coach & a group of vets (ala Sheed) in Detroit before he ruins his career. Dude has the potential to be a bigger version of Barkley.
