JRTHEBEAT- You need to swallow some TRUTH-SERUM. Their is the real truth vs the JRTHEBEAT TRUTH.

ok
cool
simple question
u would trade ben for colin sexton? straight up?

You are out of your mind. Ben was averaging 12.4 points per game a few days ago and Sexton is averaging almost 26 points per game. Don't make me laugh. Sexton is 10 inches smaller and can score on anybody. Ben is 10 inches bigger and throws jump passes behind him and struggles to make a layup. You lose the topic.

with the utmost respect
sexton is averaging 26 on a - i wont say bad team because they are in the playoffs right now - but lets say not as good a team as us
ben averages 4 assists, 6 rebounds more and 14 points less
but sextons job is to score and bens is to distribute
but i also think sexton is off to a hot start and ben has struggled offensively and i expect the gap to narrow as the season moves on
and as i have said, defensively its a different universe
and it sounds - only sounds - like u tend to overvalue points and undervalue defence

and as i said earlier - would u swap them if u could?

Who said it's not Ben's job to score? The number 1 pick in the draft? The media compared him to LeBron James and still do and you think it's not his job to score points. If that is the case his salary should be cut in half. It's everybody's job in our starting unit to score and play defense. All the Ben lovers are compromising the game of basketball.

Basketball in it's current form is a league of offense.

"Who said it's not Ben's job to score?"
Doc - he wants him distributing
ben scores 16 pts and 3 assist in the first half vs detroit and we're down 2
he scores 4 pts and 4 assists   in the second half and we outscore them by 6
its not as simple as that
and doc would love ben to score 20 a game
its just not the priority
the priority is to get the other guys scoring
