    Kevin Martin. Yeah, I went there. When healthy and playing under a coach who uses him properly, he's one of the top scorers in the league. Problem is he's not healthy and the coaching staff doesn't like him.

    It's a tossup between him and Scola. We know what they can do. I went with Scola myself.

    Going to have to go with Martin. Can't deny that the man can flat out shoot the ball. I know a lot will choose Parsons, and I think Parsons will be next year. But in my opinion it goes like this.

    1. Dragic
    2. Lowry
    3. Martin
    4. Parsons
    5. Lee
    6. Scola
    7. Dalembert
    8. Camby
    9. Budinger
    10. Fortson
    11. Morris
    12. Smith

    Maybe Martin would be better in a Manu like role, playing as a 6th man, ONLY seeing the floor when at least 1 out of Pat/Camby are on the floor with him, to cover up for his defensive deficiencies and set their great big man picks

    I might interchange Camby and Dalembert, but that seems about right to me.

    edit: Oh, also Lowry/Dragic.

    KMART obviously. In fact I would put him as our best player when healthy and coached properly. I really do rate him

    Maybe its me jumping on the bandwagon but IMHO Parsons deserves the 3rd spot. Dude is a two way beast, locking down the opponent while scoring 10-20 pts at a healthy clip. Also, while not on the roster DMO will probably be the best player on this team when all is said and done.

    At this point Parsons is becoming one of our best players at least the player who makes me want to watch a game the most

    poll results pretty much shows the mentality of the board...

    Picked Martin myself. Thought about Scola but since neither are defensive specialists, I went with points...lots of points.

    Scola will win out once the old timers vote.

    I went with CHANDLER BANG. Too small of a sample size to tell though

    I gotta go Scola... a little more consistency than KMart... and both lose major points for defence...
    I think by next year it might be Parsons - and already is, if you take contract into account...

    Went with KMart despite all of the prevailing hatred around here.

    Parsons and Scola are both good picks, though.

    I mean, objectively, you're right. It's only a debate when it's between Martin and Scola, actually. The only reason why Parsons is winning is because of the hype/fan favoritism he's experiencing right now.

    And this is coming from someone whose favorite player right now is Parsons.

    This year its Scola he has shown up everyday and performed great.

    In the future its gonna be Parsons he will be a star!

    And the past it would be Camby he won a DPOY Trophy.

    So I voted Scola.
