Let's put this in its proper perspective. Ben Woodside led the EuroChallenge (Europe's 12th best league) in points per game and assists per game last season, averaging 19/6. Here are the stats to prove it: League leaders points per game: http://www.fibaeurope.com/cid_KNce8...ompID_BYg5Rb55Jw-G5I3MZ6JB01.season_2011.html League leaders assists per game: http://www.fibaeurope.com/default.asp?cid={5179A822-D4B1-4476-AD04-EDBC445D6DC6}&pageID={A5FD2D40-9632-42C5-9085-8A082D07D8B8}&compID={2E2A856E-5145-4FAF-9015-20D68C64CB01}&season=2011&statCat=AS OK. Now let's look at what Ben Woodside is averaging this year in Euroleague (the best league in Europe)............. 5 points and 2 assists per game in the Euroleague. Stats for proof: http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?clubcode=LJU&gamecode=70&pcode=003455 So, the guy that led the EuroChallenge in both points per game and assists per game last season, with averages of 19/6.........is now playing in the top league this year, which is the Euroleague. And in the actual top league (Euroleague), he averages 5 points and 2 assists per game. Also keep in mind that last year he had those stats (19/6) on what was one of the best teams of the EuroChallenge, while this year his stats (5/2) are on what is one of the worst teams of Euroleague. The difference in the level of competition between the Euroleague and the EuroChallenge (where Williams plays) is huge.
A non-NBA talent dominating the barnyard league. What was your point again Spyros? speak quicky, you have much hair and odor...
Let's put this in its proper perspective. Vassilis Spanoulis is leading the Euroleague in points per game this season, averaging 21.3 points and 5 assists. Here are the stats to prove it: League leaders points per game (scroll to the bottom): http://www.euroleague.net/?topic=Season OK. Now let's look at what Vassilis Spanoulis averaged in the NBA (the best league in the World)............. 2.78 points and 0.91 assists per game in the NBA. Stats for proof: http://www.clutchfans.net/players/vassilis_spanoulis/ So, the guy that is leading the Euroleague in points per game, with averages of 21/5......... played in the top league in 2006-07, which is the NBA. And in the actual top league (NBA), he averaged 3 points and 1 assist per game. Also keep in mind that this year he has those stats (21/5) on what is one of the best teams of the Euroleague, while his 2007 stats (3/1) were on the most awesome basketball team in the world (though third in the Southwest Division that season). The difference in the level of competition between the NBA and the Euroleague (where Spanoulis plays) is huge.
The barnyard league is the one Deron Williams played in, the EuroChallenge. The 12th best league in Europe. That's where Ben Woodside "dominated". In the barnyard 12th best European league. In the Euroleague, the top league of Europe, Ben Woodside is a scrub. Of course, you are simply incapable of getting any facts correct.
Which means that Williams' 50 point game in the #12 league of Europe is about like scoring 2 points in an NBA game..........or maybe 10 in a Euroleague game, so let's just all brag and be totally amazed by what Williams did...........
No it's that Williams has already proven that he can dominate in the best league in the world. Bringing up the Euroleague and Ben Woodside is irrelevant. Williams can go off in any league. I would think that's pretty obvious.
I see. Spanoulis averages 21.3 pts in Euroleague, does that mean he can average 106.5 pts in Eurochallenge?
He could probably average 50 in EuroChallenge without even hardly trying. Again, it's the 12th best league in Europe.
Besiktas is an enormous scrub team in Europe. Their history puts them like something around the 300th most important team in European basketball history. What else do they have to celebrate?
