And David lee isn't a roll player? Really man open your eyes. Kevin Martin is going to be a elite scoring machine for the next couple of years. In my mind, thats a little bit better than a role player. What is David Lee going to do? Stay in rotation for the knicks? Put him on a legit contender and then talk to me. I think he'll dissapear down the bench somewhere.
have you ever looked at martin's stat line??, hes having a down season averaging over 19ppg... if he's a role player hes the first one ive ever heard of being given the role of averaging 20+ a game. he's an elite scorer and you will feel dumb for ever typing this..
Here is a good article of Martin on Slam. Some might have seen it already but it talks about his guys efficient play, things like TS% and compare them to a lot of other big names. it's a good read for the one's still not too familiar with Kmart's game. http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/slamonline-top-50/2009/09/top-50-kevin-martin-no-41/
Yeah the same way i feel dumb for saying ariza is a role player....which he has proven to be. Martin role player. his scoring numbers in sac were inflated because he was all they had. he had the ball all of the time and shot it. and i am a little pissed that we traded mcgrady and landry basically for him. call me crazy but he hasn't done much in the few games he's been here and really i just don't see him doing much. call me crazy but he looks like a softie to me
The guy who is well known for drawing a crap load of fouls is a softie. We also traded McGrady and Landry just for Martin, and got nothing from NY. Please excuse while I shall go bang my head on a wall. < Good. >
So, you are saying that because you were right about Ariza, you are never wrong? What does Ariza have to do with ANYTHING? Now it's pretty obvious you haven't even looked at his numbers. How efficient do you think Kevin Martin was prior to his wrist injury? You might want to look that up. I think he is coming off of a broken wrist. So, in your world, since T-Mac had a 26 point game, he is probably going to be the scoring leader for the rest of the season? T-Mac isn't a softy? Kevin Martin, for his career, is just about as efficient at scoring as Kobe Bryant. Have you ever bothered looking at what he has done over his career? Just curious.
No, Martin's number are not "inflated", he was never the guy to take all the shots. The years Kevin averaged 24 and 25 points a game, he did that on only 15 shots a game. In comparison, someone like Kobe averages 22-25 shots a game.
you don't care about the draft picks? and btw...way to go out on a limb and declare ariza a role player. it was really a stretch to call him that.
