I am a little late in the game in the Rasheed Wallace/Elton Brand discussion but to put my 2 cents in, I am going to have to agree with Crash on this one. In my opinion Brand is a slightly better low post scorer, better overall rebounder, better shot blocker and does not need to be fed the ball to score points. I believe he is either the top guy or near the top in offensive rebounds. There is no question that Brand is the better citizen than Wallace and probably a better overall teamate. I think the ONLY think Wallace has over Brand is a better 3pt shot and a better long range shot. Not something that makes a ton of difference when it comes to low post players / power forwards. Even though Wallace is 6-11 and Brand is 6-8, Brand plays taller than that and has long arms. I don't think the height difference is a big deal here. As much as I like Brand however I don't think he is a MAX type player. He is not a player you build a team around. He is more of a secondary player. The same can be said for Wallace. If someone said that I could have either Brand or Wallace on the Rockets I would take Brand in a heartbeat. His game would work well with Yao's. Chris
a combination of Keith Van Horn and Keon Clark. Van Horn for the scoring, rebounding, and ugh 3 point shooting and Clark for the block shot ability. That equates to not an all star but a good overall player.
With Yao and Francis already here it is impossible for Eddie to put up super star #'s but he will have superstar talent w/ in 2 seasons. I voted for sheed but he wont quite have his #'s I say about 16 ppg. But he will be closer to that than Robbert horry.
