Aaron Brooks should be at least 2nd in the fastest with the ball category. It's also nice to know that Chuck Hayes is getting some recognition.
Which head coach is the best in the last two minutes of a close game? 1. Gregg Popovich, San Antonio 37.0% 2. Larry Brown, Charlotte 22.2% 3. Stan Van Gundy, Orlando 11.1% 4. Phil Jackson, L.A. Lakers 7.4% 4. Scott Skiles, Milwaukee 7.4% 4. Jerry Sloan, Utah 7.4%
That "best with the least" category seems more like tribute to Morey and a backhanded compliment to Scola, Battier and Chuck.
Why did Okur and Turkoglu get votes in the "best with the least" category? They're both tall guys who can shoot. Lee, Hayes, and Scola seemed to fit better.
I think a better question is : who are the "3.4% of gms" who said Carmelo was a better 3 than Lebron?
One out of thirty is 3.33%. So I would put my money on the Denver Nuggets GM. Im sure it wasn't Joe Dumars
I think I read that they aren't allowed to vote for their own players/teams/personnel. I may have read that wrong, though.
Two GMs (not Morey) voted Chuck Hayes as doing the most with the least, two others voted Scola, and one other voted Battier.
LOL at KG being "tough". I guess picking fights with 6'0" point guards and blindsiding people with illegal screens in the open court gives you some sort of street cred. I know he's a good defender and doesn't back down from anybody so I hope that is the criteria they are using and NOT for other reasons.
Scola has a much better skill set than either of those two, IMO. He can run the floor, score in the paint, shoot the mid-range shot, pass and he's a good rebounder. Hayes should have definitely been No. 1 on that list.
