Steve Francis is overrated, especially around here. He plays point guard, and doesn't do it all that well. There are several point guards that are better, especially for a national/all-NBA team that is loaded with superstars. As a SG, there are SOOO many better players that Steve will never have a chance being compared to them. That is the bottom line. Steve is not a better PG than Bibby, Kidd, Marbury, Nash, etc, and is not a better SG than Allen, Iverson, McGrady, Pierce, Bryant, etc. He is probably the best of the hybrids, so you can complain whenever he is placed behind Davis, Terry, Williams, etc.
Mike Bibby PPG 15.9 RPG 2.70 APG 5.2 EFF + 15.69 steve francis PPG 21.0 RPG 6.20 APG 6.2 EFF + 21.32 i think statisticly francis is better Bibby (even at point). Now better than Iverson?? Um if steve took 25+ shot attemps he damn be better be able to score above 30 every night. Francis i think is also better than Iverson. Infact Iverson does only one thing and that is score. Iverson is so linear that his efficeincy ranking is even lower than steve, when iverson is scoring almost 29 ppg and francis 21... Ill give it to ya that hes better than Kobe and Mcgrady(No Brainer)... But allen and peirce im a bit shaky on...
