me and you clearly have differing opinions on what wins basketball games. leave it at that
I love defense as much as anyone (trust me), but Noah is not the best all around player. The idea of what Noah WAS might have been (and even then he was limited offensively).

For someone who places ungodly standards on each player, apparently all you have to do is hustle and be like :bryan: when you make a bucket

Noah being limited offensively doesnt negate him being their best "all-around" player. If he's healthy he excels in multiple categories more than any other player on the team. He's still a plus rebounder and defender and a borderline elite passer for a big. Granted the roster isnt very good...and obviously he's limited offensively, which he to his credit recognizes. But rebounding, passing and defense all contribute to winning games more so than high volume, low efficiency scoring does.

Who do you consider a better all around player and why?

He's limited in a lot of areas now. He can only have but so much impact playing 22 minutes a game. High motor and energy? Cool. X-factor? Maybe so. Best all around player on the team is a massive reach considering O'Quinn is MORE productive and plays much less.

I get being a big fan of Noah because of how he plays and looks like he gives a shyt more than anyone else, but let's not stretch things here.

Oquinn has been really good this year too. He'd be a great guy to have if we had an actual good team.

I think that should stick. I don't think Porzingis coming off the bench is a bad thing.
:mindblown: So the knicks should put the possible future of the franchise on the bench for an often injured overpaid veteran who will probably end up in a full body cast before the season is over.
