Start-Bench-Cut(DPOY edition):Draymond, Rodman, and Ben Wallace

[BigMoneyGrip]

NO HE CANT



​

He will shoot the open 3… Wallace or Rodman wouldn’t dare venture out the paint

 

[TOAD99]

The way dray can run an offense guarantees he’s not getting cut

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Draymond is definitively the better player of the three in nearly every way. Only hating ass nxggas would cut him, which comes as no surprise by the posters who already have.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Start Rodman- Best low post defender and rebounder Can get opponents out their game psychologically

Bench Green- great faciliator, can hit the open 3, can switch everything

Cut Big Ben- I mean Rodman gives me everything Ben does and better. Except maybe the shot blocking. I can live w/out that.

Where was this in the 95 WCF?

He doesn’t run an offense, he facilitates. It’s a difference. He makes the right decisions almost everytime so I give him credit for that. But nobody “runs” that GSW offense. They all just play their part/role and execute it.

 

[The God Poster]

Ben Wallace was the cornerstone of a defense
which held perennial NBA championship teams to 68 points.

I legitimately believe if you replace Ben Wallace with draymond the warriors win playoff games 115-70. Who to cut is pretty easy imo

Considering how important he is to their Defense & Offense absolutely not.

This thread going how I figured tho

 

[...and some waffle fries]

Ben is Wallace is way more athletic than Draymond.

Ben Wallace was way more dominate on the defense end.

Im taking 9 pts 15 rebs 2 assts 2 steals 4 blocks all day.

There is some recency bias and guys under 30 who arent aware of Ben Wallace dominace saying he needs to be cut.

Start: Rodman
Bench: Wallace
Cut: Green

Pistons fans, y’all.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Start: Draymond just off of his offensive versatility and ability to guard 1-5

Bench: Dennis Rodman, that rebounding is to transcendent to pass up.

Cut: Ben Wallace

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

You gotta cut Wallace he wasn’t offensively solid at all

Rodman and Dray you can interchange from bench to starter so it’s a tie there

tell me about this solid Draymond and rodman offensive game please

Do you really think recency bias is the problem in this thread, and on this board, in general?



And for the record: Ben wasn't more dominate than Dray on defense, let alone "way more dominate". Draymond is essentially the evolution of him on that end of the floor. He shaped his approach to the game watching Ben -

My basketball career then took me to an AAU team in Detroit -- called The Family -- where I met someone that I still consider my brother, Jordan Dumars. When I met Jordan, he took me to my second-ever Pistons game and the first since I was 8 years old. That is when I had the opportunity to meet Ben and I quickly figured out how and why he was one of the most feared players to grace the court at that time in the NBA.

Ben had an incredible work ethic. Not only did he work out extremely hard every day, but more importantly, he had the heart of a lion. It was amazing because he didn't say much, but everyone knew that he meant business.

The day came where I was able to build a relationship with Ben and, to this day, he continues to be a big brother to me. Here we are about 10 years later and a common story line has surfaced --- how am I able to do what I do while undersized, just like Ben. I refuse to be outworked and I consider myself to have the heart of a lion. As I sit now, I begin to ponder, "Why was Ben's path directed to Detroit, where I could watch every game he played?"

The only answer I can come up with is that God placed him there because a kid from Saginaw was watching with a dream of playing in the NBA. This kid would also be considered undersized, but had that similar drive and a heart that never stops pumping with determination to never be denied. It is only fitting that with my return to Michigan only a day away to play in my home state against the Detroit Pistons, Big Ben's jersey is being retired. I feel it is only right to say THANK YOU.

Thank you, Mr. Wallace, for showing me that it is possible to make it to the NBA and wreak havoc while being undersized! Hopefully, there is a kid watching me and wondering the same things I did about you, realizing that man does not have the ability to judge what's in another man's heart!

Congrats, Big Ben.
