*Swish* Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Both players are explosive, energetic and good defenders. But who's the better player? I'm taking Josh Smith because he's younger and also because he's a better defender. such a great shot blocker already got 1000 blocks. He's the youngest player that already got 1000 blocks!

kingfish Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Right now id rather take Wallace. Better shooter and can give you great rebounding from the small forward position, and you can use him to stick on guys like Lebron, Melo, and other elite SF's.

JWaLL Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Shot blocking doesn't make someone a better defender. JaVale McGee blocks shots left and right but his overall defense is atrocious. I'd take Wallace because of his ability to truly lock down players, and he has the ability to grab an uncanny amount of rebounds at his height. He is also a better shooter, and seems to be an overall more reliable offensive weapon. The only edge Smith has over Wallace is shot blocking and dunking in my opinion.

Check my Stats Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Shot blocking doesn't make someone a better defender. yes it can lol. it isn't the end all be all but blocking shots is a pretty big part of defense, look at Dwight Howard, not a terrific man defender but his blocking disrupts entire offenses, same with Camby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace blocks less shots than Smith, yet is widely acclaimed as a better defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Josh Smith if I was in rebuilding mode, but if I had a winning now team it would be Greald Wallace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenIverson#1fan Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Josh Sith. A much better defender. Is slightly less better than GForce on scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Josh Sith. A much better defender. Is slightly less better than GForce on scoring. http://i33.tinypic.com/2qb4xfs.jpg ??? And I'm taking Wallace 10 times out of 10. Far superior on both sides of the ball, especially defense. Blocked shots is one of the most overrated stats when trying to measure someones defensive ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
