Thread: Ben Wallace or Chris Webber????

    Ben Wallace or Chris Webber????

    Now that we have seen enough of C. Webb to make an accuate assessment, who would you rather have on the Pistons right now?? I'm not asking who's better because they are very different players and the team's style of play changes with either player. I'm asking if you could have one or the other going into the playoffs this year, who would you want??

    I don't think we've seen enough Chris Webber for an accurate assessment. His history of fucking up come playoff time is well known, and I need to see playoff games before I feel really confident in him. The thing that's in his favor is that Ben wasn't a very consistent threat in last year's playoffs, and it's possible that he may not hold up down the playoff stretch. Of course, Webber's history of holding up just in general is spotty at best, and it's quite possible that even the great Arnie Kander can't keep him functional.

    webber will be more help vs dallas and the suns. some other matchups i might rather have ben. not sure which, though. getting webber was landing on our feet after losing a great big man.

    I'm going to go with Webber, and I'll say simply because Webber is no longer expected to carry his team.

    This team has 6 other good player Webber can blend in with, he'll have some bad games, and some really good ones, as does every other Piston.

    I think the fact he no longer commands double teams and the fact he has so many good players around him will hide whatever past weaknesses he's had. He has such a high basketball IQ and seems hungry and has quickly become a team leader, he'll be huge come playoff time.

    Webber at his current salary and Ben at his?
    Find a new slant.

    I took salary into account because it is the reason why we have who we have. I vote C-Webb.
    Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
    Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

    wow, zero votes for Big Ben, lol. i knew we Detroiters were a bitter bunch, but i didn't expect that.

    i chose CWebb because of salaries (as mentioned above) and because I think this year's team is stronger than last year's.

    Chris Webber.

    EDIT: Because I sincerely believe the ability to put the orange thing through the hoop is pretty important if you want to be a good basketball player.

    Agreed, the Pistons are no longer playing 4 on 5 on offense.

    I can't believe this is even a debate. Doesn't the fact that the pistons give up layups and second chance points with alarming regularity concern anyone?

    Come playoff time when defensive intensity increases and easy points are hard to come by this will come back to haunt this team. I wonder whom people would prefer then?

    ps- since when did defensive/rebounding specialists become a detriment to winning? Anyone ever hear of Dennis Rodman or Bruce Bowen before?
