He's a good player and he's tough and he's a guy thats going to look at tape of every possesion and figure out what he could do better to defend him next time.Cosmic wrote:AnubisADL wrote:Lets not jump to conclusions now folks but Douglas has come back to reality. Thats the worst way to judge a players value, by just looking at his stats. I have league pass so I see where GJ would make a pass that led to another pass for an easy hoop ect. He also doesn't make bad decsion down the stretch of tight games, granteed TD has had some impressive clutch performences down the stretch of a few games. ESPN had a nice little INTERVIEW with Billups early in the season, and he explain what it took to become the player he is today, and for the most part it was him having the right TEAM MATES, The right coach's, he was big on saoking up info, considering he bounce around the league quite a bit in his first few seasons and by the time he joined Detriot he had the right supporting cast of VETs and hell of a coach in Larry B. I blame a lot of our inconsistancy on our Looser veteren players,these guys have really done a lousy job at teaching guys like Gallo and Chandler the right way to play. ES

![]() I like Douglas. I especially like his determination and I think he'll raise his game in the coming years. It's hard to compare Douglas and Jennings, partly because of how different they are as players and partly because Jennings is so young. But we did get good value for Dolan's three million. There's no question about that.

![]() If Douglas turnes into a Billups clone I will be ecstatic! If Toney can D like Billups, be a floor general like Billups and be clutch like Billups I am Good.

I think he'll d like Billups and he'll have Billups floor leadership, but not be a floor general like Billups because he can't pass as well. As far as being clutch, well we'll see. It wouldn't surprise me. He seems like that kind of player. |

![]() Chauncey Billups is not exactly John Stockton or Steve Nash either. He's not a great passer or playmaker. You won't see Billups make behind the back passes or or no-look passes in traffic. Billups get's the majority of his assists on drive-and-kicks and in transition. I have no doubts Toney Douglas can develop into a solid enough passer and playmaker. I already think he's there. I think Douglas is closer to being a PG than being a SG right now. When a young guard has the ability to score or shoot the ball, I think immediately most people lable him a combo guard or a SG and completely ignore his passing and playmaking ability. Douglas has PG skills.

I have no doubts Toney Douglas can develop into a solid enough passer and playmaker. I actually already think he's already there. I think Douglas is closer to being a PG than being a SG right now.

Douglas has PG skills. I'm thinking more Andre Miller for Douglas and not so much Billups. He is more creative like Miller is. But yet strong like Billups. Toney is a TANK. http://popcornmachine.net/ A must-use tool for NBA stat junkies!
