pietrus is better right now, actually a little more polished I agree, but I think ariza will be the better ball player. Ariza is already a good decision maker out there, pietrus plays a stupid game. Ariza is a good passer, but he can't create off the dribble at all, not yet at least.. Both are high flyers and play above the rim, but ariza plays with more control and has a nose for the ball.. Ariza's game is much smoother..
I don't understand why you think Ariza is a better decision maker when instead of pulling up for a jumper he goes up for the dunk with his skinny frame and is either blocked or put on the floor. At least Piertrus can shot the 3!
you just answerd your own question, why should ariza take a 3 or a jumper when he knows that is his weaker area, instead of setting for his weakness, he tries to exploit his strength and that is taking it to the hoop, therefore a good decision, now the fact that it does not always work out does not mean it was a bad decision.
Now pietrus as you said can shoot, so I ask, when he is open why does he always try and take it to the hoop and make some superman leap over a defender in position already, if anything that shows lack of good decesion making, especially if he can hit the outside shot..
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
