Which player would you rather have on your team?

[Darkwing Duck]

It might and it might not. Career numbers can be misleading as well. Imagine if you played this game with Vince Carter or Baron Davis' career numbers.

The career number effect may also go both ways. It may demonstrate direction of change as well as historical productivity.

In any event, if you're a long time member of the board you know a) why these two players were selected and b) why it's funny regardless of how objectively "fair" it is.

You added age, which would negate that factor.

I was lurking at the time, so I don't remember the poster, but once I figured out the two players, I vaguely remembered something about some poster ogling over player 1.

Oh, and incidentally, I have both of them on one of my fantasy teams. In fact, I have a murderer's row of point guards on that particular team. Those two players, Jrue Holiday, Rajon Rondo, and, of course (since no murderer's row of PGs is complete without this player), Jimmer Fredette.

Who is younger? Who has a better future? Why am I paying somebody $15MM? Who puts butts in the seats?

The one with the lower value in "years old" is younger.

Gotcha. So player 1 looks like the better deal.

So I vaguely remember from the old board - I guess it must have been you - someone was completely enamored with "Player 1," much like honz was pimping Hayward to us before the draft 2 years ago.

I'm trying to remember your name from years past, though. Was it something to do with a mean striped cat?

As I mentioned in the other post, I was only a lurker back then.

Yeah, I hate guys that jack up three pointers. Sometimes, though, you just have to grin and bear it. A Bear-it-jack, if you will.

You're very astute my good sir!

And as for the other player, he's just a fierce competitor. As they say, whenever there's de will, there's de way to get it done.

As many of you have sussed out Player 1 is Jarrett Jack and Player 2 is Deron Williams.

I believe TuffTiger/O Gatinho should bookmark the results of this poll and claim victory since he spilled mountains of digital ink on this board over the summer prior to the Deron Williams draft arguing his case for Jack as our draft pick.
