Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1787424, member: 2585"] Cute. I didn't say it doesn't matter. Nice try though ;). I said: When looking at a player's potential spot in the NBA, offense - specifically offense that translates - will get you in the league quicker and teams will give you more leash. Offensive role players > defensive role players. Especially if your measurements are solid (like MR's). As to your examples, Roberson couldn't be on the floor for very long UNTIL he started hitting shots. Then he played more. He's also an elite defender. Shumpert's D is vastly overrated. He's a guy who should be great on D due to physical attributes, but thinks he's a good offensive player and plays pretty bad team defense. [/QUOTE]
