I think it'd be appropriate for a Thread Title change though, who TF cares about Barnes ex, we're trying to learn about the difference between Athletes and Skill players.

I just realized that Duncan has met 3 presidents and if he sticks around 2 more years, could possibly meet his 4th. Incredible.

Oh i see that yall are discussing athleticism vs skill.
Great players possess both, some are just stronger in one than the other. Kobe and mj were very high in both. Lebron is more athleticism than skill. People automatically think that's taking a shot when it's merely stating fact. Lebron is skilled, of course, he's got one of the softest finishes I've ever seen from someone his size, but sons basketball mechanics are suspect. Dude is probably the second most athletic person in our generation, behind Bo Jackson.

Cp3 isn't/wasn't athletic? He was always one of the quickest guys in the league. And then there's this

If you can't understand there's no point in explaining. Sometimes I forget I'm talking to "the starters". It's all good dough[/Video]

@ the startersNah CP is definitely Athletic, so is Randle.
I was really only disagreeing with Randle being more Athletic than Ibaka, and kind of your definition of Athletic, but CP is definitely Athletic
Saying Randle is more Athletic than Ibaka is like saying Curry is blacker than Tony Snell

Pre-Season SG Rankings:
1. Harden
2. Klay
3. Wade
4. Jimmy Butler
5. Derozan
6. Redick
7. Danny Green
8. Monta
9. Beal
10. Korver
I fully expect Beal and Oladipo to improve and be in that 5-7 range by the end of the year though.

Beal will be top 5 by the end of the year...may even make a strong push to get in the top 3 (if he can stay healthy and also if the Wizards are staying true to opening up the offense).

I never said he wasn't/isn't athletic
The conversation for most athletic pg would involve guys like: Westbrook, heathy rose, wall, Bledsoe, Lavine if they were still trying to play him there
Maybe young guys like mudiay or russell.. Nate Robinson was a crazy athlete

Check the sig. Gordon Hayward is in my top 5 favorite players. Wall, Cp3, Blake, Hayward, Rose.
But he's an SF. I think he will make the All Star game this year. 20 5 & 5. Boy been feeling himself since he got that young chick, and the modern cut
