I think the only significant thing AK was better than was as a help defender. AK was a great help defender in the NBA. He was probably a better man defender than Amare as well but AK was never that good of a man on man defender. Amare was a solid defender pre injury, he was also a very smart player. Amare was also really good that first season with the Knicks until they traded for Carmelo.

Was this English?
I dont think its close between AK and Amare. Amare was a better player in my mind but I know a lot of Jazz fans really love AK and thought of him as a really great player. I have no problem with him being picked. I find it odd how many picks are mocked in here. Amare might not be a player you like but he was one of the top players in the NBA at various points in his career. Amare's career was somewhat derailed by injuries. Aks career was derailed by pouting.
Have to field a 10 man team.
No, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're referencing. You have to give him your last two picks.
It can't be a 3-for-1 deal with picks. You have to send an even amount of players/picks back in any deal.

OK, that's what I thought. Thank you.
As a scorer, peak Amare was better than AK
How many bigs in this draft were never a top 10 rebounder? For his size and athleticism, AS's rebounding was pedestrian. Compare AK's rebounding to other 3s and compare AS's to other 5s.
AK's top year in WS was 11.6, Amare's was 11.3
TS% yes, that obviously goes to the big who shoots mostly <3 feet from basket. I probably would not use that matric to prove that DeAndre was better than LeBron, however.
Career FT%, Amare was indeed 0.007 higher than AK. Touche.
What part of it are you having trouble understanding?
Umm, I didn't mock your AK pick until you mocked my Amare pick...
But it's not really close to me Amar'e is a much better player.
Seriously? This guy is still on the board?

Amare's best two year of WS were 14.6 twice...
Amare had better mid range shooting numbers than AK. Most of AKs shooting was also around the rim. He did shoot some threes but fairly poorly.
Amare got better at shooting FTs. His first 2 years were bad but after than he shot a good percentage. Ak on the other hand had his best season shooting from the FT line as a rookie and then went downhill from there fairly steadily. Just another sign that he was mentally weak and lazy. He was much more of a could have been good than a was good.
Also what was AKs best playoff year? Should we compare those numbers? Or was his playoff seasons past his prime? I guess AK does have more post playoff interview cries.

The part where you think I drafted him. And the part where you think I forgot an apostrophe. I didn't. I simply didn't put one in his dumb name. Just like you didn't. And Cy didn't. And no one else in here did until you just recently decided to place it there.
