Travis can hit the corner 3 as well as Martell

Outlaw hit 40 3’s and Webman hit 123. That is a huge difference.

.......................... I’d keep both of them in heavy rotation. Who meshes better with Pryz on the white unit, that’s the key question.

REasons:

1.) I he’s a shooter and helps spread the floor.
2.) He’s better at defense and we’ll want that as our pg and sg aren’t goign to be star stoppers.
3.) Travis didn’t do well as a starter and his low BBIQ could hurt us.
4.) Off the bench travis is a KILLER! He can back up PF and SF and lets us mix things up while keeping the second unit offensively strong. His low BBIQ doesn’t hurt as much.
5.) Off the bench Travis has more energy to expend in the fourth quarter letting the blazers dominate and close out games where other players are tired.
6.) Outlaws offense makes up for Pyz’s lack on the second unit.

He’s wildly overrated by our fans.

Webs has an all star game or three in his future.

thay dont even really have to guard trout, he ruins it for himself. And do you really think he is that unstopable, for most the game he matches up with the bench, and they dont put their better defensive players on him. He is really the SF/ skinny version of Z-Bo…. a blck hole. always looking mostly for his own shot.

agree with your conclusion.

Martell hasn’t proven he can shoot yet, period.

Martell hasn’t proven he can guard anyone yet, period.

On the other hand, Travis hasn’t proven that he’s a reliable scorer yet either. Both of these guys are still huge projects, I’m not sure why we’re in such a rush to hand EITHER ONE a starting spot.

Trading either of these guys is a bit premature. I think we should wait and see how our team plays together with Oden and Rudy before we start trading away our young prospects. We may not need to bring in a vet or point guard, we have Roy. Regardless of whether Roy plays most of his time at the 2 or 1 the ball is usually in his hands either way. I don’t think playing him and Rudy together would hurt us for not having a “true” point out there. Roy is smart enough and learning the NBA game so quickly that a vet might not be needed. These young guys will get plenty of play off experience down the road, and I think we should do what the original plan for this team was and let them grow together and not rush it.

As for Webby and Trout, Webster to me seems like a much more suited starter. Not because Travis has a lack of talent, but because of their styles. Webby seems like the more “by the book” style player who can support the big 3. If he works on his defense he could be one heck of a player who may see an all-star game or 2. Travis brings the energy we need off the bench. I see him as the leader of the 2nd unit, sure he has holes in his game but the energy and willingness to play hard off the bench is something that can be hard to find. Travis wants to succeed, he is going to work hard no matter what and always play the best he can. Plus he’s probably the most fun player to watch on our team. His crazy shots always make me curse at him then praise him in the span of 2 seconds. In short Travis might not be the most skilled player in the world but he’s a player who’s not easy to replace.

Purely on Martell’s superior defense, and he won’t clog the lane and be a dead end on offense like Travis can be at times. Outlaw’s shot selection both frustrates and amazes me…

We don’t need more offense on the starting 5, which the only thing Travis offers, something which he can bring on with the white team.

Speaking of white team, I can picture Jarett on the break from a Joel rebound and outlet, with Travis and Rudy flying down both wings and Frye on the trailer.

Dang we have depth.

is Martell Webster! I’m glad that I’m not the only one that feels this way. It just seems more ridiculous now to suggest starting Travis over the Webman. While Travis is the better scorer, the Webman is more suited to start than the Trout. i.e spider over fish.
