PrintStill recovering from a weekend trip. I'll be back in the saddle fully tomorrow but in the meantime we have our final semi-final matchup of the Scrubdown. If you missed our first two matchups scroll down slightly and vote!
To add extra interest to this penultimate round, in addition to your vote (cast clearly in the subject line of your comment) we'd like you to answer the following questions if you have the urge:
- Which of these players is better overall?
- Which of these players was more valuable to the Portland teams they played on?
- Which of these players would you rather have on this year's team?
Note that while we're interested in hearing the reasoning behind your answers, that reasoning doesn't bind you to a vote. You're free to vote for any reason, even if that means saying Player A was better in all three categories but you're still going with Player B for other reasons or just because...neener-neener!
The final matchup of the third round: Chris Dudley versus Kermit Washington. Which big man will earn a place in the Scrubdown finals?

Kermit
1) Much, much better player than Dudley
2) Kermit was also very good with Portland – much better than Dudley – although Dudley played more games in PDX
3) Kermit – better player who didn’t have any weaknesses relative to Dudley (just as good a rebounder per 36 min; 20% better FT shooter (and Kermit wasn’t that good at 65%, etc.)
Law of Logical Argument
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
Kermit
a wonderful story of rebounding from a terrible mistake

Dudley
I love Kermit and his redemption story.
1. Dudley, he started at 5 for us prior to Sabas if I recall right.
2. I don’t think either played on great Blazers teams, so I’ll go Dudley for being a big
3. Dudley, given the unresolved injury situation with Joel and Greg
The book, The Punch by John Feinstein is a great read on the Rudy T/Kermit punch.
"He's not your Vydas or my Vydas, he's Arvydas."
Kermit
1. Kermit was the better player overall if only because he actually had offensive capability.
2. Dudley may have been more valuable for his team because he was so good defensively, and they had plenty of guys who could score.
3. I’d rather have Kermit on this squad. Dudley would simply be another Joel Przybilla. Kermit brings a more complete package, and actually would be a terrific backup — a 6th or 7th man that would be quite dangerous.
Dudley
Kermit is my answer for all the ?‘s, but Dudley’s political career inspired me :p

Dudley was a dud as a center
and he will be a dud as a governor.
Kermit
KW=More skilled, better player
CD=More valuable to the Blazers during his tenure
KW=Better fit on this squad, Dudley would just be one more center on a center-rich team (when healthy)…
Kermit....
….IMO easiest one so far…
