Leon Powe's name does not belong with this group of scrubs, with apologies to a few of the guys who I like and did an ok job while with team.

Exactly -- take Powe out there -- Leon Powe wins the game for the White Team.

I'd take the green team.
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

White team wins. Leon would be the only one playing and the rest of the sorry scrubs would be on the bench watching. Unless this was a D league game.
Peace through Tyranny

I'd replace B. Walker and Powe with Orien Greene and Justin Reed.

If you don’t want to win, don’t want to play team basketball, and it’s more about you then you’re probably not a Celtic." Doc 2010

Walker is on the level of these teams.


A healthy Powe is not.

A healthy Powe is an oxymoron.  TP to Brickowski.

Walker is still in the league and putting up 20 points a night. The other two are not. I stand by my assertion that Greene and Reed are more deserving of this distinction at this time. Down the road, however :-\

Gerald Green accomplished more then Walker at this point.

That may be true, but we are not discussing Gerald's worthiness. Did Greene or Reed accomplish more than Walker has? IMO, both of them still deserve to be on this list more than Walker. Listen, I'm not saying Walker won't be a bust in the future, but he's playing fine right now, he's still in the Association, and he hasn't proven to be a bust yet. The others have shown they are bust and are thus more deserving to be on *this* team.
