Poll: Who would you take moving forward Randle or Smart

[Celtics18]

Randle proved last night how bad of a miss this was. The guy is an absolute beast.

[Csfan1984]

I'll take the +22 guy over the +2 still.

[Celtics18]

Marcus Smart scored an efficient 13 points on 8 shot attempts with 5 assists and only 1 turnover.  He added 2 rebs, 2 steals, and a block.  He was 3 of 6 from deep.

As mentioned above, he was +22 for the game.  Of course, as always, he was a monster defensively.

I didn't see the Lakers game, but I have my doubts that Julius Randle looked better than our starting point guard last night.

He didn't and the Lakers lost. Just expect cb883 to always whine about this. Any time Randle has even a moderately good game I'm sure he'll let us all know.

In the meanwhile, the Cs are 1-0 and Marcus Smart is clearly one of the leaders of this team on and off the court.

Yeah but when you look at the team as a whole it is +5 vs. +3, you know a bit closer and one guy didn't play with a guy that took 24 shots and made only 8 of them.

and one guy isn't required to score a lot because the rest of his teammates are ineffective at it.

Also, did he force 1 or 2 offensive fouls on the other team?

First game of the year and cb is back like clockwork... Truly amazing stuff. I actually have a theory about him. cb stands for Celticsblog, so it's almost as though his user is a satirical persona of the arguments against this blog, that we always overrate other team's prospects, down our own, make up ridiculous trades, etc as shown in his posts. Seriously he was and might still be calling Marcus Smart Marcus Banks. It's just comical...

[GreenFaith1819]

Randle's a nice player, but choosing him isn't Smart.

Nice.  That's a Smart post.

Randle is an all-star talent while Marcus has the ceiling of a nice role player. You green teamers are delusional! If you had to draft all over again 99% of you would take Randle. I'm just telling it how it is. I sat here last year and said "role player" Rondo all season and people on this board swore up and down he's a star player. Who was right?

[dreamgreen]

Have to wait and see Randle play, which isn't high on my list do to my hatred of the Fakers and Kobe. But after that lets see him play for a year like Smart already has done.

I don't think that anyone was saying that post-knee surgery Rondo has ever performed like a star player.  Some of us did say that we thought he might be able to get back to being a star player.

Alas, it hasn't happened yet.  The days of Rondo being an NBA star may, unfortunately, be behind him. 

I'm still hoping he can get it back, though.
