Best shooter -
This is tough. Have to go with LaFrentz. He usually has a high FG% and can hit the 3. Takes good shots also. Doesn't force anything.
Best Dunker –
Another hard one. Could be any of Davis, Allen, Green. Green, I haven't seen a lot, (no NBA experience yet) although that one dunk in the summer league was just sick. Have to go with Davis. He has ups and can take off far from the basket
Best penetrator –
Banks, no contest. He basically can get by anybody in the league just on quickness alone. Just wish he could finish better. Pierce is strong to the basket as well, but if you are measuring pure handle and penetration, Marcus Banks.
Most exciting –
Tony Allen by far. (to me anyway) Davis too with his alleys and swooping dunks, but if you had to pick one, I would say T Allen, with his put back dunks from nowhere! I saw him one time take off from just inside where the foul line is on the corner and put back a dunk over 2-3 defenders. Definitely the most exciting to me.

Toughest = Perk
we don't need to do fastest
Best = Al J for now
Best passer = probably Delonte
Best rebounder = Al J
Does the most with the least = maybe Delonte, maybe J Reed
Does the least with the most = Blount

Shooter- Delonte... This one was tough between PP and West
Dunker- Green.... GG no doubt. This kid is flat-out SICK. I really hope he enters in the dunk competition this year.
Penetrator- Pierce... he does it with ease, TA in close second place
Exciting player- Tony Allen... I love to watch TNT. He definately gets the nod on this one
Good idea for doing this DM. I really enjoyed it.

Best "shooter" on the team: Delonte West Smooth as silk. Best "dunker" on the team: Tiny Archibald They all good. Best "penetrator" on the team: Paul Pierce Just look at the number of FTs he gets. Most "exciting" player to watch: All the guys in green. I get excited every chance I get to see them play.  |

Tony Allen really gets my vote there. Ricky isn't even that explosive. I saw Allen do it on a blowout game vs Indiana in the playoffs. We got a hell of a future for sure plus Gerald Green coming in. I don't know where to begin. Green and Allen on the same team will be something once they are fully developed. |

Thanks, E-Mac. Glad you find this entertaining. We've got to keep ourselves from getting bored. Just over a month to go before preseason starts. Training camp should be opening soon.
Best shooter: I say Delonte West. He's got good balance and a pretty consistent looking release. Guys who are compact seem to be able to replicate their shots easier because there's less movement. Guys with long arms tend to get out of sync.
Best dunker on the team: Prior to the draft, it would have been Tony Allen. As of right now, Gerald Green wins, hands down. I'm with the rest of you--his dunks are "sick" (yeah, I know. It sounds funny coming from a nerd like me ;D ). This kid needs to enter the dunk contest or else he is neglecting the entire basketball world from seeing one of its best showman's in the game today.
Best penetrator: Tony Allen. In time, it could be Gerald Green. But for now, Tony Allen is the best penetrator on the team. He's super silky and he's very shifty. He can stop on a dime, do a complete change of direction, and excelerate in a heartbeat. He's very good with the dribble when he's penetrating and with every step, he gathers more speed. Pierce is pretty good, but slow, and Ricky Davis is not good.
Most exciting: Tony Allen. You've got to keep your eye on him because he's going to make you stand up and say "oooh!!!" at least once per game. But Allen is going to have company when Green gets playing time.

Best shooter : Raef seems to be more consistent, better FG%, very good range and better shot selection.
Best Dunker : I will go with the Rook - G- Money ! Green not only get up the highest for a dunk, but he dunks with A-U-T-H-O-R-I-T-Y !!! Man, this kid has no fear ! He reminds me of Dominique Wilkins - every dunk will be passionate !
Best Penetrator : I'd say Will Bynum. He was an absolute monster in Summer league. He not only is fast (like Banks) but also has excellent finish. He can score and he is strong enough to get his shot off.
Most exciting : My man, Ricky Davis. You can always count on him to add excitement the game. He is like a child on the playgound ! They will play with all the toy equipment! He brings the full arsenal. The other guys play in spurts - Ricky seems always excited !

Best Shooter- Pierce
Best Dunker- G-money, although TA and Ricky definately deserve to be up there
Best penetrator-Pierce
Most exciting-I personally like watching Big Perk. this is really tough though because there are so many young and exciting players. West, Jefferson, G-money,
Allen in particular.
