he has "smoothness?" let's debate sports here, not hypotheticals like social security reform.
Why should we, outside of standing reach, draft Lamarcus Aldridge over Sheldon Williams?
please use examples of past performances along with how each would fit in with our current team.
Well if "smooth" doesn't work for you, how about "refined offensive game". LA has better offensive potential in the NBA than Shelden. He's got a beautiful mid-range jumper, a solid post-up game, and he moves up and down the floor VERY well (that's where the athleticism comes in).
On the defensive end, Shelden might have been the better college defensive player, but I think once LA puts on about 15 lbs., he will be one of the better defensive PF's in the league within a few years.
