Hoopshype names Top 25 Players

[HawksFan87]

Smoove was # 25, and Joe was # 16

25. Josh Smith

Smith is the most versatile defensive forward in the league. He can change a game on both ends with lightning speed. His ability to elevate and block shots as well as tip-in dunks around the basket is a tremendous weapon. He should have been an All-Star this season and should have a breakout playoff season for the Hawks.

16. Joe Johnson

Johnson moves up two spots because he has evolved into not only a consistent scorer, but a leader as well. The Atlanta Hawks are flying under the radar, but that will change because I expect them to get to the conference finals against Cleveland. There is not one shooting guard in the East that can deal with his physical presence. That allows Johnson to get any shot he wants come crunch time.

Smoove should be higher than KG on that list. Matter of fact KG shouldn't even be on the list.

JJ a leader??? :laugh:

[uga2006]

You could argue that Dwight Howard should be ahead of Wade and so should Durant. Wade can't shoot a 3 to save his life and he's not a great jump shooter as well.

Smoove should be higher than KG on that list. Matter of fact KG shouldn't even be on the list.

Agreed. He's the only one that really shouldn't be on the list. I'll take Granger, Lee, Manu, Tyreke, or even Horford over him.

I would move Al Horford in the top 25 and switch JJ with Roy.

[niremetal]

JJ a leader??? :laugh:

You've gotta be impressed with someone who has made just 128 posts and already has a -69.

[Popeye]

Smoove > KG

JJ > ROy

:cant believe:

No. Just...no.

If Joe Johnson was half as good as some of the people on this board think he is, the team wouldn't have routinely been beaten by 20-something in the Orlando games.

Yeah because Joe Johnson plays center...

I didn't realize Joe played center to guard Howard and small forward to guard the shooters on the wings at the same time. :thumbsdownsmileyanim:

LOL @ Joe doesn't play center.

He plays shooting guard. And not nearly as well as some people think. He plays at the level of someone who deserves a max deal maybe once every 10 games.
