Olajuwon or Robinson? Part 2

September 1st 2008 06:07
Just for a bit of fun...again...

If you had the opportunity to start an NBA franchise with either Hakeem Olajuwon or David Robinson, which player would you pick and why? To further help you make your decision, I will compare their career playoff averages in this post. More will be coming in future posts to help with your decision.

So far, Hakeem Olajuwon leads David Robinson by 1 point (4 to 3).

The following formula will be used to decide the winner in career playoff averages:

The winner in these categories - FG%, 3P%, FT%, OFF, DEF, RPG, APG, SPG, BPG and PPG - will be awarded 1 point for each. The losing player in these categories will receive 0 points for each.

The player with the higher turnover and personal foul average will be deducted 1 point for each.

If there is a tie in a category, then both players will receive 0 points.

Finally, the player with the most points wins.

So here it goes:

Career Playoff Averages

Hakeem Olajuwon
G: 145 (N/A)
GS: 140 (N/A)
MPG: 39.6 (N/A)
FG%: .528 (1)
3P%: .222 (1)
FT%: .719 (1)
OFF: 3.20 (1)
DEF: 7.90 (1)
RPG: 11.20 (1)
APG: 3.2 (1)
SPG: 1.69 (1)
BPG: 3.26 (1)
TO: 2.92 (-1)
PF: 3.90 (-1)
PPG: 25.9 (1)

Points = 8

David Robinson
G: 123 (N/A)
GS: 123 (N/A)
MPG: 34.3 (N/A)
FG%: .479 (0)
3P%: .100 (0)
FT%: .708(0)
OFF: 3.00 (0)
DEF: 7.60 (0)
RPG: 10.60 (0)
APG: 2.3 (0)
SPG: 1.23 (0)
BPG: 2.54 (0)
TO: 2.28 (0)
PF: 3.40 (0)
PPG: 18.1 (0)

Points = 0

So the winner for career playoff averages is Hakeem Olajuwon. Hakeem Olajuwon also leads the overall score by 12 to 3. Stay tuned for more.

If you had the opportunity to start an NBA franchise with either Hakeem Olajuwon or David Robinson, which player would you pick and why? To help you make your decision, I will compare their career regular season averages in this post. More will be coming in future posts to help with your decision.

The following formula will be used to decide the winner in career regular season averages:

Serious about Sessions

August 29th 2008 07:39
Is Ramon Sessions, a 2007 second round draft pick, a point guard diamond in the rough? I seriously believe so. In only 17 games for the Milwaukee Bucks in his rookie season, he posted averages of 8.1 ppg, 7.5 apg, 3.4 rpg and 1.0 spg. The type of numbers that show a great deal of potential in a rookie point guard.

Sessions numbers were slightly inflated due to the fact that he played these games at the the end of the 07-08 regular season, when playoff teams were resting star players. However, they were still impressive none the less. This was especially true in the final three games of the Bucks season, where he averaged 19 ppg, 17 apg and 7 rpg while shooting 60 percent from the field. In one of these games he had an impressive 24 assists.

Sessions was assigned to the Development League for the majority of the season, hence the reason why he played in only 17 games. The time spent in the D-League did him wonders as he played a starring role for the Tulsa 66ers.

Drafted 56th overall out of Nevada, Sessions has come into the NBA well under the radar. But some second round draft picks of the past have proved everybody wrong (think Gilbert Arenas or Michael Redd) and Sessions may be the next one to do so. At 6' 3 or 191cm, he has good height for a point. He is very good at setting up scoring opportunities for his teammates, is a solid shooter and also a solid athlete. A true point guard in every sense of the word.

Even with Mo Williams being traded to Cleveland, Sessions will have to compete for playing time next season with Charlie Bell, Tyronn Lue and Luke Ridnour. There will be plenty of assists to dish out next season also, with Redd at the two, Jefferson on the wing and the improving Bogut down low.

Will Ramon Sessions be an All Star one day? A permanent starter? It is too early to tell after only 17 NBA games under his belt, but from what I've seen thus far he certainly has the potential to become a very good player.

Check out highlights of his 24 assist game HERE.
