Actually, they definitely didn’t. Everyone loves a smartarse. You think I’m an idiot; that I don’t know Parker is ineligible?

My assertion is based on the preference of much better – proven by their respective stations in the game – adjudicators of talent than either you or I.

The only reason I may be stupid, is because I think I can convince you of Williams’ superiority.

I don’t think Colangelo and Coach K had the option of taking Parker.

“I’d take Deron over (Parker) in a heartbeat” – Celts Fan.

You and the 28 non-partial NBA GMs, Jerry Colangelo and Mike Krzyzewski. Ask ‘em.

i dont know why everyone is all about dwill over TP either, looking at their head to heads from this season,
tp
32 min, 44% shooting, 15.5 pts, 2.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals
DW 36 min, 395 shooting, 15 points, 2.5 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.2 steals.

other then parker being more acurate (everyone says williams is a better shoot but the % shows different) and williams passing better is an assist friendly system (remeber sloan loves those passes for assists, just ask john stockton) they are pretty even statistically.

that said, parker is stronger mentally, as he has showed in the playoffs the last 3 yrs or so.

TP is the one guy on the Spurs that even the Spur haters have to admit isn’t “boring.” I personally don’t find the Spurs boring. They are a half-court, methodical team, but that simple, constant, expert execution at its highest level is fun to watch. I can appreciate it anyway. I think Tony gets into the Hall one day (too much on his resume already at only 25, only injuries or a huge falloff after Timmy – I don’t see it – could stop him.)

Having said all of that though, I’d take Deron over him in a heartbeat (to defend AB though, you can definitely make the argument even though I personally am on the other side.)

Nobody is saying that Parker isn’t a very good player, but everyone is saying that Deron Williams is a better player. Deron is a better passer, defender and shooter. Parker is a slightly better penetrator and is a better finisher around the hoop. Parker is a defensive liability too with his small size. In a head to head matchup Deron has the advantage.
