AND very clutch. in his days with sacramento, with all that ball movement it helped him average about 22 ppg one season.. AS A SHOOTING PG! he directed the offense and still got his own buckets.. he was probably the mvp of that sacramento team, with the expection of peja(peja was a beast with sacramento, his shot was incredible.. and in a system where every1 could shoot.. and webber commanaded a double team, he really got his shot off) i would take bibby easily bibby.

Seriously, how often do top talents like Davis lead his team to 19 whopping wins? I know he had injury issues, but still ... that is disgusting. Clips with Davis last year: 19-63

How could they possibly be worse with Bibby?

Seriously, how often do top talents like Davis lead his team to 19 whopping wins? I know he had injury issues, but still … that is disgusting.

When you start questioning a player's work ethic and will to be a valuable contributor to his team, that's bad news. Yes Boom has more talent and physical ability, but Bibby has been as consistent as gravity. Bibby has added the leadership and stability to the pg the hawks need. Gimme Bibby.

The man is blessed with physical abilities very few have and wastes them by not working on his body. In 4 short (or long depending on the teams point of view), he's managed to be on 3 different teams, feud with each coach, make the play-offs once, miss huge chunks of time and not make the team consistently better (not even a mere 2 years in a row). Yeah, Golden State did Dallas in that year, but Denver shocked Seattle years ago and they didn't do squat after it either. Bibby had a food 3 or 4 year run in Sacramento where his game meshed with the superior talent he was teamed with. Before and after that stretch he's been marginal at best. Actually, this debate has just depressed me. That we’re even having this conversation is a scathing indictment on Davis’ concentration and concern.

If Baron would fix his broke ass jumper it wouldn't even be close. Bibby has probably had a better career than Davis though Davis, but not by much.

His one failing is his inability to stay in front of other guards on defense. Baron was an explosive scorer who could get to the rim at will (emphasis on was), has a good (though streaky) jump shot, a motor-mouth, and also has his defensive issues. Bibby HAS carried his teams when counted on to do so, and so has Baron. In the last 5 years, how many times has either been to the playoffs? You can't tell me that it's been solely because of the players around them. That's just not enough. Baron can't keep himself on the floor, while Bibby has played through more injuries than I'm sure he'd care to count. For consistency, leadership, and the over-achieving factor, I take Bibby, each and every time....
