Fortson vs. Nobles

[1highhog]

I'm just wanting to know if anyone has the game stats of both?  I know Nobles only has played 3 games, but I just wanted a comparison.

fortson hasn't played yet this season, are you wanting career stats?

[heathtits]

Fortson is more dangerous individually. As far as a team comparison, no telling until SEC starts. I want Nobles scoring more though personally to open things up.

Nobles is a better decision maker, Fortson is a better play maker.

It's your call whether you like 15-20 points, 4-7 assists and anywhere from 2-8 TOs a game vs 7-10 points, 6-8 assists and 2-4 TOs a game.

And it's really not that hard to find stats yourself. Here's a link.

Nobles-http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=45873

That took me all of 8.5 seconds, which is less time than it took you to create a thread and respond to yourself 3 times.

Well doggy, thank you heathtits for providing the helping hand.

[1highhog]

really, I appreciate the help, and believe it or not, everyone is not as fast and or know how to look up such stuff as you do, I know I didn't, so that's why I asked for help.

[heathtits]

No problem, now you know.

But yeah, hard to say who is better thus far. I need a full season to tell who is best for the team.

Looks like Nobles has a legit shot to takeover, but he is a Freshman which pretty much is a given he will have a few 5-10 TO games down the line.

Fortson is Allen Iverson and Nobles is Rajon Rondo .  Not saying these kids are as good as those two, but their roles on our team are the same roles that those guys play on their NBA squads.

[1highhog]

Good comparison of the two.

Not saying I prefer Fortson, but honestly we need him to open up the floor for Clarke and to put Wash in position to score by driving and attracting the double and dumping off.  Anybody that can't see that Fortson made Wash better last year hasn't watched Wash play this year. I really like Nobles, but we need another scorer out there currently.

Nobles is a better point guard then Fortson, simply because he is more stable and consistant.

Fortson is very streaky, sometimes out of control,
and considers himself the cog and main scorer of the team, especially in clutch situations.

Fortson does not take pride in setting up other people to score, as he wants to score himself.

Although, it has just been three games, I have not seen that in Nobles.  He just wants the team to win, whether a good pass assist or scoring, and he takes care of the ball.

At the start of last season, I predicted Fortson would be the best ever at PG, but I have since changed my mind.

However, if Pelphrey believes  Fortson is the best, I am pulling for him and will be one of his biggest supporters.

Where in the world is Fortson these days, receiving psychiatric care at a homeless shelter?

And you have no idea why people are always attacking your credibility as a poster.  What was the point of the above response blue35?  You just fouled up a perfectly good discussion. 

And for what....

Everyone is welcome to have a opinion but this was nothing more than a cheap shot?  All I can say to you is STRIKE 2..... one more and you don't have to worry about posting on this board or any other for quite sometime say Spring Football Practice!

You guys generaliza a lot.  What did Fortson average 7 ast in the exhibitions? He was pumped everytime he made a real nice pass, and last year whenever he'd said guys up with no looks, bounce passes, or oops the same.  The guy likes to score, and thinks he is probably one of our go to scorers. I get that, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like setting people up as well.  Fortson brings nice things, and so does Nobles.  It would be nice to have that depth if and when he comes back.

[coglesby]

Fortson turns the ball over too much.

My question is, just where is Fortson? The reports are that he is suspended and is not at practice. That indicates that he is off the team. There should be absolutely nothing wrong with those questions. I think that you are way out of line in making threatening comments such as you have made.

Your intent is obviously to protect Fortson. Your words would indicate that you have more than a passing interest in the man.  Comments about Fortson are valid because he is a public figure and your accusation that I was "just making a cheap shop" is unfounded and is hereby denied. I was unaware "that so many people were attacking my credibility", as you have said.  If you have that kind of information please send it to me so that I may access it for the elements of defamation.  It appears to me that it is you who is trying to make the "cheap shot"

Apparently he came to Pelphrey to ask for help with a problem he was having.  Now he is spending time (apparently concurrent with the suspension) getting help for his problem.  There are no indications what the problem is so the imagination can run wild.  I'm sure Pelphrey would address it if he could but there are certain laws regarding the privacy of students.

The way Fortson is going, theres not going to be a fortson vs Nobles battle.....hard to compete with someone if you aint even on the team.  Looking more and more like Fortson may be another bad apple who John has to throw away.
