M'og....you gotta be a south fan....kosmider, hicks, riches, byrt, blight. these guys are all good players, but not the best in their position over the last 5 years, hicks did not even start for a while with south.

Couldn't possibly have Thompson or Kent in there. Bauer should be there - probably as a starter.

surely you dont mean the kosmider or riches from south....surely not....oh panther you crack me up!!

Name another point guard who distributes the ball better than Kosmider?
Let me guess your one of those people who think the quality of a player is solely dependant on how many points you score??? Who would you take out of Stephon Marbury and Steve Nash or Marbury and Kidd???

No south player would be on thge list from recent times. Get off it Panther.

Steve Nash.

But I'd take Jason Williams or Reggie as a PG from the ABL stocks.

Brad Davis as a SG option would beat options from South.

C'mon Isaac, look up the stats and see how many times Kos has led the league in assists or in top three at least compared to Reggie and J Will. How many times have those guys won the golden hands award???
And which anonymous are you??? Post under a name so we can see what crap you contribute!

panther, come on you cant be serious....surely a sign of a good point guard is someone who makes his team better...south finals appearances in the last 5 years...zilcho!!....i think kosmider is possibly the best passer in the league but there are quite a few better point guards. as for riches.....he played one season wich was good.....not in the same league as cioffi, or mckay or another 2 or 3 in my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Boles has played 3 or the past 5 years, which would make him eligable for this discussion i reckon.

Panther, have to agree with everyone else on the Riches and Kosmider call. Riches only one year, and Danni, athough a proven point guard at this level over a number of years wouldn't be high on my list.

brad davis kills me. I dont think he should get a nod at the 2 but his numbers are good. I really beleive brad davis can be easily held in a game... he had a great few years being scottie pip when JH was playing up there and yeah he has continued to put up numbers... but i just think he's easily stopped.

- and adam peck should be in the best PG's of all abl time baby!!!

1. Kosmider (true pg - pass b4 shoot) / lieth

3. J holmes

4. Dix

5. ???????? rebound wise - kent

that's all part of his mystique, BD quietly goes about his business, but at the end of the game he's scored 20-25 points. but your right, he played a great backseat role to Jacob playing a critical part of their success last season.

I'm down with Pecker as the best PG!!!!

Benny Hodges - A living basketball hero! The ultimate player. He does it all. No Flash, No Pazzaz! Just gets it handled.

D!!! What are you on? The Water Boy! He'd be the last person I'd put in at SG! and forget Kosi. The kid can pass, but it pains me to say this but I'd take both VB and J-Will over him, as their Defence is brilliant.

I'll vomit in this bag as I can't believe I just said I'd take VB and J-will over any1!
