Josh Smith or Andre Iguodala *Who do you think will have a better career???*

[brantonli]

Terrific comparison, and I always think of this when doing fantasy drafts, especially when both guys are on board and I'm thinking, bloody hell, these two are going to be superstars and I can't decided between them!' From a fan perspective, I'll take Andre Iguodala, he's as atheletic as Josh Smith (Dunk Contest remember?), and is also the first option for the 76ers. That said, as a fantasy basketball player, I'll take Josh Smith, simply because his blocks are pure gold.

It is J-Smoove by the way..we kountry down here.

It is hilarious hearing all of this "Iguodala is a leader" crap. What did he lead exactly? A better team to a worse lottery position.

At one point the Hawks started 2 NBDL players at point guard. And as far as an "attitude" goes he simply wanted to win. He snapped at Anthony Johnson because he thought that he should get the ball. That is what people who want to be superstars do. Kobe does it. Mike did it. They are competitors. Josh is a competitor. But we'll see this year.

Spoken like a true J Smooth fan...Nice avatar...

Iguodala "led" Philly to a 30-37 record without Iverson last year.

i doubt Josh Smith would've even matched that record.

these are 2nd option guys we're talking about. neither can lead a team.

[GOBB]

Iggy is better all around.

At one point the Hawks had this starting 5

Anthony Johnson
Josh Childress
Josh Smith
Shelden Williams
Solomon Jones

I want to see Iguodala lead that team anywhere.

And by the way unless your team made the playoffs at least, you can't claim that Iguodala led them anywhere.

Iggy is better. Stop being a homer. Joshua can block shots better. There you go. Now get to bed. Summer school only arrives three times in your life so make the best of it.

Haha...Now that was funny...

I am trying to go to bed but your mom is insatiable. Viagra can only do so much.

I'm taking Dre. He seems to be more in the Kobe mold of a shooting guard, and better all around, scoring, dishing, getting boards, playing D where as Smith seems to be a second fiddle type of player, specializing in fast break dunks, blocks, and steals. Igoudala will lead the Sixers for a long time.

[Q.E.C]

As you know, J Smooth and Iggy hop came alive last year and became "leaders" for their team...So which one of these guys do you think will have the better career when its all set and done...


Josh Smith


On March 3, 2007, Smith broke the 500 block mark, making him the youngest player to do so in NBA history.

Smith ended the 2006-2007 with 16.4 points per game, 8.6 rebounds per game, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.9 blocks, dramatically improving on his previous season's stats. Leading the Hawk's after Joe Johnson's season ending injury, Smith produced a career high 32 points and 19 rebounds in Johnson's absence.

dang, look how high he got with 2 hands. he's got some mad hops.

I think that it is significant that Josh only avg 2ppg less than Iguodala despite being a second and sometimes 3rd option on offense with very little offensive sets run for him...not to mention that Iguodala is a better FT shooter. It suggests that Josh has more room for growth.

Iggy.

[sixerfan3511]

Whoever said that they are similar defensively is an idiot. Iguodala is a shut down type of defender, Smith just blocks shots and gambles. He is not a lock down defender. On offense, Iguodala is more mature, more well rounder, and has better shot selection. He's also a better shooter and passer, and he gets to the line more. The only thing Smith is better at is rebounding, shot blocking and maybe dunking(idk about that even...). Not close and im not being a homer
