Who do you guys prefer? One is only available through blacktop (green), the other you have to dig deep into your deep mt wallet. Reason I'm asking is that I'm looking for that pf that can keep defenses honest with his open 3, but more importantly can play quality defense against wings and bigs. Keep in mind that Ben Wallace is my center, who is more than capable of guarding 1-5, although shaq and alonzo give him trouble.

Pluses for Green -

- Better playmaker attributes and less liable to turnover (both have same speed w/ball surprisingly.)

- Better offensive consistency (90) vs (80), could mean the difference between hitting those one or two extra threes that make a defense honest in a game. Also has a much better contested 3.

- edges smith out in most defensive attributes, except for notable ones such as blocks, steals, and lateral quickness where smith wins outright.

Pluses for Smith

- Superior athlete with 84 speed and embarrasses draymond with his 88 vertical. posters galore if defenses close out too hard on him.

- clearly better finisher inside going to the rim and can even hit an occasional off dribble shot.

- Better rebounder combined with his athleticism can make other players rage at the potential for multiple possessions, especially combined with hustle rebounder.

I have plenty of MT, so purchasing Smith wouldn't be a problem. But 40-50k for a sapphire so early in the game is ridiculous in my opinion. Green is essentially free but I haven't played enough blacktop and don't know at which point you can get him, and it appears that getting these USA cards are a pain.

What do you guys think of these two who are almost equal defensively? Is Smiths superior finishing, athleticism and rebounding enough to outright beat draymond? Is this advantage worth the 40-50k? What other stretch 4's can also enter the conversation? Discuss.

Diamond Larry Johnson is always the answer

How much it costed you to finish that collection tho?, I only have 70k and sure that's not enough.

Smoove is likely better, and the likelihood of getting that Draymond from blacktop is low, anyway.

This is why I've bought as many cheap bronze players as I could for collections that haven't dropped yet
