FW_Hoosier Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I have a feeling that the only people who would say Damon Bailey was a better basketball player than Dennis Rodman are IU fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADegenerate Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 OG has an 8 foot wingspan, can knock down the 3, guard 2-5 in the NBA, starts for a 1 seed team, has the strength and body already for the NBA. I’m not sure where JM is better? Back to the basket play and ball handling maybe? Barely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Rodman was Six inches taller than Bailey ! So ,of course Rodman was a much better rebounder than Damon ! However , Damon was a much better offensive player , imho ! Had i been a college basketball coach ,I would have recruited both , vbg ! P.S. I believe that Damon's NBA career was cut short due to injury !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was two years old the last time you could see Bailey play on television. Can you name something Bailey did better than Rodman at the NBA level?

5fouls Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Rodman played in the NBA for all those years because he was historically great at one thing. I mean all time great. He wad not, however, a well-rounded basketball player. We need to understand that the NBA does not only save spots for complete ballplayers. There are specialists on every roster. Whether it be shooting, rebounding, defending, or just being tall. Better players never make it in the league because of the roster spots taken by specialists.

IU Scott Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Actually on another board we were having a similar discussion over who might be a better college compared to NBA potential. It was discussing who will have a better year next year Carsen Edwards or Romeo. I thought Edwards might have a better year because he is a junior and has college experience and others were just looking at potential and who is the better player. Romeo has the most potential and a better pro prospect but that does not mean he will be the better college player next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'It is true that Romeo's potential is greater and that it does not me that he will have a better year. But what areas would Edwards have advantages over Romeo except for experience? Romeo is highly skilled and that I think he was college ready his sophomore year of highschool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many passes did he make? Shoot, how many dribbles? Look, I’m as much of an IU homer as the next guy, but it seems ridiculous to me to claim that a guy who wasn’t even the best player on his college team for most of his career and never played a minute in the NBA was a better player than a Hall of Famer.

I never said he was a better player but told you what skills he had better than Rodman. Another example I gave on the other board when talking about Romeo vs. Edwards was who would you rather have in college Alford or VO or Cody. VO and Cody were both top draft picks but Alford had a better college career but did nothing in the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
