Hey Assani, thanks for defending Webber.
As Assani's saying Webber spent a lot less time parked down low than Brand, and still pulled down 10 rebounds a game. His career number (remembering his career is over now so his decline is included where Brands isnt) is .4 lower than Brands so I dont know where Brand is a better rebounder is coming from.
Also when Webber took that team deep in the playoffs, Vlade was way past his prime and Bibby was still an awful defender (I dont like the Bibby pick because of this, the guy is seriously terrible on D). Granted Peja was probably at his best, but hey Im not trying to claim the guys a 1 man team.
xorbie,
Yeah I know I think lack of three point shooting and elite post D is what Im missing and it was just the way the draft has fallen so far. I was really hoping for Vlade or Grant to team with Webber but those both got snapped up just before my third round pick (hence me trading back at that point). I should be able to get guys who can shoot the 3 ball better (although Blackman and Howard arent that bad) to come off the bench and with the way Im intending the team to be a very versatile 9 man rotation, that should suit me fine.
Brand vs Webber career comparison I meant to include:
