Rules-list first,argue second and third...all players must be of teams that didnt make the tournament

PG-Jamar Butler OSU-15 points 3 rebounds 6 assist
SG-Nick Calathes Florida-16 points 6 assist 5 rebounds
SF-Donte Greene Syracuse- 17 points 2 assist 7 rebounds
PF-Kosta Koufos OSU-14 points 2 blocks 7 rebounds
C-Marreese Speights Florida- 14 points 2 blocks 8 rebounds


PG Greivis Vasquez- Maryland
SG James Harden- Arizona State
SF Gary Forbes- Massachusetts
PF Ryan Anderson- California
C Alexs Maric- Nebraska


Butler is an amazing point guard.He puts up solid numbers and knows how to win.Butler was a key part of Ohio State last year and sill is a key part this year.Butler is one of the best free throw shooters in the game and he makes 95% of them while Vasquez cant even make 80%.Plus Butlers an amazing three ponit shooter while Vasquez isnt that great.Overrall even though Vasquez scores more points and gets more rebounds,Butler is a clutch player,makes less mistakes,and is a much better free throw shooter.

Calathes is better than Harden.Even though Harden may score an extra basket every game,Calathes is a better rebounder and has much better ball skills.Calathes always makes a good decison with the ball wither he shoots it or passes it to the open man.Both Calathes and Harden are great three point shooters so theres no adventage there.Overall there both good players but I would rather have a great defender and passer instead of a guy who gives me 17 points but isnt as good of a passer or defender.

I looked at the stats and Anderson is clearly better but Koufos is still one of the best Power Fowards in the NIT

Ran out of room,small foward and center to come


You are making him more than he was, Butler didn't even start last year.

If you ignore the fact that Vasquez has a better scoring average, rebounding average, steal average, and block average, look at the main job of a PG; assists. Vasquez averages 6.9 assists, to Butler's 5.9. Vasquez is the better passer, and overall better player.

Harden is a far better defender. He averages 2.2 steals, 5 rebounds and .5 blocks to Calathes' 1.6 SPG, 4.9 RPG and .1BPG. The rebounds and blocks aren't that big, but Harden kills him in steals. Harden is a far better scorer than Calethas, shoots better from three and the line, and averages less turnovers.

Forbes averages more points, more rebounds, far more assists, and has a better FG%. Green averages 2.5 turnovers a game, something Forbes doesn't do. Forbes is a far better complete player, and doesn't make nearly the amount of mistakes than Greene does.

"...and Anderson is clearly better"

Guess I don't have to argue this one, lol.

Maric averages more points, more rebounds, more blocks, more assists, more steals, and has a higher FG%. Maric is a senior who has played good throughout his career, and brings far more to the table than Speights do


Forfeited Turn


Ok then, I guess I will state my points again.

Vasquez averages more assists, points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and than Butler, and has played good defense this year.

Harden is a much better defender who averages more steals, blocks and rebounds. Harden is a better shooter, and is a far better scorer than Calethas. Last night, Harden went for 25 to go along with 13 rebounds and 3 assists.

Forbes averaged more points, rebounds, more assists, a higher FG%, and is a much more reliable player who doesn't have the turnovers that Greene has.

Anderson averaged more points, rebounds, assists, had a higher FG%, three point % and FT%. Anderson also has shown he can play with the best having great games against UCLA, Stanford and Arizona, among others.

Maric averaged more points, rebounds, blocks, assists, steals and had a better FG%. Maric is a consistent player who stayed through his senior year, and is a far more consistent player than Speights.

Sorry if that was repetetive, I didn't really know what else to say.
