Duhon vs. Ridnour

[Darrell_Armstrong]

Since Luke is signing with the T-Wolves for 4 years/16 million, which is close to Duhon's deal, do you guys think Otis made the right back-up point decision?

 

At first I was disappointed to hear that Ridnour's deal was so low, because he was my top option behind CJ Watson. However, in looking at their stats for last year (which was considered Luke's best and one of Duhon's worst), perhaps we made the right choice.

What do you all think?

I think Duhon will be a solid backup. Especially defensively.

[Fultz4thewin]

Duhon is better defensively. Ridnour is better shooting the 3.

 

Duhon fits a need.

Ridnour is just really small, i think he's (much) smaller then jameer

[Penny Hardaway's Ghost]

either would have been fine, both are equal on the talent radar IMO, one is a better offensive talent in terms of individual scoring while the other is better defensively, neither player is great therefore their strong points negate one another.

this never gets old.

Ridour's knock has been horrific defense and, from his time here in Seattle, he was a great ballhandler who sometimes made real odd decisions.

oh, well, 175 vs 190, jameer's packing quite the punch

Ridnour is Jason Williams. Good passer, good shooter, but skinny and terrible on defense. Duhon is what we needed. He is an all-around very good backup point guard. I like Duhon better and feel it was the perfect signing as a guy to play behind Jameer.

This isnt really related and doesnt deserve its own thread, but Shaun Livingston is signing with Charlotte:

I had the unrealistic hope that he would find his way onto our roster as a 2nd/3rd pg. I like the Duhon signing, but Livingston is a very talented player.

 

As for the topic at hand: Duhon.

 

That all being said Ridnour recieved a lot of interest from other teams this offseason, he is a solid player.

I like Ridnour. Of Duhon I dont know much apart from the 22 assist game. Lets see how this develops.
