re: Make your bold Pels prediction for next season

The only thing I will "come at you" for is use of the term 'two way player'

EVERY PLAYER IS A TWO WAY PLAYER!!

So, why don't we just say he is a top ten player? Or top 20? Why is this made up thing called 'Two Way Player' a separate category?

I know what people are attempting to mean by this saying. But as usual with language, they are failing.

What they are trying to say is that he plays offense and defense well, and even though he might not cumulatively do that better than Harden does, he should be put in a different category because he plays both at some arbitrary level while Harden does not play defense at some arbitrary level.

But what is that threshold? If you are a 97 on offense and a 52 on defense, you don't qualify as a "two way player"... But does a 86/74 qualify? Or how about on offense? Is Andre Roberson a "two way player"? If not, exactly what is the minimum we need to see from him offensively for him to qualify?

Sorry. Pet peeve of mine. We don't need a separate category. All players are two way players. So, lets not separate them. What good does it do? If I were to ask who the better player is, people would answer Harden. But the answer to 'Who is the better two way player?' would be Jrue.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???! > end rant.
