Augmon, if his back isn't hurting from carrying his club team.

One of the closest ones for me but I went with Smith. I love that he is a great passer and on this team I think vision accompanied by the other skills will be important.

Went with Dennis Scott, best shooter in the world, the international game revolves around a lot of shooting, easy choice.

Damn, Smith almost not making it and he's been in the top two for the last three seasons. Crazy.

Augmon has earned it this season. I'd just hope he'd share minutes with a guy who's been his superior since the last Olympics.

Smith scores a lot and is hella efficient... but he plays that turnstile D

Everyone strokes Augmon on that aspect of his game but never seems to recognize Smith's ball handling and rebounding ability as vital to his game as Augmon's defense.

They are different styles of SF, but before this year, have they been that equal at offense?

I'm not discrediting Smith's handles... but Augmon is also a superior rebounder too (6.5rpg career). Smith's defense will hit potential at one point, and when he does, he'll be unstoppable.

I'll give Smith the credit of being a much better shooter efficiency wise because of TS% but Augmon has that D, rebounding, and has a 25.3 ppg in his career compared to 19.6 for Smith. I had to go with Augmon for the balance of offense and defense on the wing.

Yeah, Augmon has actually averaged a bit more ppg True, but in Smith's defense, Tray has always surrounded players who can score around Smith, taking shots away from him. Pauly has always held to the 2-strong scoring options with his team IIRC. (Ewing-Augmon...)... although this season Pauly's got some good balance on his offense now.

Augmon's the better player this year and the better defender always, but I didn't think they were that far apart.

The Olympics- a world where Steve Smith can't hold Stacey's nuts and where someone constantly called just as OP as Kemp doesn't even get a vote. Crazy world huh. A world I choose to not live in.
