EBL Commissioner Posts: 14,758 Group: Admin Member #2 Joined: May 14, 2010	The rules are simple: You pick two people to vote for, and the 2 who receive the most votes will be in the HOF. You may choose to give reasons for your voting or not, but please consider all candidates and don't jump to conclusions in voting. Voting ends next Thursday. Thanks! In addition, the stats site archive will be used for players pages who retired during the years available. And please no "these HOF nominees are weak or terrible" posts/comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2053 Nominations Henry Brown 5th and Final Nomination http://www.mchlclrk.com/old_ebl/2048/players/player240.htm Career stats: 26364 points (52nd), 6442 assists (68th), 2623 steals (23rd), 9964 FGs (52nd), 2587 3s (25th) The case for Henry Brown: Won so many regular season games that it is tough to even keep track of. 11 time all star, as well as an all EBLer 8 times, making a strong case to be the best SG of his generation. Was an ideal sidekick to David Griffin almost every season. An elite 3pt shooter and scorer in general. Had 12 seasons of at least 20 PPG. Was an elite defender at the SG spot most of his career. Great rebounder/handler as well. Was capable of being a very good PG at times. The case against Henry Brown: Never led a team as the #1 guy. Was a big part of many playoff failures in Portland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave Hutchinson 4th Nomination http://www.mchlclrk.com/old_ebl/2049/players/player68.htm Career stats: 29735 points (24th), 12306 assists (9th), 2008 steals (64th), 11295 FGs (23rd), 4510 FTs (60th), 2635 3s (t-20th), 584 double doubles (48th) The case for Dave Hutchinson: One of the most prolific PGs in EBL history. One of only 4 players to be top 24 in both points and assists (Rodney Purvis, David ONeal, Brandon Jennings). 11 straight seasons of 20+ PPG. Was fantastic at limiting turnovers, never averaging more than 2 in a season. Very effective shooter (.463 from the field, .853 from FTs, .410 from 3). 6 time all star at a loaded position. The case against Dave Hutchinson: Hardly ever made the playoffs the first decade of his career due to poor supporting casts. Was unable to carry bad teams to wins. Wasn't a bad defender most of his career, but also wasn't a great one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alex Lo 4th Nomination http://www.mchlclrk.com/old_ebl/2049/players/player475.htm Career stats: 15234 rebounds (9th), 4161 blocks (11th), 502 double doubles (t-72nd) The case for Alex Lo: One of the best defensive players of his generation. Was able to anchor a team's defense at the center spot for much of his career. Dominant to elite rebounder from year 5 to his retirement in year 16 (9 seasons in this span with at least 13 RPG). Elite shot blocker as well (at least 3.5 every season during this span). Won 2 titles as the main defensive guy in Denver and was on numerous other great teams. Remained elite on defense until he retired, winning his 2nd DPOY in his final season as well as putting up a career high 14.5 RPG. The case against Alex Lo: Was always a poor offensive player. Sometimes shot too much considering his limitations on that side of the ball. Was a fairly poor ball handler his entire career. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave Merchado 3rd Nomination http://www.mchlclrk.com/old_ebl/2050/players/player94.htm Career stats: 1606 games (1st), 29095 points (27th), 11036 assists (16th), 2264 steals (46th), 11008 FGs (27th), 4546 FTs (58th), 2533 3s (27th), 4226 turnovers (2nd) The case for Dave Merchado: The only person in EBL history to ever play 1600 games. Has 11 20 PPG seasons on his resume, including 4 of 25+ in a row from 2037-2040. Was a great PG who struggled with turnovers early in his career, then transitioned into a great all around SG for the 2nd half of his career, showing versatility. Being 16th all time in assists despite playing half of his career at SG speaks wonders to his career. He was often a very good defender much of his career. Also an efficient shooter (career line of .457/.855/.400). The case against Dave Merchado: As mentioned, struggled mightily with turnovers when he played PG. He was never able to win a title despite being on many good teams. Played too long, hurting some of his legacy as he went on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Griffin http://www.mchlclrk.com/old_ebl/2052/players/player328.htm Career stats: 1599 games (2nd), 42393 points (1st), 12081 rebounds (53rd), 7545 assists (55th), 3603 steals (1st), 15828 FGs (1st), 6463 FTs (4th), 4274 3s (1st) The case for David Griffin: The most productive regular season player in EBL history. He is 1st in 1/3 of the 12 career categories (points, steals, FGs, 3s). Not only was he a high volume 3pt shooter, he was extremely efficient when he did it (45% career), as well as being very efficient from the field and FT line. One of only 3 non PGs to win MVP (LeBron James, Pierre Lewis), doing so in 2046. He was often the best passer in the league from the SF spot for the majority of his career. He was also an elite defender basically his whole career, as well as being a top notch rebounder. Played 21 seasons and had 20+ PPG in every one of those seasons, showing remarkable consistency from beginning to end. 15 time all star, which is almost assuredly a record. Won a title in 2045 as the Blazers best player. The case against David Griffin: For all his regular season success, his teams often underachieved in the playoffs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ricky Hart http://www.mchlclrk.com/old_ebl/2052/players/player407.htm Career stats: 14005 rebounds (24th), 3856 blocks (18th), 5055 FTs (34th), 768 double doubles (t-12th) The case for Ricky Hart: He was often one of the best big men in EBL during his career, capable of not only being an elite rebounder/defender, but also an underrated scorer (13 seasons with at least 16 PPG). An efficient shooter for a big man in EBL (46%). Only had 1 season below 10 RPG his entire 16 year career (his rookie season). Won 2 titles in Denver as a core player and had numerous other success on other teams. The case against Ricky Hart: Doesn't have the career scoring numbers you'd expect from a good scorer like him (86th in points). Struggled mightily with FTs his whole career. Never had an outside game to speak of. Non existent passer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Current Vote Tally David Griffin: 20 Dave Hutchinson: 8 Alex Lo: 8 Dave Merchado: 7 Henry Brown: 2 Ricky Hart: 1 Edited by Mofoticon, Apr 17 2016, 01:34 PM.

Halfcourt Heroes Posts: 3,868 Group: Members Member #12 Joined: May 15, 2010	David Griffin - Pretty much a no brainer. While his playoff shortcomings were many, he still holds tons of records and was a high end talent for pretty much his entire career. David Hutchinson - We've become so used to great PG's in this league that his production and skills, for whatever reason, have been brushed aside. His career numbers are fantastic and the efficiency he shot with shows just how good he was to still play that way on some crappy Hawks teams. If you go over a lot of the teams he was on you can see why he didn't get much in the way of playoff runs.
