I would take o'brien. Especially if it comes down late in the game. Throw stats out the door, you can't compare stats when comparing a fisher player as the stats are spreadout as all 5 players are typically very good and they play well as a team. I think burton is the most polished skills wise, McAdam is great for the stats but Ive never caught him play that great even when he put up good stats I woudl always say i didnt even notice him doing well how did he get all of those stats. O'brien is the best to get in the lane and create, he is also probably the best defender out of the 3. Burton is very good but is hard to compare is he much different.
O'brien strentghs:
Stongest
Best defender
Winner
Burton
Best Shooter
most fluid
McAdam
best stats
Best rebounder
It is also safe to say that if you are a Ithaca fan 99% of you are taking Burton, if you are a Naz fan 99% of you are taking McAdam, if you are a Fisher fan 99% of you are taking O'Brien. They all were great players and as FisherDynasty as they all had their individual strengths that might have topped the other two.
I happened to cross paths with all 3 of these guys. To me it all depends on the "type of show you want to run" to make your choice of which of these 3 guys you would take. They all had solid supporting casts, I think it comes down to more of the system they were in and the system you want to play if you were they guy picking .That is what makes it so tough to pick between these three because they all fit their system so perfectly and made their teams go, which is why they are the three guys that were thrown into the discussion. I have a lot of respect for O'Brien (He won the big game over and over with Fisher) and McAdam (Josten's Award Finalist) but I have to pick Burton (best skills wise in my opinion), best shooter/ scorer, still had a lot of assists, great competitor and was a solid rebounder and defender for his size and the style of play Ithaca used (even more so over Burton's last two years when he was pushing the ball up the floor for 35-40 a night).
You can pick apart any poster's argument or these three as players, the system played in and how that helped them, or how they players they played with either helped or hindered them. The only way to find an answer is to get input from fans of other teams. Does someone know how to start a poll so that we can maybe have a vote on this subject?
