    Josh Smith.

    he can dunk,shoot and defend better than Gerald Wallace.

    He's more clutch and overall athletic. i don't see how anyone can disagree with that.

    I would take Josh Smith if i had to pick one. Both are extremely athletic and VERSATILE players, but I think Josh Smith being 6' 9" gives you more size and bulk. Plus Smith is one of the, if not THE best shot blocker in the NBA. Wallace may score more, but he is playing on a team with no scorers, while Smith plays on an extremely talented team, that is very balanced. Defense wins championship!

    Man Josh Smith is better than wallace anytime. He has a bigger frame , is more athletic , more strong. Some answers told you to look at the stats and they thougt that wallace is better. WRONG!. Wallace is playing almost 42 minutes and averaging 18pgr,10rpg,2apg,1,5spg,1bpg , Smoov is averagin 15.7 pgr,8.7 pgr, 4.2apg,1.5 spg and 2bpg in only 35 minutes. It is a difference of 7 minutes man that mans a fifth of j smoovs playng time. So stats aint in gerald advantage , neither his game or his team. I think that josh smith playis with 2 big scorers joe johnson and jamal crawford

    So Josh Smith owns gerald wallace

    Josh Smiths stats are a touch tainted because at the same time as Joe Johnson develop into healthful the Hawks coach didnt matter on Josh Smith. at the same time as Joe Johnson were given injured on the top of the season Josh Smith grew to develop into the first decision and he stepped up huge. He had an huge to triple double with 18 rebounds yet neglected it by 1 aspect with a win over Milwaukee. On March 19 he were given 26 pts, 17 forums, 5 assists, 4 steals, and three blocks. He scored 32 factors hitting 12 for 15 on March 10th. They gained all those video games. He averaged 3 blocks a pastime very last season. i imagine he will proceed to step up. identity bypass with Josh Smith, because the better effective participant yet both Gerald Wallace and Josh Smith are underrated because their communities at the prompt are not that good Josh Smith not in any respect fought inclusive of his teammates, he yelled at his coach once because he develop into hitting his pictures and the coach refused to enable him take the in simple terms suitable shot of the game. He develop into already mad because he had in simple terms forced a nasty shot and he wished to make up for it. Afterwards he apoloigized to the coach and his teammates.
