Re: Kwame Brown Sucks

I never knew how bad Kwame really was til I saw him play for the Pistons. No vertical leap, no defensive footwork and so on. I always think former high draft picks have some potential that only waits to pan out in the right situation, but I should start to give up that thought.
That said, Kwame is ok as another big body to draw some fouls, that's it

Ding, ding, ding.

Of course, it was Nellie who went after Manute Bol after he played well for Washington against Nelson's team. And that worked out so well.

Re: Kwame Brown Sucks

This is perhaps the most predictable thread topic in PF.com history.
...as soon as he was signed, you just KNEW it was comin'

I predict a VERY long life for this thread!

Re: Kwame Brown Sucks

I wonder if Kwame went to college (and been exposed, ie Felipe Lopez)would he had ever made it to the league?

THEN I'LL SAY IT!!!! From Day 1 in the NBA, this guy looks like he's 12 yrs old. Sit him at the end of the bench and let him watch ALL YEAR. I can believe we chose over Samb so how BAD must SAmb REALLY be...

There are 5 other backup centers on the DNP list better than KB and Nazr is one of them.

The worst thing about the NBA is the players out of position.

TAy should have always been a 6th man

Afflalo is a strong differnce maker

Nazr will always be a backup and a good backup

Sheed is better with a power player at his side

i'm rambling (night shift)

what was the question?

And sadly Giant T still has a $4M player option clinging to the Pistons' butt.

Thats the problem, 2 x's! A LOTTTTT of us DID know. Not a put down to you but ESPN(and Magic Johnson) has ruined this great game. Dunks Dunks Dunks! I always thought the NBA should have had a position height requirenent:

PG- 6'2" AND BELOW

SG- 6'3 TO 6'5

SF- 6'6 TO 6'8

PF- 6'9 TO 6'10

C- 6'11 AND UP


...LIKE BOXING


....rambling again...............
