I usually piggyback and ask this in other peoples threads but is this dude MKG (Michael Kidd-Gilchtist) a damn bust or what? I had expectations that with rich cho taking over the bobcats/hornets that he'd get shyt right....

You don't draft a damn role player with the 2nd pick unless they are a special role player...you don't take a dude who is compared to Gerald Wallace with the 2nd overall pick when you could of taken a raw drummond, a sharp shooting beal, Harrison barnes and a few others....I always shyt on my CAvs but the bobcats talent evaluation isn't hitting...Kemba and Gerald Henderson are the good picks and then they over signed gerald.

The reason I ask can he be a bust is because he's doing what most of us thought he'd do be a glue guy, play defense, get rebound, score in transition....no one thought he was a star. So is he really a bust or was he just over drafted?

no, they drafted him to be a defender and that's what he is. His fg percentage is good and he splits time evenly at the 3. Not gonna develop into what he should be with 25 mpg. Also it's his second year, people use the bust word too damn soon now a days. Give the kid time to develop, he hasn't even averaged 30 mpg in a single one of his first two seasons, and hasn't shown signs of being completely useless

Way too early... he's very young and developing his shot... once he can get a 3 point shot, he'd be an ideal 3 and D player.

But he plays with a lot of heart and intensity and you can't teach intangibles.

Charlotte has one of the top defenses in the entire NBA.

:beli: Do cats even know what busts means these days? His jumpshot is :trash: and will always hold him back, but he is still young as fukk and the Bobcats organization has been a clusterfukk. Too early to call him a bust, he hasn't lived up to the expectations as the number 2 pick yet, but its not like he is Anthony Bennett status. :comeon:He might not be the most talented, but you can't question his motor or heart, so I'm certain he has the work ethic to improve imo. :skip: shyt if he is a bust, :mjpls: can trade him for Pau if he wants right now. :smugfavre:
