flynn, derrick williams, wesley johnson, wiggins, damn wolves have no fukking luck with their young players :mjlol:

dajuan wagner, telfair, hakim warrick, tyrus thomas, beasley, oj mayo :francis:

I thought austin rivers was gonna have a much better career, them basketball mixtapes fooled me, turns out he just autism rivers :mjcry:

Nerlens Noel I thought would have a big time career but he kinda sucks in the league right now same with Jahlil Okafor, but they still got time to turn it around.

He's looking great for the Pistons. Think this might be his turn around stay tuned
Haven’t seen him play but his numbers aren’t very good

I thought Thon was the next KG. I predicted he would be drafted lottery by Toronto back then when most had him in the second round. Milwaukee ended up picking him lottery and he hasn’t panned out. He’s looking role player status. We haven’t seen him really handle the ball much.

Always weird to me how dudes that balled out n college end up being busts...

But regular guys end up role players

:patrice:That is definitely uncanny. Dudes who we never hear about in college or show marginally above average potential end up having long pro careers.

if you look how things panned out the Bruce Bowens, Shane Battiers, Derrick Fishers, and Draymond Greens of the game versus lottery picks who end up in the G-League or worse in a couple of years.

If there's anyone who could benefit from the G-League, it's Thon Maker. He plays incredibly hard, but he has no idea what to do on the floor most of the time. Sometimes he makes winning plays just off his activity level, but he still has a lot of work to do.

He's a FA this summer btw. I wonder who will take a chance on him.
