NBA Players You Were Wrong About

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Julius Randle in the opposite kind of way

Julius is trash. I wish this board would stop trying to push the narrative that he's anything but.

I was wrong as hell on

Jahlil Okafor - I just knew dude would be a dump into the post and get you 20 a night and 8rb type.

Malik Monk- I was saying the Knicks should of taken him I was thinking his game was big time and he would beast like Lou Williams.

Josh Jackson - I was just flat out wrong I thought he was going to be a beastly defender.

Willy Cauley-Stein - from his predraft and college game I thought dude would be an all world defensive type

Emmaunel Mudiay- I can go ahead and take my L....I thought dude had potential to be a star to match with the athletic talent and size....

Michael Beasly - I just don't know what went wrong dude even put up numbers in the league...He had all the tools and a great skill set.

You weren't wrong about Okafor. He IS that guy.....the problem is the league doesn't find what he does valuable currently so he literally can't be that guy in today's NBA.

Brandon Jennings fooled us all



I thought he was the next Iverson.

He actually came in the league 10 years too late too. Had he come into the league around the late 2000s he would have been able to chuck as many shots as he wanted at horrible efficiency.

Yao ming. I thought he was shawn bradley

Funny to look back at the perception that he should've gone #1 in the 2009 draft after that game, and then here we now, and he's simply a footnote of it.

Crazy to think that was 10 years ago. Oh, time, how you got by so fast.

While he had a solid peak, I REALLY believed Eddie Jones would be better than what he was. He had a solid run, but I thought he'd end up just as good as Kobe or just a notch below.
