People keep wanting Demps to find a Pierre Thomas and that just doesn't happen in the NBA. The NBA isn't going to let anything other than a bench warmer play in Europe for 3 years. The best you're likely to get is Jason Smith, a player with potential that injuries derailed early. Xavier Henry is a similar case and he hasn't worked out.


Honestly, the most I was hoping for was a solid 6 to 8 minutes here and there from Roberts. Even that is looking unlikely.

At Duke University, McRoberts averaged 8.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.3 blocked shots while leading the team (60.5%) in field goal percentage.[2] McRoberts was named to the ACC All-Freshman team. He helped the Duke Blue Devils to a record of 32–4, the ACC regular season title, and the 2006 ACC tournament championship title by defeating the Boston College Eagles. He was also named to the third team Freshman All-America by collegehoops.net.


That's him. My bad!

It happens in the NBA, just have to find the ONE or have the coach to turn that player into the ONE.

Notable undrafted players who did pretty good in the NBA:
Brad Miller
Udonis Haslem
Bruce Bowen
Ben Wallace
John Starks
Avery Johnson
Andres Nocioni

I never understood why we didn't give a guy like Johnny Flynn a look. He has to be a little more talented at least and can handle the ball with an occasional knock down shot.

It's one game and EVERYONE was shooting bad and he tried to save the day and do to much, he isn't at the NBA level yet but with Gordon not playing, Rivers hurt, and Roger Mason being the worst thing I ever seen in a Hornets jersey we don't have many options
