Wasn't overtly tall, but had like a 48" vert, maybe 50ish can't remember since it was over a decade ago.

yeah I was hoping for the same thing, maybe another Vincent Askew. he just never developed as a 3, and was too short at the 4. I'm not sure Lou was a legit 6'6 let alone whatever they listed him as.

(speaking about Lou Roe)

i thought Stanley Roberts was going to be an above average NBA center too. He was a better offensive player than Shaq early on at LSU.

Can I bump this thread when Oden wins Defensive player of the year?

how far back can you go back to bump a thread, b/c he's not winning it this year.

I never thought Zach Randolph would be a better pro than Jared Jeffries.

I thought he would have a solid decade long career as an average NBA point guard, kind of like Brevin Knight or Earl Watson...Duhon or Eric Snow at best.

for a point of reference, Joe Smith was MUCH better as a rookie than Oden.


And as I've pointed out already, Benoit Benjamin was better as a rookie than Dwight Howard.

Hell, I could even make a pretty solid case that Greg Oden is having a better rookie season than Kobe Bryant.

Not sure why you keep bringing stuff up like that, that really makes no point whatsoever.

I thought Okafor would be a star. He has had a decent career so far, but I thought he'd be much better.

With all the hype he got in college, Felipe Lopez was a pretty damn big disappointment.

- I thought the artist formally known as Jason Williams would be a stud. Damn motorcycles!

- I thought Boozer would suck

As a hawks fan i think anyone that we draft is gonna suck. So I was wrong about Josh Smith and Al Horford.

And never thought Nate Robinson would make a roster.

I thought Andrew Bogut would come into the league and take it by storm. Almost like another Sabonis.

Another player I thought would be good, but he just hasn't panned out: Quincy Douby
