And I am a big Carolina homer, but Joseph Forte has to be one of the bigger bust in the last 10 years.


Forte didn't really translate to the NBA though. He wasn't big enough for the 2, and couldn't play PG. Classic tweener.

I was very impressed with Rose for the bulls last night. VERY impressed.

Yaroslav Korolev

Who? #12 pick in 05 by the Clips. Picked before decent to good players like Sean May, Danny Granger, McCants (as well as some other guys who were busts). 34 career games, 39 points. And no not because of injury.

I never really thought McCants would last in the NBA. He is not as good as he thinks he is.

Sweetney ate himself out of the NBA. Even though he was short, he had a promising start.

yeah that's what I meant by his size did him in. dude had good athleticism for a big guy, but he just got too big

if he could get his weight back down and I needed a big body to knock a good post player off the block, I'd give him a try though. kinda how Duncan and Rose used to operate.

indeed. if Del Negro lets him push the ball, they should be fun to watch. he's got guys to run with him, and shooters to kick out to.

what the hell is wrong with Luke Jackson? I know about the injuries, but hell he can't even stick on the Heat, or with the Hawks who I think wanted to sign him as a shooter

1 TOR Andrea Bargnani Italy

you really think the Raptors went out and got Jermaine O'Neal because Bargnani was playing extremely well? doubtful

I do like Bosh and O'Neal however as a front court combo

damn, you're stupid. marvin williams is a starter on a playoff team and would start for a good portion of teams in the nba. guy is pretty good and still very young.
