OT- NBA players you were wrong about

[elduderino]

This is accepted racism. Like when every white WR is compared to Wes Welker.

I just can't help the fact that a lot of white players never are the same player they were in college everybody has that on their mind they just won't say it. Bill Simmons said European players don't count as white guys.[/quote]

Yup, I'm well aware I am a racist, but not like Sterling, more like Barkley or Sharpton, but with better control of the volume of my voice.

Time? He has been in the league for 5 years and done virtually nothing.

It's not like he needs to become an all-star to surpass Darko.

Thabeet is a bust but was stupid enough to draft him number 2 overall. He was a project player drafted number 2, when he should have been a late 1st early 2nd round pick and start in the Dleague to work his way up.

cmon, Thabeet was going lotto if the Grizz drafted him or not. The truth is Thabeet wasn't going to be much of a player in the league no matter where he was drafted.

Guys I thought would be better:

Terrence Williams
Joe Alexander
Doron Lamb
Jonny Flynn
Tyrus Thomas
Evan Turner
Jeremy Lamb
T.J. Ford
O.J. Mayo
Michael Beasely
Derrick Williams
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
James Anderson
Perry Jones
Acie Law

Michael Beasley is a good one. Dude was a BEAST in college as a freshman. Multiple 40-point 10+ rebound games in Big12 conference play, finished with 26.2 and 12.4 for the season, again, as a freshman. Better numbers than Durant put up the year before.

I think the Durant comparisons had Beasley fighting an uphill battle from the start.
So much talent and just can't get the mental aspect on the same level. Makes me wonder how good Royce White could be as well

I know he would have gone lotto no matter what which is all the more reason it made sense for Thabeet to go pro, part the problem is a team was willing to gamble on him as the 2nd pick overall, not saying he was gonna be much of a player in the NBA I never thought he would be just saying he would have been a lot better off being a late 1st early 2nd round pick and starting in the D-league.
