Maybe.  But from the article earlier ITT, he was just snake bit when it came to luck.  To think that a guy with his measurables and his skillset never played a single NBA game?  that's crazy

[I]He was waived the last day of 2010 training camp.

“The next year, he’s in the D League averaging a ton a game, tore his (left) Achilles,” Calhoun said.
There was a staph infection. There was an NBA lockout in 2011. There was a torn right Achilles. He bounced from Canada to Dominican Republic to Iceland and Chile and places in between. The countries mounted but the number of NBA games remained at zero.

“I remember he had a great tournament one year and he got stuck somewhere for 10 days,” Calhoun said. “All the things that could possibly happen to Stanley happened. If we hadn’t talked in three-four weeks, I’d call him to make sure he was OK. He’d play overseas, make limited money, spend it on his family, his mother, his three daughters. It would be all gone and he was looking for the next place. It was difficult. ‘Sticks, you got to make a statement here.’ ”[/I]
