Hasheem is a lost cause. If three organizations couldn't turn him around, I think he's done. Hill on the other hand has a future in the NBA. He won't start because he's inconsistent, but he'll be a solid bench guy/journeyman.
And people here were b****ing about Williams being in the dog house... goes to show no matter how much "potential" you have, you will never be successful in the league unless you are willing to listen to your coach.
Rec'd For a thousand times yes. Seeing the T-Will crowd on here was a sobering experience about average human intelligence.
i was joking about the tweet he made saying he'd be interested in being Pierce's backup for Boston, which turned into some rumor news that Boston was actually considering it. coachbadlee several times referred to TWill has proof that contenders want our 09ers, as if it has already happened. lol
Jordan Hill isn't a locker room problem at least. He's big and he can rebound so he'll stick around in the league for a while.
Jordan Hill doesn't seem to have basketball playing passion... That's just the impression that I get. Good thing he's a tall dude. Didn't Glen_Rice say Johnny Flynn was good or better? Yeah...
Uh...we had 4 of them BECAUSE it was a depressing lottey class. The Rockets were just taking flyers on high potential guys with a well below 50% chance of being worthy of their original draft slot. Hasheem Thabeet (#2 pick): Was actually the COST of acquiring a future first rounder for Battier. Jonny Flynn (#6 pick): Was acquired for Brad Miller's corpse in bid to move up to take Motiejunas. Jordan Hill (#8 pick): Was a throw-in in a trade to acquire Kevin Martin and draft picks. Terrence Williams (#11 pick): The only one of the lot the Rockets actually gave anything of value to specifically acquire (a future lottery-protected first rounder). Let's not pretend that the Rockets somehow had these selections in the 2009 NBA Draft and picked these guys.
I still can't believe that some people ever thought T-Will was ever going to become a good player in this league.
Draft positions and what some mock drafts or Chad Ford wrote for you are everything, bro. If one was drafted high and then sucked, people would always think he has potential but blame it on lack of opportunity or coaching or work ethic. And everyone thinks their team has magical power to tap that untapped potential. If one was drafted low or undrafted and then sucked, people would think he is untalented to begin with. Reality is 90% of draft busts are untalented to being with no matter what their draft positions are. The other 10% are due to injury.
