    He's the ideal PF

    Can't shoot
    Can't score at the rim
    Can't rebound
    Can't defend
    Undersized
    Low effort
    Overweight
    Asthmatic

    Morey blew it

    Amazing how much Boston made up from those unprotected lottery picks

    I don't think they are trying, they just couldn't attract many decent FA's because of how terrible they are.

    So if i'm not mistaken... the Nets traded Derrick Favors, along with Lillard, Kanter, Dieng, Jaylen Brown(all selected with picks they traded) PLUS two more future picks that are almost guaranteed to be top 4 just for D.Williams, G.Wallace, Pierce, Garnett (all of whom did nothing but win 5 playoff games for them and leave) and then a Boston pick which will likely be a mid/late first.

    **** that sucks so much for those poor Net fans.

    Brooklyn should be a place that players want to play. Really speaks to how terribly they've been run that no big name FAs even consider them.

    Eastern Conference
    Filthy rich owner looking to spend
    Brand new arena
    New York City

    You'd think those 4 things alone would lead to a good team. And an argument can be made that it's really all the fault of Dwight and his Magic.

    This is one of the many reasons i was rooting against the Cavs. Just an incompetent organization that lucked into LeBron and against all odds ended up with 3 different #1 picks and two #4 picks in 4 years as assets to get LeBron back.

    He has potential to knock down shots, he has very long arms, and can monster slam the hell out of the ball surprisingly. He must not really buy in to the whole "caring about basketball" thing.

    I think he's gotta be the worst number 1 pick ever made. At least Oden and Kwame Brown had enough size to justify picking them, but Bennett's upside was/is basically 'WTF were we thinking'. Maybe you think of him as a good rebounder at his position, but still..

    The epitome of entitled millenials today - never worked on his game.

    Yes....because in the history of the NBA pre-2010...there were no busts and EVERY player worked on their game....

    The freak wasn't picked in the lottery...very likely turn out to be the best player from the class though.

    Morey should sign him to the Vipers. He doesn't know what he wants to be but he can be serviceable at the four. Think Andray Blatche, its going to take a lot of patience with this young man, he needs to have his game broken down and refined. I wish he was in training camp with our coaches, he may have learned enough to stick somewhere. He doesn't suck, just mishandled and needs to be coached up

    If he sucked he wouldn't have been an All-American, earned a scholarship to Kansas or gotten drafted. He's a tweener that thinks hes a three when he's really a 4. After multiple teams, his confidence is shot. He just needs a coach that believes in him

    No for sure, Hasheem Thabeet comes to mind....

    But it is pretty prevalent with today's kids...and their Rock and roll music!

    Been watching too many Disney channel original movies. He sucks. Needs to go to China and cash in while he still can.
