Is he the odd man out in Denver?
What is the word on him?

Is he like 'THE HUMAN VICTORY CIGAR' ? [Milicek]

or is he better

Is he a possible long term solution at PF for the rockets
or just another project for denver?

He was draft 5th overall . . and wonder what was the word
on him

Good questions. I do wonder if he's a legit bust though. New Jersey didn't even want him and they could have had him as a throw-in to the Martin deal.

Denver has 150+ million invested in Camby, KMart, Nene, Melo. He can't be a big part of their future plans.

I think he's pretty legit by now as a bust.

Didn't the Rox scouts & Rudy love him? Thank god for that lotto bounce.

I don't see how anyone can call a kid that only turned 21 a few months ago a bust. I'd take him off of their hands in a heart beat if the price was right.

That's life in the NBA these days; drafted younger, busted younger.

hell it's not that big of a deal, each NBA draft only produces so many stars, there are loads of top 10 overall picks who do nothing in the NBA.

He may be end up being a bust, but there's always a place for 7 footers with a good jumper in the NBA. I still think that he's got a decent upside, and Denver shouldn't give up on him yet. The problem is that he hasn't developed because he doesn't get enough minutes. This is why the NBA should have a minor league, and, no, the NBDL "Tierre Brown MVP" doesn't count.

How do you play Tskitisgvcjhsdbshdfvilli, let him take bad shots, play 0 defense, and learn the NBA nuances without jeopardizing your playoff team.

If he doesn't play, no team will trade for him and you lose a potentially very gifted player with huge upside.

Denver’s conundrum.

The guys been around for a few years; upside alone doesn't cut it anymore.

There should be a moratorium on using "upside" to describe players after they're drafted.

I think they'll just try to salavage a 2nd rounder out of him or just part ways when his contract expires.

The fact that Rod Thorn took a pass on him should mean something to people, especially around here, no?

Agreed. That's why drafting a truck load of young and undeveloped boys for a game of men and put them at the end of the bench is bad for the league and bad for the kids.

Yes but the Euro league is about seniority 1st, talent 2nd.

2 to be exact. I saw him play some in his rookie season and he was all over the place. However, you could tell he had some natural ability.

Somone will take a chance on him and he could turn out to be a good player.

He's younger than Boki and will probably be better in the long-term.

If you want to scout him, the Nugs summer league game is on NBATV in 20 minutes.

He has been around 2 years.

Good thing people like you were not in charge of players like J. O'Neal.

lets start taking bets, who will be the better player in the end?

Kwame?

Darko?

Skita?

and let's just throw Boki in there because he has a 'K' too
