    Will Patrick Ewing jr. crack under pressure by the expectation of the media comparing him to his father or will he become a great player?

    Whats your take on Patrick Ewing jr?

    He's going to be in the D-League or be waived, I don't see him doing anything in the NBA soon.

    He never was even a great player in college so why do you think he would even be an NBA caliber player besides his name?

    False dichotomy. If he's not a great player, it won't necessarily be because he cracked under pressure.

    Well, he has athleticism. You never know what he could develop into. Look at what JJ Redick was in college and what he is in the NBA.

    But....yeah, he sucks.

    Wells, I mean, he's 24 and still sucks. College seniors usually don't develop much once they are the sixth man on their team.

    We had a guy call John Lucas Jr. on our team so?

    We have Patrick Ewing Jr. on our team so...?

    I think they'll share same destiny. There's not space on this team for him. I would be happy if I'm wrong...

    I'm guessing you never seen his game before , he has no hopes in the NBA.

    I'd rather pass on Ewing Jr. and just play the waiting game for Yao Jr. or maybe a Olajuwon Jr, but then again, knowing my luck we will get Weatherspoon Jr.

    Just like V-Span! Maybe P-Ew should go play in Europe, where he can be a superstar. He might even be the Patrick Ewing of Greece.

    I think he'll just spend a lot money, but not make a lot of money.
