    Probably never. He was a second round pick who was and still is very raw. The guy is a longshot to ever see an NBA court from anywhere other than the stands.

    He just finished saving the Winabi village from an opposing tribe. He recently starred in the sequel to "The Air Up There" with Kevin Bacon.

    Kevin Bacon? The PG market is worse than I thought.

    If anyone is going to be our celeb PG, it has to be TMac's fellow Orlando resident:

    I seriously hope Malick Badiane does not turn into the next Mirsad Turkcan. An utter waste of a draft pick...no returns whatsoever. The Rockets have not shown much success in drafting players out of Europe.

    I could be wrong, but I think we ended up trading the rights for him to either Philadelphia, Cleveland or Detroit - something likey that for a draft pick in return...he got shipped around a bunch, and was even looking into working his way into the league finally last I heard, but I don't think he ever will.

    Surprisingly, this year's draft pick is the first in a while that hasn't received much, if any publicity on the board, though from what I hear he may be the more likely of the two Euro players to make it over. Anyone?
