What do you guys think, he's 6'9, can provide athleticism and youth behind Tmac and crew. I know we probably have no roster space left, no money, but hec its worth thinking about. he's a h-town boy as well.
I think the Wolves want to send him down to the D-league. But I dont think he is eligible because he has been in the NBA too long. I think D-league is for players 2 years out and under. Ebi appears to have nice athelticism, but just doesnt have the NBA shot. Yet ANOTHER player that came out too early. Funny, the pundants always talk about the NBA success stories like Lebron but for eveyrone one of those there are 5 Ebis that flounder.
Ebi is a complete bust. He got his 3 years guaranteed money and will go off into the sunset. Perhaps if he had gone to Arizona instead of yanking them he may have developed into a serviceable NBA player. No team will pick him up because he isn't remotely good enough to make a roster. Must have been some kinda workout he had 3 years ago. I betcha if the Twolves hadn't taken him late in the 1st round he would have went undrafted.
He has no position to play. I remember scouts touting his "ball-handling" (his only discernible basketball skills, actually, aside from maybe shot-blocking) but even against second-rate NBA small-fowards he can't do much. And he can't play power forward because he weighs under 200 lbs. BUST!!!
I was upset when he chose to go pro over Arizona too. Being drafted by Minnesota made it worse because he was stuck behind Garnett. He'll have to go to the D league, hope to do well enough then sign with another team as a free agent.
kid made an AWFUL decision not to go to school, he clearly wasn't ready and still isn't. he's going to have to find a place where he can just PLAY basketball. i'm a firm believer that you only learn how to play basketball at any level by actually playing. that's why a lot of these kids on the borderline of being a 1st or 2nd round pick coming out of high school should just go to school and PLAY. because you aren't going to in the nba.
As much as Stern's age minimum got bashed, this was the exact reason he implemented it. There is just way too much talent being wasted out there because everyone thinks they're the next Lebron or Kobe.
