"Hilton is a guy with a lot of talent, but very unsure of himself. That's one of his biggest problems," said Scott, now coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I tried the best I could to install that in him. He told me, when I made a mistake in college, they took me out. I said, 'Well you're not in college. I'm not going to take you out. Keep playing.' Sometimes, it's hard for some guys to break out of that habit."

"Hilton and I had a great relationship, talked a lot," Scott said. "I'm hoping this second chance for him goes well."

Armstrong said he takes full responsibility for his shortcomings thus far and would not dispute Scott's claims. "I've been hearing that for so long. I know that's a huge thing that's holding me back," he said. "I'm slowly getting out of that. I can feel myself improving with that confidence part."

Saunders hasn't been complaining about what Armstrong brings to the floor, with his work ethic and knowledge of the game. "Hilton has been solid," he said. "He graded better than any of our bigs, as far as being in position, help defense, sets some of the better screens, gets guys open. He's not going to make mistakes. He's more athletic than you think, because he's so big. He had a little bit of setback [with the shoulder], but he's come out of camp and done pretty well."

Hope he follows the example of other Adelman castoffs and prove the haters wrong.

When Hilton Armstrong is grading better than your tenured Bigs, You're in trouble. I'm sure Cavs already realized they were n trouble last summer.

Worst player in the NBA.

And I stand by it.

A_3PO · Oct 17, 2010

Hilton Armstrong has always been a chump in the NBA. Always will be.

moestavern19 · Oct 17, 2010

Hilton Armstrong is unfathomably bad.

It's really funny how all these "Adelman cast offs" threads pop up during the preseason.

Mr. Clutch · Oct 17, 2010

Adelman was mean to him. That's why he didn't succeed here.

ESPN had to do a whole program about one of them, too.

He did really well tonight for the Wizards. He probably worked his ass off over the summer. I'm sure he's loving it starting for Washington.

He did it again:

http://blogs.bulls.com/2011/03/bulls-shoot-down-hawks-in-another-romp/

So their resident idiot, Hilton Armstrong, comes up behind Watson and steals the ball and shoots a three. Thibodeau was furious. Play to the last buzzer. Sure. They had barely played for 47 minutes. Though Armstrong is known for that kind of stunt as once when he was with the Kings in a career marked by incompetence and buffoonery, he went to shake hands with Earl Clark, then of the Suns, with a few seconds left in a blowout loss and when Clark reached to shake Armstrong stole the ball. He didn’t have time to score then, unfortunately. This time he made a three to get the Hawks deficit down to 33.

“I’m at a loss for words,” said Drew.

As well as a loss of control.

Reminds me of that commercial....

- "Wait wait wait....so you are not a real NBA player?"

- "No, but I did stay on Hilton last night."
