If someone can dig up some of the old threads or tell me how to do it, that would be great. I remember there once being a rumor about Fizer being available for trade, which led to a heated discussion comparing Marcus and Kenny. I really wish I could pull up one; it would be interesting to reflect on some of those arguments and predictions two (?) years later. Stats below modified for fit. Notably, years played left off. You can figure it out.

Where do you feel each player is headed? Given each player's 'achievements' thus far, what would you say are factors that predict the success or failure of NBA "Tweeners?"
Kenny is an overachiever and Marcus is an underachiever. Fizer should be good next year. If not he is a bust. Kenny is a great Rudy/CD late pick once again like Horry and Cassell. I am drunk right now, I know Cassell doesn't look like its spelled right. I won't post anymore - go sleep...
I agree, Kenny's the better player and Marcus has more talent. Damn, I didn't know Marcus was only 6'8". I always thought he was 6-9 or 6-10. 260 is pretty heavy, is he built like a rock or is he chubby?
Is Fizer still with the Bulls? If so, with Chandler and Curry, hell have a hard time finding decent big man minutes.
6'8? Stop it If you get a chance to look at Fizer on court standing next to a Jalen Rose or someone who clocks in at around 6'7, you'll notice that he's a wee bit smaller. But he's not chubby! He's built. I think Kenny's better, simply because he can score at a better clip. Perhaps Fizer shoots a better fadeaway, but KT is a much better rebounder, he has much more appetite to try and get to the glass.
Fizer has better low post moves than KT,but Kenny is a better rebounder and drives well to the basket unlike Fizer.
