    There's now way to tell if Langhi can be a good player in this league. He has a body similar to Terrence's and Griff's, but whatever reason Rudy decides not to play him. I'll never understand how Morris gets the minutes he does while Dan gets the shaft. Morris doesn't shoot good, turns the ball over and his defense is average. Why does he continue to get minutes while Dan and now Oscar ride the bench? Nothing against Morris, I just don't understand why he seems to be the 3 of the future when other guys aren't getting a chance.

    BTW The one drive to the basket that Langhi had a few days ago was more impressive than anything I've seen from Morris.

    "Langhi is 6'11" and has the potential to be a good forward. "

    I love the P word. Heck I passed a guy downtown yesterday who was at least 6'7 and he looked athletic. He has the potential to be a good forward too.

    If Langhi had that much POTENTIAL then why aren't teams beating down our door to give us first round picks for him. Well that answer is because he is just that POTENTIAL, not a bona-fide player.

    This league is made up of POTENTIAL. Look at the end of each NBA bench and you'll find a 1st round pick who never made it in the league, past HS stars who had injuries in college that were given a chance, ex-CBA playerswho starred in a minor league, and other guys who just aren't good enough to play. Yes their are role players on each team who don't play much, but on each NBA team there is someone who never made it as far as some GM or scout thought they could.

    Really fantastic post. I suppose any player who gets drafted must have had some kind of potential ;).

    Langhi makes my team for tanking the second half. Major minutes.
