He decided to show back up a couple of days ago, says that his reasons for missing the plane were personal. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/sports/bk/bkn/rox/1841952
And the fact that almost everyone NBA team know about this reputation. Just because all you Moochie haters don't want him start, doesn't mean that these rumors aren't true. There not even rumors, his attitude issues were common knowledge before he was drafted.
What a waste of a draft pick. I don't even notice him on the bench. I bet the Rockets will trade his sorry ass very soon.
I didn't say anything about BOKI. Rudy has given him sometime to show off what he can do. He hasn't done squat for Maddox. Plus, BOKI is a higher draft pick who has potential in the upcoming years. Maddox just has been trouble and is going to the NBDL soon.
Man please, stop being biased. Boki has been with the team the same amount of time as Boki. I have only seen Boki make 2 shots the whole season. Boki can be like Peja in the future I think. At the same time I saw Tito play in College, but Tito has the teams 2 leaders ahead of him so he will not get time until next year during the pre-season so he can show what he can do. Same goes for Boki. The both of them are in the same boat right now. They both have potential but Boki will get more of a chance because he doesnt have a star's ahead of him (IE: S.Francis, C.Mobely). Moochie as well who is formidable at times. To say Maddox has just been trouble is B.S. because this is the first probem (if you want to call it that) we have had with him. I know now you didnt see him play in College and o say he is going to the NBDL soon just lets me know your knowledge about the players and the game. LAME! Be fair dude, stop playing favorites...
I'm not playing favorites at all. I didn't see any point of the Rockets picking him anyways. He isn't going to show his potential at all on this team and there isn't any room for him. And with this little incident he did, that was just stupid to not let his team know where the hell he was. Hell, his sorry ass has been IR for a long time. It seems like Maddox helps out more with the waterboy than playing any ball. At least Boki is showing Rudy during practice that he can ball. Who cares about Maddox? Now in picking Nachbar, Rudy sees him as the future SF of this team. He fits the right position and he is going to get more playing time next year. Maddox = no future.
as Kim said, yes i was joking. i thought the kinda indicated that... still a mystery as to why. "personal reasons" is a very vague answer, but as much as i hate it killing a "good" story, he's entitled to his privacy. At least we can be grateful that he hasn't had probs with the law.
Tito Maddox slipped down in the draft for the same reason Eddie slipped. Rumor had it that Eddie was a head case. Yeah, right. So don't be fooled by rumors about Tito. Wait for the facts. I'm betting Tito will be a prize once he learns how to beat the press and other point guard skills.
He was a secondround draft pick. What did you expect from him? Tito and Boki both barely get any playing time. And right now, they shouldn't be playing. In the offseason, they will get their chance to play in the Summer League. Both probably have a lot of potential. If they didn't, then why would an NBA team draft them?
