    Career averages aren't "COLOSSAL waste of talent" averages.

    That just supports my point. He never played to his potential because he's a shithead but he did have times where he dominated both ends of the floor. The guy could handle the ball and be a point forward, pretty rare talent IMO.

    If they haven't already, his friends need to reach out to him. Sounds like he's in a volatile situation now.

    Lamar Odom would have gone #1 in that draft above Elton Brand if he didn't admit to smoking weed before every game.

    I'm sure he's far away from this. I don't see that happening. He's certainly at rock bottom though and there's no way to go but up IMO.
    I feel for the guy. He's had a LOT of adversity in his life.

    He'd be better than Freeland, even when he's stoned. What a dilemma for Olshey.

    Seemed like an obvious alcoholic, with all of the candy and stuff that he ate during the season. I'm guessing for many seasons, he didn't drink while playing.

    I assume you cubs remember why the Clippers traded him to Miami. I think he was a light smoker, but they were spooked by his overstated college reputation.

    Maybe, but have we tried getting Freeland stoned?
