    Keon Clark: 'The boy is just self-destructing in public, and it's painful'

    When last Keon Clark was quoted in these pages, in the fall of 2005, the pogo stick of a former Raptors forward was 30 years old and still sought after by NBA general managers. As of yesterday afternoon, he was wanted by Illinois police.</div>

    He was pretty good. I liked him, the two years with the rpas. Just all his problems with the law and drinking, really hurt him. To bad though, 5 years, hopefully he'll go clean after he's out.

    After he left the Raps he stunk it up with injuries. Coincidence? I think not.

    Nick Cage has done some decent work. Adaptation, Leaving Las Vegas, Weatherman, Lord of War, and Matchstick Men were all pretty good. Bruce Willis just lucked out hitching a ride with Tarantino and Rodriguez and got bit roles in Pulp Fiction, 3 Rooms and Sin City.

    Pulp Fiction I give him credit for. That was an amazing movie. But Cage, still I just hate him.

    Keon seems over hyped to me. He was good but he was never that good. Good role player coming off the bench but that's about all.

    ^^ When we had him, I thought we should have given him a long term contract to keep him as he developed. Obviously not a good idea. I thought he had potential, but yea, he wasn't a star or anything.

    I found matchstick men to be a boring movie.

    I was always a big fan of Clark, but I think that's just because I'm a big fan of athletic shotblockers like him. I always hoped that Pape Sow could become something like him in the future.

    It's a shame how far he's fallen though.

    I really want Pape Sow to succed. I really like him. I hope he can be a guy to play good minutes off the bench, and contribute 4-6 points a game 5-6 rebs a game. In the D-League last year he averaged like 20 something ppg. He's got potential, if he can just pull through, and get better.
