    D. He made some good dunks, had a few good games, but rarely ever really helped us.

    That grade could improve by getting traded for someone better.

    C+, average in terms of meeting expectations. Wasn't anything special, but I can't say I was disappointed.

    Made me miss Jason Collins.

    That says it all.

    I picked C because he wasn't going to put up big numbers and he played half decent in time given.

    C work maybe?

    He would have been a B or better (B+ ceiling) if we could have stretched opposing defense with better shooting from the perimeter.

    The nights when a couple brain cells would fire off he looked ok.

    These reasons for giving him a C are soooooooo weak.

    Anybody have an actual reason for giving him a passing grade?

    To me, he warranted a D for giving us some entertainment in games we knew we were going to lose anyways.

    He played better than Maglorie in his limited minutes.... He also was less painful to watch than Malik Allen.

    I don't know about other Stro fans, but I wouldn't vote A just for the heck of it...unlike people who voted F.

    So basically that means you guys were expecting him to average a double-double playing 14 minutes per game? I would vote B-/C+ because he was average, he had some good games and some bad. But since he dropped one of his sickest dunks of his career in a Nets uniform, he deserves a little bonus. [​IMG]

    While Sean Williams got mostly Bs and Cs (even some As) in his season in review, it makes me wonder how reliable these votes are. I know that he had a good half to the season and that he's a rookie but still...

    That being said, I don't care about the fact that some of you guys are already sick of Swift but I hope for you guys that he won't pick up that option...and that Sean will pick up a ball instead of a bong this summer.

    I'd rather carry 13 players than bring Swift back. He's a good dunker, though.

    Swift is definitely picking up that option this summer, that a free 6+ million that he will never get again.

    How so? Every year you could point to a half dozen games or so and say "No way they win that game without Collins."

    So I don't buy your reason. You have another one?

    So he deserves a C because he's better than two of the worst players in the NBA?

    Both of those guys are an F-.

    Best reason given.

    Since winning games would have hurt the Nets, Swift actually contributed by playing.

    And the bonus was he gave us 10 seconds of excitement every so often.
