    After watching the Lakers game against the Kings last night I believe Kwame is vastly improving. Last night he scored his career high with 21 points to go along with 12 boards. He was incredible. He was boxing out very well and on other occasions just out-jumping Brad Miller for the ball. He seriously made Brad Miller look like Rafael Araujo. He was posting up very well and then putting in that little baby hook. He also went up strong for the lay in a couple of times.Do you guys think that Kwame is on the rise?

    No. He has games where he looks great and then he goes back to playing like rubbish. Unless he suddenly got a work ethic...I believe it when I see him do well next year.

    Also, dominating the Kings interior isn't saying much.

    Brad Miller is probably a top 6 or 7 Center in the League, he is very tough and a great rebounder and he was up against Kwame so yeah it is saying something.

    Being a top 6 or 7 center in the league doesn't mean much.

    Kwame's career high is 30, 21 is his season high. He has been playing much better as a 5 since Mihm went down.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Brad Miller is probably a top 6 or 7 Center in the League, he is very tough and a great rebounder and he was up against Kwame so yeah it is saying something.</div>Brad Miller is a jump shooting center, and a terrible defender. Rahim isn't a low post enforcer either. They got no one tough downlow.Also, Miller rebounds at a terrible rate for the minutes he plays, and tough my <Censored>.

    Brad Miller has this 'tough <Censored> white dude' thing attached to his name for no reason.

    Wow took him long enough to improve, I really think this guy will still turn out to be one of the biggest busts in NBA history

    Their were so many #1 pick busts in the NBA throughout the 60's-70's that make Kwame look good. Today top picks are judged a lot harsher than the were because of media and the importance of the draft.

    Yeah sorry Drob, i got it mixed upYour right about Brad though. I thought he was tough but yesterday he was backing down to Kwame and mainly shooting jumpers. I don't get to see many West Coast games so I wasn't sure.I still think it is an accomplishment for Kwame to grab 12 boards and score 21 though, it doesn't matter what team he plays.

I like to see this out of Kwame but history tells us he'll go back to airballing layups tomorrow night.

    I really believe him airballing lay ups was because of confidence issues, kwame has skill but his mentally not right.

He just doesn't. Look at his jump hooks. He just throws them up.

    I'm not saying his offensive skill is great, however when michael jordan calls you a flaming faggot it can effect you.I really don't care about his offensive game, all i want is he to continue playing good D.

    He called Kwame that during a practise and Kwame cryed about it apparently.
