This thread is to discuss former NBA players who fell off the map in recent years. I miss Keon Clark, He was an athletic monster. Clark is actually a pretty good player, Great shot blocker, Good rebounder, Decent scorer.
yea the only way i foun out about him was though NBA live lol he was good he was long i think he is FAheres a few players that are in FA but are goodTom Gugliotta used to be beast now he just the average white boy lol j/kAntonio DavisElden CampbellLee Nailonlmao Glenn Robinson is a FARodney BufordDoug ChristieLucious Harristhey all deserve roster spots
Is Lee Nailon an ***hole? Does he have a personality problem? Because as far as I know Lee can score with the best of them, but he is a journeyman is the truest (sp?) sense.Cool thread by the way.But my vote goes to Paul Shirley.
I'm wondering where these guys are now:Kedrick Brown (bust, waste of talent. Celtics selected him #11 out of Junior College.. and AFTER they made a promise to Gilbert Arenas! Kedrick was out of the league by age 24 due to no jumper, didn't work hard, and he gained 30 lbs. or so, maybe more. He got chubby.)Omar Cook (he looked incredible comming out of high school, then he ended up going to college for a year or 2? He is/was a true playmaker, struggled scoring and needs more size, but he can really make a play. Where is he? NBDL?)Jerome Moiso (ahh.. another Celtics draft bust at the #11 pick. He looked okay comming into the league. Tall, athletic, can rebound. He obviously didn't give 2 sh*ts about basketball because I don't even know where he is now).JR Bremer (last I heard, he was playing in Spain, but he is an NBA player. The Celtics had him his rookie year, and he played well. I think he went undrafted, out of St. Bonaventure I believe, and he ended up averaging 8-9 ppg for us and started more than he came off the bench. Then we traded him to Cleveland, then he ended up playing in either Seattle or Golden State. Where is JR at now?)
Rodney White? He was the 9th pick in the 01' draft..He looked like a great player coming out of college..I think he was with the Nuggets at one point; but I dont know where he is..Joseph Forte..Man he was a great offensive player; looked more like a SG than a PG, but I havent heard of him in yearsMarcus Haislip: 13th pick?..He was a frickin beast one D and on the boards I thought he would've had a solid career..Ron Mercer: He had a great start to his career, but then on NBA.com it says he hasent played since 04'...Did he retire or something, or did injuries plague him..?
Ron Mercer was my boy! I had his jersey when I was like 7-8. He was a very good player. That boy could flat out score. He was athletic, had a nice tough from 17 feet, and he could finish. I miss Mercer.But to answer you guys about Mercer, he has lower back problems and couldn't play last year because of it. He's 29 or 30 right now too, but I hope he makes a comeback sometime soon, I really like him.
I would like to add Trangdon Langdon out of Duke. He was selected around number 10 or 11 about 5 years ago and I havent really heard of his sense. I think that he played for Cleveland but im not really sure. Does anybody know where this guy is?I remember hearing about a guy that was a beast in college named Ed O'bannon or something like that. I think that he went to UCLA and was drafted fairly high in the first round. He would still be in the NBA and about in his prime but i havent heard about him in the NBA at all.
How bout Dajuan Wagner? I remember he was going to sign with the Sixers a year ago, then Billy King desided not to. But heard he is trying to come back.
Jerome Williams retired right?Keon Clark was amazing. I remember him as a Raptor. I'd love to bring him back as a Piston.Latrell Spreewell!!

Austin Croshere - Had a good playoff run for the Pacers, whatever year that was. They payed him a nice contract. He went to the bench from there. Now he's in Dallas.

Nice. That article may have just put him in a spot of my fav players list. He'll be the guy now I sign in NBA Live all the time as a backup
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Yeah, Langdon, Sprewell, Mercer are the ones I wanna know.</div> Langdon has been playing ball overseas the past couple of years. I hear Mercer is also thinking about playing overseas as well. Spreewell is trying to find ways to support his family on his past contracts. It's sad to see how unfortunate they are.

I remember JR too. Jonathon Bender made a quick exit. He was a Pacer forever.Jay Williams is coming back. What's the latest on him?
