    He probably makes a tiny salary if he's signed by someone. He can shoot, score, hit 3 pointers, and play the PG position well enough.

    Under Thibs, he scored 11.6 PPG with 2 APG in 23 minutes, and .387 from 3. Under Hoiberg, 16.1 MPG, 5.8 A/36 and .357 from 3.

    I feel like there isn't a middle ground with Wookie.

    He either loves you or he hates your fucking guts.

    Without going into details, Aaron Brooks treated some friends of mine like they were shit on the bottom of his shoe while he was (and they were) in college. Some of these friends have never even met each other, the only thing they have in common is they know me. One friend in particular (an employee of the University) claimed that it happened on numerous occasions.

    Man...... I'm willing to bet there are a LOT of athletes who treated people like shit. That's stuff I'd rather not know. They play basketball, they entertain, and that's all I need to know. It's like finding out your favorite actor is a giant tool bag.

    My bet is that the odds of finding out your favorite actor is a gigantic douche are probably about the same. Great athletes can be pampered and enabled from an early age. Yet at least its a gradual process. But actors have to achieve fame before they spread their ego above vast continental areas. It probably goes to their heads really quickly. Call it Eric Roberts Syndrome.

    I don't want him for basketball reasons...he doesn't fit the Blazers. He's got a short fuse...refused to come into a game for his coach early in his career. Suspended in college for a couple really stupid dirty fouls. Read when he was playing in China his diet was hot dogs on a hot plate....with all that good food around. Marbury lit him up for 50 pts in the Chinese championship game. Lot of flags with Brooks...he is very fast and an above avg shooter though. He'd have to have grown up considerably before I'd sign him here.
