    Kwame Brown, the guy is not playing to his potential and is a lapse on offense. His lowpost defense is his main strength but he still gets caught in the pick and roll. He constantly misses layups and doesn't dunk when he should. I will give him some more time though.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Cavsrules @ Dec 30 2006, 08:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Yes, that is the only high point Cleveland has.We got LeBron James. The best or 2nd best in the game. Amazing player. But he can't do it all alone. Larry Hughes, Z, our Bench needs to play great ever night with James for the Cavaliers to be a team that is hard to beat. We got a solid PG in Dan Gibson and I hope S.Brown can start getting good. I sure hope we win one soon, Cleveland needs it bad.</div>The only high point? Christ, you guys are one of the best teams in the East. You would have probably committed suicide if you were a Raptor fan for the past 4 years [​IMG]

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GArenas @ Dec 30 2006, 07:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Andray Blatche, after a great summer league performance he's just terible during the regular season playing with no passion and therefore not seeing playing time.</div>I definitely agree with this. Whenever he gets his limited playing time in blowout win or loss, he always manages to screw up the team's play. He forces too many jumpers, thinks he's PG (therefore he has control of the ball the entire time), and he just doesn't play with the excitement most rookies do. I wish he would hit the weight room or something.. he needs to get buff.

I waited my whole life to see a Cleveland team to go far, The Browns have done nothing but make a wild card in 2002. The tribe need some help in order to make the playoffs. Cleveland has been bad, until we got James.

    I'm not gonna say Kwame in this. I never really expected him to be a superstar. I expect him to be maybe a 10 and 7 player with great low post defense. So far he's somewhat of that player, but he's still improving. He may have lapses here and there, but who doesn't. Besides, once Bynum really comes into his own, Kwame Brown's development really won't have mattered all that much.

    Morris Peterson and Joey Graham for the Raptors.Morris Peterson is not even a starter. I have been watching Morris Peterson's last couple of games and he doesn't seem comfortable shooting anymore because of his elbow injury.Joey Graham doesn't have potential like CB4AllStar said. He's very inconsistent. 15 points one game, 5 the next. People said he was the steal of the 2005-2006 Draft. I couldn't believe when Steven A Smith said that he will be a better player than Charlie V.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (kingjamez @ Dec 30 2006, 06:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Speedy Claxton, sure he plays good D. He's useless on offense, he makes just mindboggling mistakes. He trys to make passes he cannot make, and he can't shoot the ball worth a sh*t.</div>Hey, beats Tyronne Lue, eh?I guess I'm too late to say Michael Olowanokandi. And Joe Smith. And Nikoloz Tskitishvili. Can I say Jay Williams? After that motorcycle injury, he seemed to have his mindset to getting back to the court and playing to his full potential before the accident. But after a long rehab, and discussing terms with some teams, he's in the D-League now, and God knows how well he's doing there.

    I definitely have to agree with BCB on Darko. He has proved absolutely nothing, and he has not really stepped up since last season. And he wants a $60M contract? Give me a break. He's just another international bust.

    Yeah completely scratch that, although we got owned in the foruth quarter Andray Blatche gave us a spark off the bench in the first half that kept us going while Gil couldnt make a shot.Wiz fans, lets give up on Calvin.

I think that he has been overrated from the start, and he doesn't have the ability to live up to his so called "potential". If you are a lakers fan, you should be happy that he is showing aggression and that he is dunking the ball instead of laying the ball up. His defense isnt bad either....I dont think people would be complaining if he was a 15th overall selection instead of a 1st overall selection. He has had some pretty hard shoes to fill is all that im saying.
