http://www.talkbasket.net/news/marcus-fizer-releaced-from-maccabi.html Ouch. Poor guy, injuries keep striking him and ruining his career. Maccabi were actually counting on him to be a key part of next season's team till just about a month or two ago. Looks like he'll have to find a new home again.
Poor guy. I loved watching him at ISU. That was a hell of a team that he was on with Nurse and Tinsley (while the other guys' names escape me). On a sidenote - how big of a bust was the top of that draft that year? KMart, Stro Swift, Darius Miles, Fizer, Mihm, Dermarr Johnson, Joel Pryzbilla, Etan Thomas, Mateen Cleaves and Jason Collier were all take in the top 15, and to say the least, none of them really panned out to be all that great. For that matter, most of that draft ended up doing little to nothing in the NBA.
He was too whinny for my tastes when he was ISU, but the Bulls really fucked up his career Moo, Kenyon was an All Star and is the first NBA player to recover from microfracture surgery on both knees. He is worlds better than the others on your list
You are right about Kenyon, I should probably give him more credit than what I do. He's been good when he's been healthy. So he probably doesn't belong with the rest of those guys. However, I wouldn't say he ever lived up to the expectations of being the top pick, he's been solid.
RIP Joel and Etan are good players, starters on most teams in the league. Great defensive big men. But of course, not all that great overall players. Not deserving of being thrown in with those other guys-Kenyon, though.
