Player(s) That Shouldn't Be In The NBA

- Kyle Korver: He has no game whatsoever. All he can do is shoot 3's, and he misses most of them for a supposed 3 point specialist.
- Michael Olowokandi: One of the worst high picks ever. If Bill Walton said he can't play in the NBA, then he can't.
- Darko Milicic: This guy should of been a selection of the 2007 draft because he's pre-mature right now.

 

Uhhh I got a tad problem with the Korver nomination misses most of them? the guy hit 39% for last season in limited minutes...If he starts getting consistent minutes and shots, I see him as another Dale Ellis without the attitude problems...plus Korver makes an effort on defense...

 

-Kyle Korver- Disagree. He was ranked #1 in the NBA in 3 Point goals per 48 minutes. 39% from three point range. Thats not that bad of averages if you ask me...

Michael Olawakandi- Agree

Darko - Agree

 

For Olawakandi I agree 100% he shouldn't be in the league he was the perfect example of a bust out of college...Korver, disagree 100%, how can you say that about Korver, he is one of the best raising shooters in the league...Every time he can into the game last year the Philly fans started clapping...And for Darko, right NOW he shouldn't be in the league, I agreed that he is too inmature to play, but 4 or 5 years down the road (Ben Wallace or Rasheed Wallace are probably on different teams or even retired ) Darko could make an impact.

 

I don't agree with Darko. He is not ready for the NBA now but in 2 years who knows. Remember J. O'neil in his first couple years in the league? He never played but had great potential, the same with Darko. Even though I laughed at Darko so many times last seaon I still think he can be a great player in the NBA.

Nice sig and av man.

 

Michael Olowokandi isn't bad, he was just a bad pick. Expectations were to high for him. He is what he is, but definitly not bad enough to be out of the L. If someone with size like him can come off the bench and get about 7 points, and 5 boards, then why shouldn't he be in the NBA? He's just not worth his contract, and expectations were to high on him. He's a bust, but he is still serviceable.

 

Kyle Korver- Disagree, reasons is what was posted with the last two post.

Michael- Agree

Darko- Disagree, the Pistons didn't need a savior right now. I feel he'll start to come out by his 3rd year. If he was picked by a bad team, he would've gotten some of his minutes and do an ok job kinda like Kobe during his first year. As we all can see with Bron and Melo, coach Brown doesn't play young players very much.

 

Cherokee Parks and Oliver Miller

 

Korver - You must have a grudge against him or something... or not know anything about bball to argue that Kyle doesn't deserve to be in the NBA

Kandiman - Agree. The guy is just a tad better than Samaki Walker, which is still pretty damn bad.

Darko - Fine, he may have potential or whatever but for the love of basketball, and to keep myself from dying for laughing so hard whenever he gets on the court, leave the guy to develop first out there in Europe or something. Him coming to the NBA and not getting any PT is the worst thing that can ever happen for him. He would've been better off if they let him play in Europe for a couple years, develop some (or ANY) basketball skills, then bring him over.

Cherokee Parks was actually decent. Oliver Miller too. At least he hustles and clogs the lane on defense (literally).

shutup

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Need4Sheed:</div><div class="quote_post">Cherokee Parks and Oliver Miller</div>

Oliver Miller was a very good player before he balooned. He was probably one of the best ballhandling centers to ever play the game, in fact (sounds like an exaggeration, but its true). He's extremely skilled. If he would have dropped the weight, he could have been an allstar player. Too bad.


-Darko, definitely.
-Any high school player or 1st/2nd year college player who didn't get playing time last year probably shouldn't have been in the league to begin with.

 

Evan Eschmeyer

 

Chris Webber. Period.

 

Can anyone say Shawn Bradley? :thumbsdow Geez, how overhyped was this guy?

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting realdealbneal:</div><div class="quote_post">Can anyone say Shawn Bradley? :thumbsdow Geez, how overhyped was this guy?</div>

I think all the criticism and jokes Bradley has faced throughout his career more than makes up for any hype he might have had coming into the league. And I believe only Mutombo has blocked more shots in the last decade (someone correct me if I'm wrong on that), and that has to count for something.

Out of boredom, I compiled some stats on prolific shot blockers from the last 20 years. I might be forgetting a few. Fairly interesting:

Player ......................... Blocks/48 minutes
Manute Bol ......................... 8.58 <- that's INSANE
Mark Eaton ......................... 5.84
Shawn Bradley ................... 5.29
Theo Ratliff ......................... 4.85
Dikembe Mutombo ................ 4.40
Hakeem Olajuwon ................. 4.15
David Robinson .................... 4.14
Alonzo Mourning ................... 4.12
Marcus Camby ..................... 3.76
Ben Wallace ........................ 3.70
Patrick Ewing ....................... 3.43
Shaquille Oneal ..................... 3.31
Jermaine Oneal ..................... 3.30
Tim Duncan .......................... 3.12

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Emo:</div><div class="quote_post">Chris Webber. Period.</div>

I'll go with Darko,and Kandiman

Webber,Emo...of course you would pick a Kings player to hate on.if you had it your way Emo,all of the Kings would be on the list,huh

 

Mark Madsen- Hate him in Minnesota and when he played for the lakers he cant shoot free throws for shit he had a worse percentage than Shaq! He has no mid range game and misses most of the layups he attempts at times. I dont know how he got in the league let alone got a second contract this guy is one of the worse bball players I have ever seen.

Bradely(from the magic)- Really was not crazy about this guy when he was toronto I remember a game were he palyed and Bill Walton or someone said "get a good look at this guy because this is one of the rare times he plays". He has no talent and should be out of the league in my opinion.

Wang- This guy has played for what the mavs, heats, and clippers and has sucked every where he has been. He is really tall and never posts up or brings the ball inside. Horrible player even more a dissappointment then Shawn Bradely because at least Bradely can block shots with his size.

Agreed.

Let me just add Samaki Walker into that list.
