Mike Conley doesnt even show signs of greatness....Kenny Anderson, Rod Strickland....go down the line....Mookie Blalock......Nate Robinson!!! All those guys have shown signs that they were special players early on in their careers. Dude Mike Conley was even trash in the summer league this year......I dunno.....i dunnno......i dunno.....

C.Billups looked like a bum with the Celtics also.

He didn't look like a bum. He was actually too flashy back then. He didn't really know how to play but he had shown flashes......

Seriously, do you see flashes of a good player in this guy since he's been in the league.?

I haven't seen enough games of Conley, in the NBA, to give my opinion on him. I do remember him in College and he was very good then.

And I'm with you on Lowly. again, another player who I have not seen a lot in the NBA, but loved his game in the Collegiate level.

I would say he is a bust but according to some on this board he got like 3 or 4 more years to go. You know the Gallinari rule.

actually its the curry rule

Too early to tell. Obviously it's not a good sign to start with, but let's give him at least three full seasons before judging too closely.

I've been consistent. This is the same logic I used with Maciej Lampe, and as you can all see, Lampe is now an all-star.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I saw plenty of him in college, and I was not impressed. he's been riding odens jock since highschool. lowry IS a player. I think what made me dislike conley even more was the fact that he was sooo hiped up. on the other hand what I like about him is that we never had a chance to pick him. that was close...

hey Eny, you just wrecked my whole day dude, I did'nt know he was on the allstar ballot. how the F...?!

Well I my case......I didn't think Lowry deserved to be drafted. I thought he was just gonna be a college star that disappeared into oblivion.

I'll admitt all day that I was wrong about Lowry. On day one.....the game the Knicks went to triple overtime? Wow man the kid was just incredible.....he had broke his hand shortly after that but in between time he was looking like their future. After that Conley was drafted and the have been giving the kid the shaft ever since.

I purposely watch certain teams to catch guys hoping to see them blossom cuz I just love to scout and say "hey I remember him when he first got in the league". I just love the game like that.

Conley hasn't really done that. This guy Javaris is another one cuz he looked like he was breakingout with the Lakers. Sometimes I wonder if certain guys simply get blackballed cuz of who they hang with or reputation.
