I'm sure he lost a lot of his hops following a leg injury with the Warriors, just before he was traded here- I remember as Knick he would go up to dunk the ball and end up not getting the lift he was expecting.

He was a guy who had incredible physical talent. A 6-10 guy who was like gumby couldve been a top 5 defensive player great rebounder offense initiater--he had so much potential to be an NBA star type. I do think that injury robbed him a bit but he was also not a smart player which is a big thing. Its possible that he could be a great help to a team now at 27 hes in the right league to get him back.

Glad he's in the league the Knicks seem to scout the most. Have to think if he keeps playing well they'll be keeping tabs.

That was my impression . . . time and time again, he looked like he might make it but he was just an awful, awful basketball player. I'd be very surprised if he suddenly got game.
