Nalod,

After seeing what happened in the Olympics, I'm convinced that Carmelo would not have fared well at all under Larry Brown in Detroit. :) LB just doesn't like his game.

As far as Kwame goes--- he has had a rough go in the NBA thus far, but based on the progress of many of these high-draft pick high schoolers, sometimes it takes a couple of years for them to mature.

The only thing that concerns me is that last year he averaged 30+mpg-- he's gotten his opportunities.

The most promising part is that his FG% has improved every season---> to nearly 49% last season, all while shooting more.
