With that said I bet he could come in and steal thjrs job from him.

As a rookie, you just don't get into fights with coaches. He's not a guaranteed player. Coaches and teams won't give a guy like that too many chances.

Dude plays just like his dad. He might even end up with the same knee issues because he walks exactly the same. Dude is a natural scorer. He can shoot the lights out. This guy should have been a 1st round pick. Still his issues with his his attitude is going to kill him. He knows he can score on anyone, but you have 4 other guys out there. He's not in a position where he can demand anything.

He just had a game recently where he hit 8 threes. I think the talent is there. It is his character that is the concern.

He may have potential, but Willie Green and Dana Barros once scored 50 points in a game. I admittedly have barely seen this kid play. I was just commenting on the "highlight" video. But a highlight video for an 18 point performance is pointless to me and it's more pointless when the subject of said video doesn'tdoesn't look like a freakin' all star, which he didn't.

Made both of them but they were terrible shots. Unless the shot clock was running down (I couldn't tell), you don't take shots like that. He's in the DL -- they gotta be telling him that down there. After the first one, he should've been pulled and talked to. That sort of thing...But like Crush is saying -- he hit 8 3s in a game. He had a game in summer league where he lit it up for 34 pts. He hit both of those 30 footers I saw in a DL game... There's talent there. Can he be coached up to the point where he can recognize a good shot from a bad one? And can he matured to the point where he won't be talking junk to his own coaches about this or that? When you're a young guy hanging on by your fingernails, you shut your mouth and play ball--otherwise, you'll never make the NBA. Pack your bags and get ready for the next plane out to China -- over 7000 miles away from everything you know -- your friends, family... Kinda crazy -- this kid was dismissed from school because of an off-the-court issue that cost him 1st round money. Lucky he was drafted at all. Then he gets waived by Washington...Gotta learn from these things. Has he? Maturity and shot selection are the two main issues. If he can improve in both areas (the two easiest things anyone can improve upon when you think about it), he's an NBA player.
