In case you were wondering, Kwame put up 11 and 7.5 in 30 minutes as a 21 year old last year, despite you proclaiming his status as a lazy bum. Here are some quotes from an article, "Rookies Make First Half Statement" by Josh Sekine, washingtonwizards.com
February 12, 2002

"(Etan) Thomas credits his hard work ethic in practice to the support and competitiveness of his fellow rookies as well as his veteran mentors."

"Playing with Brendan (Haywood) and Kwame (Brown) and growing together and learning from (Christian) Laettner and Popeye, it's just been a great learning experience."

"Although he has had the ups and downs of the NBA that every rookie goes through, Brown has shown Washington that they can count on him to be a leader on this team in years to come."

Hope that doesn't hurt your feelings.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

Well, I don't know if Sweetney has it in him to a consistent scoring force in the NBA. It looks like he has a nose for the ball and he's a hard worker... but maybe he doesn't have that god-given little bit extra talent that separates the journeymen from stars.

Two things could be happening--- he might be getting groomed for a bigger role, or he could be getting showcased for potential trades.
