You trying to make this a 40 page thread?

Oh, have you heard something? Sources? Or did you read that on the internet just like everyone else?

On the streets from guys who played Summer ball/pickup with him.

I could AVERAGE 20 PPG on the Sixer team, they have no set offense plays or designs. Are you kidding me? But ok, let's get him a pass and pat on the back. Cool.:

My thoughts exactly. Between him and Lance, this bench unit will be spectacularly awful.

So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now?

I follow him on snapchat... seems like he has alot of people counting on him. His girl kids and brothers. He's always posting himself either in the gym or with family. So I dunno what else it could be. I just hope there's nothing bad like drugs or association stuff going around. Like rather than suspend him or put his business out they just waived him.... I genuinely like the dude so I hope that's not the case

yeah but nixluva said he was going to start for us

lol good stuff there... not sure why people around here were so gungho for this guy. i still maintain, anytime you get cut from the worst team in the league, it kinda says something.

No one here was saying Wroten was a lock to start. This is the BS that always happens when someone says something positive or hopeful about a young player we have. Some were enthusiastic to see him in SL, but people need to stop trashing others who merely talk and speculate on prospects. Dude was in our system working on his game for a brief time and until he was released things seemed to be going fine. Whatever his personal issues are, I hope he gets them fixed.

Here's the thing no matter who we talk about there has to be some perspective. Every player has their own expectation level based on their talent and skill. ie KP has greater expectations than Kuz. If we talk positively about Kuz we're not saying he's suddenly expected to be a franchise level talent. Wroten was a flawed young player so there was a given expectation for what he could do given where he was starting from. If some are talking hopefully and positively about a player, that doesn't mean we're saying he's destined to be an ALL STAR!!! Being positive doesn't mean we were suggesting that prospect is gonna put up 20/8. The guys who piss on any player we go after simply LOVE to exaggerate the negative and any comments others make to make it seem like we're suggesting that player is gonna play at some unrealistic level. It's annoying BS that needs to stop.

Actually, his best bet is to sign on with a DLeague team or go and play overseas.
If reports are true about his work ethic then we got problems, but he just might not be healed yet.
