A ton of unrealized potential. A ton of fat on his body. Which will win out?

He's still just 25, but in 4 seasons, he's played like 1 season's worth of games, missing the entire 06-07 season. This would definitely be an opportunity to "buy low".

[EricB]

Yeah I like May's game, and if he could get healthy and get in shape he could be a damn good player.

Although Larry Brown may or may not want to keep him around (no pun intended) Also unfortunately Pop will take Larry's opinion into consideration wich, if they let him go, means the Spurs wont go after him.

[exstatic]

After jBUTT, I'm not sure that Pop listens to his buddy LB on player evals any more.

[HarlemHeat37]

not a fan..he's too offensive-minded for us at this point..

[Tully365]

Has been injury prone in his short career, but in '06-'07 he averaged just under 12 ppg & 7 rpg in 23.9 mpg while shooting 50% from the field. If he's willing to accept the LLE and can get anywhere close to 10/5 production, he'd be a steal. I wish he was 2 inches taller and 15 pounds lighter, but he could be a worthy risk.

[Chieflion]

I heard his stamina was weak which was one of the reasons Larry Brown did not give him a lot of minutes and had him work out.

[DMX7]

what a bust.

Kings reach agreement with free agent Sean May (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=txkingsmay&prov=st&type=lgns)

Free-agent forward Sean May has agreed to a one-year contract with the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings announced the deal Tuesday. May became a free agent when Charlotte declined to make him a one-year qualifying offer of $3.7 million last month.

May was drafted as the 13th pick in 2005 but has been limited because of a knee injury and conditioning.

His best season came in 2006-07, when he averaged 11.9 points and 6.7 rebounds. He played only 35 games that season because of knee pain that led to surgery.

May missed all of the 2007-08 season recovering from the operation and played just 24 games last season, averaging 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds.

[Mr. Body]

Buhust.

[Texas_Ranger]

Kings, free agent Sean May agree to 1-year deal (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-kings-may&prov=ap&type=lgns)
By Josh Dubow

Free-agent forward Sean May agreed in principle to a one-year contract with the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, hoping for a fresh start for a career that has been derailed by injuries.

The Kings announced the agreement Tuesday but did not disclose terms of the contract. May became a free agent when Charlotte declined to make him a one-year qualifying offer of $3.7 million last month.

May had appeared in only 82 of a possible 328 games since being picked 13th in the 2005 draft because of a lingering knee injury and conditioning problems.

“It’s a great opportunity for him and us as well,” Kings director of basketball operations Geoff Petrie said. “We look forward to this being a chance for him to combine his talent with his health and motivation.”

May’s best season came in 2006-07, when he averaged 11.9 points and 6.7 rebounds. He played only 35 games that season because of knee pain that led to surgery. May missed all the 2007-08 season recovering from the operation.

May acknowledged he became depressed when he wasn’t playing, and his weight soared to more than 300 pounds. He dropped some weight before the start of training camp last fall but struggled badly after starting the season opener. He soon fell out of favor with coach Larry Brown and was placed on the inactive list for long stretches.

May appeared in only 24 games, averaging 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds. After the season he was confident he’d eventually show his potential. May worked out for teams earlier this month in Las Vegas and impressed Sacramento enough to get another chance.

The Kings were an NBA-worst 17-65 last season, finishing with the worst record in franchise history. Sacramento also traded away a large chunk of its best players during the season, including former All-Star center Brad Miller, to clear space for the rebuilding process.

Paul Westphal was hired last month as the team’s fourth head coach in just over three years. The Kings had two first-round picks in last month’s draft, selecting guard Tyreke Evans fourth overall and forward Omri Casspi 23rd.

May, the son of former NBA player Scott May, led North Carolina to the 2005 national championship. He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.

[loveforthegame]

I can't believe the Kings went with May over Diogu.

Has he lost weight and gotten in shape or something that we don't know about??
