Maybe if he's actually in shape and has learned to play in a pro offense, he might have a chance to be a 12th man.

What happened to the peeps who said this guy was good?

What happened to the peeps who said this guy was good

Lacks maturity more than he lacks game.

[Kori Ellis]

He was completely clueless when with the Spurs. I've never seen anyone appear so lost on the floor.

[exstatic]

Should fit in well in Pot-land.

[ChumpDumper]

He was putting up some pretty sick boarding numbers in the D-League. Portland needs all the help it can get in that department.

I guess they figure seeings he knows Ricky and Cedric Bongson, that he can hook them up with some of that maryjuwana stuff.
