It doesn't help that he sometimes looks disinterested in the game
Is he or is he not the most overrated soft piece of in recent history? I'm gonna go with yes. It's hilarious how Laker fan speaks of him as if he is the second coming of Wilt. The dude hasn't proved , and it's getting really tiresome hearing "oh Lakers are unstoppable with Ron/Kobe/Pau/Bynum."
While I agree that the first three players make an excellent trio, Andrew Bynum. Dude is nothing but a scrub and will never amount to more than a Kwame Brown.
And just for laughs, I remember timvp saying how he had a MySpace before he was drafted and his status was bisexual.
...not that there's anything wrong with that.
But yeah, Bynum blows.

well that's just pure hate there.
bynum is tbh is far from a scrub, BUT he really really is not a role player either, I can't imagine the words missing piece and bynum in the same sentence.
Having said that, bynum has showed great offensive moves, and has a nice soft touch, but problem with him is mentality. His mind is as soft as pudding, i'm sure whenever he is being chewed up by phil or kobe he curls up into a little ball and becomes useless on both ends.
Plus i don't know if people notice this, when bynum doesn't get touches, his defence suffers.
Cmon now, I can start a thread and throw Matt Bonner way under the bus as well, show some respect plz.
He cashed in. What's your excuse?
I dont think any of us have ever labeled Bonner as the next coming of Wilt, KAJ, or anything like that though.
In all fairness though, Bynum has the talent and physique to be a beast in the league...Im just not sure about his mentality. He seems like a little mentally.
i think what differs bynum from other potential great centers is mentality and that goes a long way.
Mentality is what seperates the Kobes from the Vince Carters, although both are talented, it's Kobe's drive and mentality to win which makes him a step over carter.
I think bynum will be similar in the sense that he will be a formidable force, but never be great, kinda like brand. And i'm sure for most laker fans that is more than enough.
bynum isnt the next Wilt or KAJ.....get real! Next Duncan is more like it.
He's just young.
Your logic compels me
Shush, he has better fundamentals than Tim Duncan, he's gonna average a quad double this season.
Spurs fans need to stop obsessing over laker role players, and worry more about their own team. No real laker fan expects or wants anything more out of bynum than 10 points and 10 rebounds. If he gave us that effort every night, that is good enough.
Kwame is right for once...worry about getting a couple of wins in the first round.
He's going to be great.... in his next contract year...

He's a bit overhyped, but you can't deny that he's big, he's young, and he's got some skills. If the Spurs had gotten him instead, we'd be all over his nuts.
Lies, Bynum is the next coming of KareemIs he or is he not the most overrated soft piece of in recent history? I'm gonna go with yes.

Maybe I missed something, but I have never assumed that Bynum would be the next coming of Wilt...
He is, however, not to be labeled a bust just quite yet. If he were to average 12 and 10 next year--I'll be happy. If he gives more and lives up to the potential, then that would be even better. Don't get it twisted in regards to comparing the two...
Although, at least Bynum can say he's almost reached the le amount of the late great Wilt...
Bynum was pretty damn good in the regular season. I'm not sure what happened in the playoffs, especially since he looked like he got some rhythm back in the final regular season games.
He was playing like a top 5 center earlier in the year, and very well may be a top 5 center next year. Maybe not the next Wilt (ofc not), but he ain't no scrub!
Bynum has alot of potential but there are those who confuse his huge came against the Clippers as a sign that he can be a star.
This.
We only need that soft piece of crap to get some rebounds and play defense.
I look at guys like Oden and Yao and worry more about Bynum's knees than I do his heart. He's got the goods to be a terrific player if he can stay healthy.. Just about any player is going to look passive when he's sharing the court with Kobe and Gasol. It's tough to justify getting aggressive with the ball when you've got two teammates out there that are so offensively gifted.
He's overpaid by a long shot, but that doesn't make him soft.
dude is lazy and got no heart it seems
Why a thread to post hate on a young role palyer? If your assessment is correct be glad your team is not the one paying him..If he pans out then he is just "earning his contract"
I say next year double double if he plays significant mins. his ceiling is probably a noptch below Duncan but at worst he will still be better than Kwame Brown, Oberto, Okur, Bogut, Oden etc.
At center it doesnt take much in fact if Duncan were to admit to being a center he is first team ALL nba right now ...when healthy even over Dwight ...
yeah he is overrated. sad that the lakers paid bynum the type of money odom is asking for but odom is the one closing out games
bynum isnt even as good as jerome james in his prime, and look at how that story ended
I'm just trying to make conversation. I'm bored.
