John Hammond, Pistons assistant coach, said recently that no one that size and age is so quick, handles the ball or shots better, but true to be said Larry Brown would have made a bust of LeBron, too.
Few players could compete with Rasheed, Ben Wallace and McDyess, right from the high school and the Nuggets ware trying to go up in the draft to pick him. Jermain O'Neal couldnt get playtime either for 4 years.
But so far, Darko has showed very little for a #2 draft pick.
That doesn't changed the fact that you have labelled him a bust purely upon hersay. We won't know if his a bust until he actually starts getting playing time. There a countless players that have been dissapointments out of the draft but have redeemed themselves later down the track due to a change of situation or maturing.
Going after someone for shoving you warrants an ejection? Bogut did nothing. This happens all the time in the nba and the most the players get is a technical foul.It's very hard to get ejected in summer league. Good job, Bogut
I like that fact that Bogut has a bit of a mean streak in him. Not too many foreign big men (granted he played in utah) show that type of fiestiness need in the nba. i.e D-A-R-K-O
Hersay? Did you saw him play?
No I didn't see it, but i'm just going along with what the article says. It says they made "no contact."
Wish I had watched it though. NO NBATV
Sorry for highjacking Boguts thread. I was talking about Darko with a person that posted before.No I didn't see it, but i'm just going along with what the article says. It says they made "no contact."
Wish I had watched it though. NO NBATV
The Darko jury got sent home early on a technicality--the fact that he sucks!!!
"It was a pretty quick hook," Bogut said after the game. "I needed a rest anyway."
What a dumbass. Sure that does happen in the NBA a lot where players shove eachother and get Techs...but that last quote is what makes him an ass.
That's exactly what I was thinking. In wanting to become nba material, you say the last thing that needs to be said. Moronic jesture IMO."It was a pretty quick hook," Bogut said after the game. "I needed a rest anyway."
What a dumbass. Sure that does happen in the NBA a lot where players shove eachother and get Techs...but that last quote is what makes him an ass.
Bogut seems to be one of those macho/chip-on-their-shoulders Aussies and South Africans I've encountered.
Maybe getting in a fight was stupid, but nobody will paint him with the dreaded "soft" label.
He has had an at ude even before he got drafted.
Its typical Australian humor dripping with sarcasm I actually laughed when I read it. I don't expect you to nescessarily understand it just know its not meant to be taken the way you took it."It was a pretty quick hook," Bogut said after the game. "I needed a rest anyway."
Australians are not Euros, I'm sure you know that and while no one has labelled him as one in this thread note that our general demeanor is very different from a European. The same can be said for Argentinians I guess.
Retaliation was certainly not clever but it happens on the court, most players I know have been in exchanges with other players, verbal or otherwise. In this case it was a verbal one that should have resulted in techs for both players, but that fault lies at the refs as appose to the players. Basically I don't see how you can fault either player in this instance and you just have to get on with it.
Unfortunately there seem to be those that want to take issue with Boguts actions regardless of the facts which as presented here just seem to be a typical on court altercation. Anyone who has been around basketball for more than a few years knows this is harmless and to treat it otherwise to hate on a player is narrow minded.
On Darko my point was that its way to early to label him as a bust and he has seen an infinite amount more nba court time than Bogut. Calling someone a bust during there first summer league is laughable.
haha dont piss an ozzie off lol trust me on this one,
watch this
the warriors will win the NRL this year and the all blacks will kick ur wallaby asses in the tri nations
I wouldn't go that far.bogut is darkoŽ no.2
Oh yes. Not really all his fault, he came into a team that didn't develop him correctly, and now his confidence is nonexistent. I don't think he'll ever recover enough psychologically to be the superstar he promised.
you're right! I've seen Crocodile Dundee
"Now this is a knife!"
Hayden: Lucky I'm not a Rugby kind a guy. But I always watch Aus vs NZ is Rugby. Dunno why its just a thing, everyone does it. I always enjoy it too
I wanna see him vs. Shaq. I'll not be surprised if he starts crying like a after Shaq abuses his ass.
Darko is what 20??
Jermaine O'neal recovered fine from warming the bench with Portland.
I'm not a Darko lover by any means but I'm defending him to make a case. Theres always a chance for a player his age to overcome it all and get some help with a new coaching staff or whatever and grow into maybe not a star but a good player.
Dude I'm sure Duncan will give him a nice schooling as well. His a rookie not a superstar ffs, you shouldn't be expecting him or any of the draft picks to hold there own against Shaq in the first years of there career, Shaq dominated not only rookies but any centre of worth for a few years in there.
did you people think j oneal was a bust to when he sat on the bench in portland
Shaq could not dominate any other great centers (Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing) until they ware well past their prime.
His coach wasnt Larry Brown. Carmello did look like a complete bust at the Olympic games, and like a superstar at the end of the regular season with George Karl.
Lets hope Andrew Bogut does not go Kwame on the Bucks...
