The greatest player to be cut down by injury.

JR Rider had some serious skills.  Does psychosis count as an injury?

Baker's problem wasn't injury... His problem was that he was SOFT.

 

Kemp's problem was Chicken, HoneyBiscuits, and Graeter's Ice Cream.

Wasn't Vin Baker's problem alcoholism?

I wasn't the most dedicated Hawks follower at the time, only vague memories: How good could DeMarr Johnson have been? Jeremy Lamb, Courtney Lee-ish?

I thought about that too.   He seemed good at that first season (his injury was after that right?) but I can't say he seemed like a star.   More like Josh Childress?  Maybe I"m selling him short.

No Love for Tracy McGrady? Remember when he used to be better (skill-wise) than Kobe?

[OGRat]

Anyone mention Terrell Brandon?
