Nah, there are some good players that come from Kentucky that I would love to have on the team, with something between their ears. ie. Booker, KAT, Wall, and Tony Davis.djy2j wrote:A nicer way of saying, "Don't draft players from Kentucky"In2ition wrote:Stop drafting players with zero between the ears, should be a mandate.

Crazy how big a waste of talent Beasley was. He was unbelievable in college. Has there been a bigger non injury bust in the last 10 years?
Re: Suns News: Week 18 2/22-2/28
That one's still a head-scratcher for me. I thought he should have been the #1 pick that year. I guess that's what all that "between-the-ears" stuff is about.Split T wrote:Crazy how big a waste of talent Beasley was. He was unbelievable in college.

Re: Suns News: Week 18 2/22-2/28
Just thinking about #1 overall picks, Anthony Bennett was worse, but you could argue he never had the talent anyway. Bargnani is pretty horrendous. Many others like Kwame Brown and Michael Olowokandi were horrible, but they're not in the last 10 years.

It's probably the biggest bust of the last generation or so. Beasley was dominant in college.Split T wrote:Crazy how big a waste of talent Beasley was. He was unbelievable in college. Has there been a bigger non injury bust in the last 10 years?

INF has very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like Ryan McDonough.

OK, when's the next Suns' win? I'm going with Monday, March 14th, at home against the TWolves.

... and he'd sign Gugliotta, L** L****** and trade for Penny Hardaway, then trade Kidd for Marbury, if he was.
Re: Suns News: Week 18 2/22-2/28
Bennett and thabeet were terrible, but neither was that great in college either. There was a lot of bust potential. Bennett never should have gone first and thabeet only went 2ND because of his height. Darko is a good one though. He was supposed to be a superstar, Dirk on the perimeter but willing to mix it up down low. I faintly remember even a few nba people saying Cleveland should consider him over LeBron. Probably not entirely serious, but illustrates how highly thought of darko was.The Bobster wrote:Anthony Bennett? Hasheem Thabeet?
