Wallace probable to play vs Pistons


BOBCATS_BALL!

If Gerald Wallace isn't in the all star game I give up on the NBA. This is MVP worthy effort he gives and now the points are starting to come. Being a great teammate, excellent rebound, smart player, great defender, and now go to scorer. What else does it take to get in?

This guy is a rare example of what's right in the NBA. Unfortunately for the NBA, I emphasize he's a rare example. With probably 40% of the roster spots wasted on former high school players, former 1 and done college players and european players who never reach their potential, seeing someone like Gerald who came in as a bench player and gradually has improved each season is a treat. I really wonder how good Gerald can become. If he ever established a more consistent jump shot, watch out.

Wallace was a one and done player who has finally reached his potential.

There are definitely a lot of great one and done, highschool and euro players in the league. I just look at guys like Jonathan Bender, Dorrell Wright, Darko Milicic etc who've been in the NBA 5-6 years and barely scored a 1000 points and wonder when will teams move on and start giving other guys chances.

NBA just seems short on talent to me. How guys like I listed before and Eddy Curry stay around is confusing to me.

When we had the expansion draft who did the choosing for us? Was it Bernie? Getting rid of Bernie was one of the biggest mistakes the Bobcats made.

Yes it was Bernie, and once Jordan came on board, Bernie's role with the team was obsolete. He's in Chicago now. Bernie used to get trashed all the time, but in hindsight he was nowhere near as bad as portrayed and you can at least say he got the minimal talent he had back then to perform hard every night.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
