Harrow
Blackman
Bearup
Hord
Skal

solid list
even though it hurts me
when JB committed i was jumping for joy, sadly he was a PF in a guards body and never lived up to expectations

i guess we could remove JB and put in Carruth (i would feel better lol)

I'm not saying he wasn't decent..just overrated. Couldn't shoot well and not a good IQ for the game.

so we agree. overrated for his status coming in.
 
Not for how his expectations were

Absurdly high expectations aren't his fault nor do they change the numbers. It was always goofy to set the floor at Clyde Drexler and set the ceiling at on the next evolutionary step improvement on Jordan or so.

Some of his issue was taking way too many threes and Pitino also hating the mid range jumper which Rhodes should have been strongly pushed to concentrate on which would have been more than plenty to allow him to beat his man with great regularity.

Shoot or transfer rule needed an exception because he was never going to get what a good shot was so put him in positions where the margin for error is higher and passing is more likely after drawing a defender.
 
I don't get a pick like Andrews or Mulder. No one expected them to be major players
IMO.
Mulder was hyped by many on this board last season to be a major player

And...Andrews was overrated by just getting a scholly

I didn't blame him or any player for their expectations coming in.
