Trouble with him is, that that one dimension, his shooting touch, never translated to this level, rendering him entirely useless (though I never thought of him as much more than a potential role player anyway). Factor in the injuries and you have the worst non-Darko top 3 pick in recent years (with Darko getting the edge since there was so much more talent behind him in the draft order).
Of course, my perspective is a bit scewed since my Bruins were the ones who made him cry in his last college game.
That was a rare moment of vindictive pleasure for me.

The love will be flowing early tonight, considering this will be the first time former Piston Nazr Mohammed will face his former team since he was traded to Charlotte for Primoz Brezec and Walter Herrmann last month.
A number of Pistons have spoken with Mohammed since the trade."Nazr, he's a true professional," Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter said."He understands how this business works. We miss him, but at the same time, he's in a better situation as far as playing time is concerned."We all know that's something he really wanted."
In the 13 games Mohammed has played with Charlotte, he has averaged 10.9 points and 8.2 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game. He had appeared in 21 games for Detroit, averaging 3.3 points and 3.5 rebounds while playing 10.9 minutes per game. Like Mohammed, Brezec has also kept in contact with his former teammates. After Charlotte's win against Boston, Brezec said he sent text messages to some of the Charlotte players that he's still close to."I know they work so hard," Brezec said. "I wish them well. I'm still friends with those guys. I can only say good things about those guys."
Brezec was thrilled when he and forward Walter Herrmann landed in Detroit in last month's trade, even saying in his introductory news conference that he hopes to retire a Piston. After a month of playing spot minutes, his feelings haven't changed. He said he's still happy with the Pistons.
"Obviously, I want to play, but I'm patient," Brezec said. "I'm going to wait for my chance, and when it comes, I'll take advantage."
Brezec has played in 10 games for the Pistons, averaging six minutes. As for tonight, he said he looks at his return to Charlotte as nothing out of the ordinary. "I'm professional," Brezec said. "I take every game serious." But coach Flip Saunders joked he was worried Brezec -- who runs on the energetic side as it is -- might be a little too jazzed. "I might have to ban all the caffeine from the locker room," Saunders said.
The skinny: Charlotte had lost seven of eight coming into the week before unlikely back-to-back Tuesday and Wednesday wins against two very hot teams. First the Bobcats ripped New Jersey, winners of five straight and seven of eight, at home. Then they really opened eyes, going to Boston
