I knew he was a headcase, but I was pretty surprised when I read this. Poor guy, looks like things have gone downhill very fast for him.

Him and Luther Wright are two literal headcases drafted by the Jazz.

Why is he taking life so hard? I am sure he could have been living a good life if he continues playing in China.

WTF? He's probably made more money already than many here will in their lifetimes, and he's reduced to this?
I'll never understand these guys who get such an astounding opportunity - like playing in the NBA, even if only for a couple years - and end up like this. Sad.

He is obviously mentally confused. Which is why, IMO, he didnt make it in the NBA. He had potential and he is only 25.

Burglary?!? What the hell???
Why would a former NBA player even consider breaking into someone's home?

What a great deal! I wonder who his agent was?

Sal DiFazio, who's also Jayson Williams' agent.

At least one lesson here, never employ someone named "Sal" unless you want to be a mob boss.
He may well have just been too stupid to not let himself be set up in something, but he also always seemed like a bit of a head case. No telling.

I think Kobe tramatized him... I remember a few years back they sent him in for a couple minutes to check Kobe. The announcer said "Kobes eyes just lit up when he saw Synder checking in" he quickly dropped like 5 buckets in a row on him while making him look really bad and he was rushed back to the bench... lol. Not trying to talk mess just Always had that memory of him. He looked lost... Sad to hear though... These guys need serious consultation on how not to blow all your money in a couple years.
edit: he was on the jazz so you guys shouldnt be offended...
