Turned out, as talented a player as he was, his brain never allowed him to achieve the high goals he thought he deserved.

I remember blaming it all on Nellie, but turns out old drunk Nellie was spot on......Again!

It wasn't just you. That kid's raw talent was tantalizing. I wouldn't say it was quite to Giannis level, but it wasn't too far off. He could handle, pass a bit and and was extremely athletic at like 6'10". Seems like he eventually carved out a nice career in Europe. But, if the exact same player came around now, teams would continue to gamble on that potential. He was a better prospect coming out then say Salaun was this year.
