Where the hell is this guy? He was released by Minny after the Davis-Walker deal.
Is he still recovering from an injury? He's a good enough player to come off the bench for any team in the NBA.

He faded into obscurity in the NBA... apparently no one wants him now.

I remember when I was pissed when we took Head over him in the draft (not like Head is anything special, but he's at least one of our better shooters) and thought it'd come back to haunt us/
He still has talent though, has a good touch around the basket, problem is in college and so far in the pros, he just can't seem to get out of that injury bug. Hopefully he makes a return sometime.

I'll never forget the way this guy tore it up in college. I hope my guys (Lakers) give him a look this offseason when he fully heals from rehab. I believe he can still blossom as a player being as he is still very young. I want to say "Kwame Who?" after its all said and done.

He's recovering from an illness, not sure if he's fully recovered, though.

My fellow Dutchman, please do not be fooled. Wayne Simien is NOT an NBA talent.

I think that he would make a decent back up if he got some playing time, which he didn't when he was back in miami. There are worse players out there

I thought he would've been a Haslem type of player but it hasn't panned out...yet.

At the beginning of his second year, SVG gave him a few regular minutes and he would play good. He had nice range and he would bang inside for rebounds. But then SVG stepped down and Riley took over and his minutes stopped. Then his next season he got salmonella during the offseason and barely played a few games the whole season. It took him a year to recover from it. He lost a lot of weight cause of the disease so he's probably still trying to get his game back right now.

He's never been able to stay healthy. Besides the salomanella poisoning, he had knee surgery this past offseason and wasn't ready to go by the time training camp came around. He is still recovering from that, and -- if he wants to try and continue his career -- will likely be invited to be on someone's summer league team this offseason.
But he's a very religious guy who is interested in becoming a minister/pastor (not sure what they are called in his church). So it's posibel he might simply go off and do that instead.

I never saw him as being Haslem's equal...but figured he could have a decent Michael Smith-like career. I liked his fire...hope he makes it back (if that's what he wants).
