I like how they spend all of the comments saying how great and full of potential he is, and then they compare him to Kwame Brown. Everyone around the league knew that Dwight was going to be something special, so I don't know what they were thinking...

Yeah, that's the reason why I wanted him over Okafor, because he had a handle and range, lol. Oh well we got the man we wanted regardless of the reason. :clap:

Weaknesses: Needs to develop more of a low post game...Tends to rely on his athleticism too much, which is common at this age. Has good footwork, but doesn't use it enough.

Sounds about right...

lol yea they were off on those picks. I still kinda have a soft spot in my heart for Deshawn. He would always do the craziest move to the hoop and then miss the layup. I wish he would've swallowed his pride a bit and took a cut to stay here.


Speakin of people mis-judging Dwight, does anyone remember draft day when Dick Vitale was saying how crazy the Magic were for taking him over Emeka Okafor? lol what an ass
Whether you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T, you're right.

pretty much anyone who knows anything about draft sites knows nbadraft.net is a joke. That place sucks.

not for nothing but DeShawn was a monster in HS...MJ? no...Kobe would have been a much closer assessment...actually DS was WAY more aggressive in HS than Kobe...
