Corey Magette.

He needs to get away from the Clippers to have a better role too because Thornton is going to be a really nice player at that position.

I'm not too sure if Coreys being underutilized. Isn't he averaging 20 5 and 2? Well its at least somewhere in that ball park. idk if he can play much better than that.

Damien Wilkins? Guy was playing awesome ball, and they just threw him at the end of the bench to play youth.

He's become a leader and go to guy on that team because of the injuries the clippers had to endure. If Brand was healthy and Livingston been playing this season, Maggette would have been treated like a role player, which is what happened last season. He's a far better scorer than that.

Lee and Balkman.....only Knicks that can play, only Knicks that other teams want, and yet they come off the bench.

um no Balkman is absolute trash, he is actually justified to not play. He plays average defense at best, cannot shoot, and is a complete negative on the offensive end. You could just watch Ricky Davis toy with him tonight and realize he sucks. lee cannot play defense either.

To some extent Kevin Martin. He should be the #1 option on offense for the Kings NOT Artest. I swear I never see play calls for Martin this year...Probably a couple plays here and there but that is it...Stupid ball hoggers in our team are avoiding Martin's game as a whole... Martin is averaging 23 points on 15 shots...He should be at least averaging ~27 PPG on 17/18 shots if he is #1 option of the team...At times, Martin is not in the offense, which is pretty sad and annoying...

Definitely Durant ...

SG ????? He should play PF or at least SF ...

Then I agree with Netsforce, Kirilenko is a PF, plain and simple.
He would be great playing at 4.

What about Belinelli ? a guy that scored 37 points and averaged 20 in summer league is forced to play 5 minutes in 1 game every 5-6 ones ...

lol at anyone saying okafor haha. the guy is holding himself back, hes bad. he comes out some nights and plays like a complete beast. then other nights he will just play like the biggest pansy. he will refuse to do anything on offense. hell, mutombo swatted him twice in a row on easy dunks when the game was already over. just because its that easy. i love the bobcats, but i hate okafor. i dunno if its the coaching or him, but he has not improved on a single thing since college. :nonono:

Jack wore plaid wrote:Sergio Rodriguez. He hardly plays at all, and when he does, Nate McMIllan puts the brakes on him. He would flourish in a system like Phoenix runs..(ironically Phoenix traded his draft rights to Portland)


You are right, he needs to get out of Portland, Nate doesnt like his play, and he is never going to play consistent minutes over there, he'll find a home in any run&gun team like GS,DEN or PHO.

The first that come to mind once I read the topic was Bogut, also AK47, Brandan Wright, Lee...
