Well, talent-wise he was good. I believe it was his baggage that made him into what he is now.

Attitude wasn't the best either. But, he def did have the talent. I personally hope he turns it around and gets back to the NBA.

Best of luck to JT. He had tremendous potential but a poor work ethic and additional issues off the court that kept him from reaching his potential. I am not so sure he has that potential anymore and while I wish him the best, it is difficult for me to imagine him coming back and being any better than an average reserve PG. That's probably on the hopeful side as well.

From the 1st pick in the D-League, to a NBA training camp roster spot. Jamaal Tinsley signs with the Utah Jazz.

Not bad for Utah, and Tinsley as well.
