I think he had 14 pts. He also pulled down I think 9 boards. If Zeller did that it might trigger a full-body orgasm.

I think Ben McLemore is going to turn out the better NBA player. Like Lamb before him, his stock fell at the wrong time but the skill remained.

When Lamb fell to 12, I just knew teams would regret it.

Even though Rex has played 2 more games than McLemore:

McLemore has played 273 more mins than Rex.
McLemore has put up 107 more shots than Rex.
McLemore averages 8 more mins of playing time a game than Rex.

Interestingly enough though, Rex has had 7 MORE assists than McLemore.
Oh, and Rex shoots a better % than McLemore (as crappy as they both are).

Given the amount of mins played and shots taken, I would think that most Bobcats fans would have a "full-body orgasm" if Rex was given the opportunities that McLemore has had.

Ben McLemore is trash. He's worst than even I thought he would be. I knew he would struggle, but he's been worst than Cody Zeller. Probably the only thing that McLemore has on Zeller is a specific skill set that should translate, which is 3-point shooting, but I guess I could say the same thing for Zeller because you can't teach 7-feet tall

I'm not surprised to see MCW on this list. I've gathered so many headaches watching him shoot us out of games that I've stopped watching Sixers games altogether ever since like two weeks ago

Cleveland is horrible, two #1 overall picks and two #4 overall picks in the last 3 years and they are still in the top 6 of the lotto...and they say Charlotte can't draft

Finally. He was the guy I wanted. I still like him and think he will work through all of this. I don't know what's going on in Cleveland. The Bynum thing and the way they have mishandled AB in my opinion. Mike Brown is in trouble I think.

I would have never let AB get on the floor until he was in game shape. I think they put the kid out there before he was ready. Not all on the Cavs though. AB has to be a pro and take responsibility for his career. Just don't forget he is still a young kid and everyone matures at different rates. Time for him to grow up and start playing up to his potential though.

He was both the guy I wanted the most and the guy I wanted the least at the same time.

I was scared of him.

I agree with you though hotrod, the talent is there - he just needs to get his body (and now his head/confidence) right.

There was one really nice baseline power dunk that he through down last night that would have been good for him.

Totally agree the kid is a talent all day. Give him some minutes and run some plays for him and watch his confidence grow. I never bought that talk of " biggest draft bust in history" . He'll be fine.

Have any of you been paying attention to Jeremy Tyler in New York? I think Charlotte may have missed out on a legit player & draft day steal when they traded him away for cash considerations in 2011. I would venture as far to say that Tyler might be better than Cody Zeller

I have never understood why you wouldn't hold onto a big with such upside potential. SWedd explained to me at the time that the reason they purportedly sold Tyler to GS was to use the $2 mln to buy out Biz's Spanish league contract. Still, selling Tyler seemed shortsighted and is one of the things that stick in my craw from recent Bobcat history.
