Eating Crow: VOL. Jonathan Isaac

[Mule Tears]

I really like the Andrei Kirilenko comparisons, fit's him perfectly imo.

AK47 was a way better player than Isaac, atleast at this stage in John's development.

Here's hoping that he doesn't turn out to the the bust that he's currently on pace for.

Do you watch much basketball? I'm guessing you don't. Saying that Isaac is currently on bust pace is one of the worst takes ive seen on here in a long time. && that is really saying something.

Someone judging someone else's level of basketball intelligence literally based off NOTHING is beyond comical. It takes a special kind of individual to pull something like that off, so good job pal.

To answer your question: Yes.

Judging and questioning are not the same thing. It takes a special kind of 4th grader to differentiate the two, so good job pal.

Questioning how much Magic basketball you have seen is valid after you pinned the bust tag on Isaac who has clearly turned a corner this season in everything from health to shooting to aggressiveness to chemistry with teammates.

People use the word "bust" way too liberally. If Isaac is considered a bust... what is Kwame Brown and Thabeet considered. lol

Needless to say... I don't see why he cannot be as good as or even better than Kirilenko. Simply comparing their production by ages will never tell the whole story. Everyone is different and matures differently... and on top of that... Kirilenko came into the league and played on a team led by 2 hall of famers....compared to a team struggling to find their identities. Mix that with early injuries... i'm sure that he is far from being considered a bust.

literally if he just left it at...."AK47 was a way better player than Isaac"... people might not have even bat an eye... but the following statement negated all credibility. haha

Kwame and Thabeet were considered busts

If Isaac is a bust, then when I walk my dog and she finds a house that has a dog inside, looks right at the door with her bugged out chihuahua eyes and takes a huge dump and I have to pick it up and I look into the bag I see Evan Fournier.

MIchael Olowokandi and Sam Bowie are all viewed as busts not because they were terrible, but because who they were drafted ahead. Many people, me included , view 19ppg for career/max contract player Wiggins as bust because he never met his expetations ( and has terrible actual impact on a team).

It's all about expetations. When you expect nothing you'll never view guy as bust.

If you tank to draft superstar and game changer than A LOT of players are simply underwhelming. And that's kind a reality of tanking and drafting in lottery. You don't lose 50-60 games a year to draft role player, yet in most cases you are lucky that guy pans out into one.
But there are teams like Spurs and Bulls who built decades long powerhouses by getting guys like Duncan and MJ (both teams never having championship before them ).
NBA rebuild through draft is like bad gambling addiction, you lose, than go all in again to recover, than you lose even more, than you repeat it all over agian, feeling like $**t while doing so.

Three things he has to work on to unlock his potential in the off-season... It's obvious.....

1. Body/strength-- He's getting there but he's not there yet. Often times I would see him having trouble finishing at The Rim. A lot of that has to do with strength, also sometimes he gets pushed out of position on the defensive end.

2. Shooting-- he has a ton of potential on this end. He just has to get more consistent with his shooting stroke, he might have to speed it up a bit so he can get a shot off a bit faster. Fortunately he shoots very well from the free-throw line so there is potential there.

3. Ball handling-- for someone who used to be a point guard he tends to be out of control at times. I think I heard somewhere that he still getting used to dribbling the ball at that height. He just needs to sharpen his ball-handling and get it tight to minimize turnovers. He doesn't need a million moves he just needs a tight handle it'll serve him just fine.

All in all this is going to be a big summer for him and hopefully he fulfills the potential that we all know he has.

I think a legit concern we had when he was drafted (compared to the other picks in the top 10), was that he had the highest bust potential.

There was concern he could be the next Jonathan Bender (picked in the top 5...and interestingly enough...everyone else drafted in the top 10 that year went on to have solid careers). He's already surpassed him just by his overall basketball IQ and feel for the game. And yes, the bust term is thrown around too loosely.

I think the only way Isaac was gonna bust was if he kept having reoccurring ankle injuries. He seems to have gotten over that though.

Welcome to the life on a NBA fan, where if you dont stay healthy and or make an immediate impact your few years you're considered a bust!

Make me wonder how difficult these scouts and GMs jobs are when the player they invest in, don't pan out!

[KillMonger]

his shot is holding him back, last night he got a TON of good looks but couldn't buy a basket even if it was for free. I just see no reason why he's not consistent considering his stroke at the line.

Definitely not the attribute of a bust. If you have talent and is willing to put in the blood sweat and tears... you definitely deserve the benefit of the doubt and patience. Happy to have heard this.

Can't claim you're not trolling if you're not even describing why he's a bust.
