Frank Oleynic! hahah. I just read up on the history of the Seattle Sonics– He averaged 27ppg in D1 college and was the ‘Supes 1st round pick in 1974. After two seasons in the NBA he was cut adrift.
Apparently he was an amazing pure-shooter but this was LONG BEFORE the 3-point line.

I thought one of the biggest wash ups and surprises was Harold Miner. Everybody thought he was Jordonesque.

Even though hard core duke fan…Danny Ferry!

Hurley was in a near fatal car accident months into rookie season…never recovered. Not fair to consider him here. The tore his acl.

Redick – needs to get some time. Shows he can score when has minutes. Move to another team to see what he has.

Jay Williams – Hurley like fate, but was his decision to get on bike. NJ/Duke pg’s are cursed. I think would be top 5 pg right now. Baron Davis type player. Rookie year was bumpy…so was others like Gary Payton. He turned out ok.

Bassy and Gerald Green has plenty of time.

Dajuan wagner and Jay Williams had bad luck.

Adam Morrison and Sean May were trash from the go.

@ nicky.

Brilliant minds think alike. Brand over Rasheed is marginal. When Rasheed comes to play, and I think in a UNC vs. Duke game he’d be ALL IN like 4 aces, it would be no question.

I’d even go McCants as the 6th man, at this point he’s as good as Stack.

* Adam Morrison
I figured he’d be a bust for where he was picked (3rd overall, over Brandon Roy!?,) but I figured he’s a more gritty Wally or Jason Kapono, not just barely hanging on at this point.
