All time wasted NBA talents ?

AK in his pre-contract days was even better on defense than Gobert.

lol Gobert in his rookie year ?? ok

Bowie. Lol sandwiches between Hakeem Olajuwon and MJ. in the draft. A draft that featured some all time greats. Lol.

He was another player whose career was destroyed by injury. He was a good player when healthy.

I actually thought that Ben McLemore could have been really good. What about Hasheem Thabeet? Wasn't he going to be the next Mutombo? Also, I was a huge fan of both Derrick Williams (Arizona) & Michael Beasely (KState) in college. I thought that they would have better pro careers.

Imagine him on this team pre-paid AK that is. Imagine him and Gobert on the same team defense, and he would’ve played mostly pf.

I imagine the same spacing problems we had with Favors. Except Derrick was able to play backup 5 and have the great P&R chemistry with Ingles. AK wanted touches; he wouldn't have those with Donovan hogging the ball. AK was just unable to accept his limitations - or work on improving them. It was so comical hearing he had worked on his shooting and put on 15 lbs of muscle during the off-season.

you make it sound like AK wasn’t any better a shooter than favors. If AK had played during the hight of the three ball era and highbred 4’s he would’ve shot way more threes and had a much better overall 3pt %. He had several respectable 3pt % shooting year between 33% to 37% on 2 attempts per game. In today’s game he would’ve shot more and made more.

in what world was Mitchell ever a ball hog? This teams strength is passing and sharing the ball, and as much as I love Sloan, Quin is much better at tayloring his system to the strengths of his players. I think Quin would’ve used AK better than Sloan ever did.

He’s not a wasted talent. Lost his career injury.

by riding a motorcycle he was contractually prohibited from riding.
