We met our quota of "dudes who can't make FTs" when we signed Ben.
But.... we like old Chuckers who can't defend better.
He can't shoot, he has no real post game.
Just another athletic wing that can dunk, dime a dozen in the NBA.
Loved watching him play for VT though. ^_^
but we already have a wingman who can't even dribble the ball between his legs without losing control; rip hamilton.
liked the kid a lot and would've liked to see him develop more. but let's be real- he was athletic and that was about it. he can't handle to save his life and his shot was streaky at its best. sorry to see him go- i would've kept him around. but it's not like he's a huge loss or even any kind of loss really. we lose a kid i liked but not one who would've made any sort of impact IMO.
the phrase 'dime a dozen' comes to mind.
You could pluck another guy just like him from any number of places.
Dude might have been a "good kid", athletic and all that shit but at the end of the day his time was up and it was time to go
this post is doubling as the phrases that should be used less thread
Melvin Levitt.
even better- lou roe.
Lou Roe wasnt an athletic freak. He was actually a decent player that was cut down by injuries.
not the athlete washington is, but IMO he was a similar player. a good athlete with no real position, poor ball handling skills and poor jumpshot. he was a better collegiate player than washington for sure. but his skills did not translate to the nba very well at all.
so i don't think he would've stuck for long anyway. maybe as an end of the bench guy but even then...
