I can't believe people tolerate you on this board.

"We require our members to show respect for others. Respecting their person, their time and their opinions – even if you disagree with them."

I didn't even call him a bust until you started insulting me. I just was trying to make the point that prospects often get over-hyped. Do you think Skita is going to be better than Dirk? Do you think he's going to be a combination of Garnett and Kobe?

Any casual fan will tell you than 3.9 ppg on 29% shooting is not a good way to start an NBA career. There have been a lot of 18 year olds and foreign players in the NBA, many have struggled at first, and gone on to good careers. But I don't think any of them, even Dirk who may have come the farthest, who have started off so poorly.

I'm trying to keep this civil, although I don't know why I bother.
