    I don’t follow sports that much, but a coworker used to show me clips of him from high school and college and we all thought he was gonna be crazy. I remember the first year he played and I think he was out due to an injury before the season began? Then I don’t think it got much better from there. I barely hear about him now and I guess he still gets hurt a bunch… sad, really thought he was going to be huge.

      Yeah it’s sad since the potential is there. I don’t think he’s played in a single playoff game.

      Closest was in a play in game against the Lakers where he was dominating but left with and injury which pretty much sums up his career so far.

      Pelicans built a team around a guy who will never play enough games in a season to achieve anything. I wish they could trade him
