Kosher Ham Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Vishal, I simply thing it is a poorly constructed team. The pieces do not fit. I certainly have no faith in Wittman, but I don't know that the team has the depth to make them any better than they are right now either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I dont know how this flew over my head, but I just realized that Milwaukee traded Brandon Knight for a 1st rounder from Phoenix (and miles plumlee). Which 1st rounder you ask? Why, the protected pick from L.A. for Steve Nash! Oh my God. You are telling me that Milwaukee just got a top 5 pick in this draft on top of their already good team for nothing? **** me man. We have literally no chance in the coming years if we dont make a move this offseason. No more dicking around. EG and Witt have got to be banished from the land!

worldpost Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The bad drafting and the mediocre play of Otto Porter has relegated this team to forced moves involving older veterans. It's amazing how much has Kris Humphries meant to this team and how much his injury has hurt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Or rather forced moves for veterans have destroyed the potential of young talent this team has drafted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Missing on the Jan Vesely pick was bad. Missing on Otto may be even worse. But the worst was not finding any decent bench players with the other draft picks we had. Chris Singleton: bust Trevor Booker: below average and gone Kevin Seraphin: mediocre, but a decent big man off the bench Jordan Crawford: technically not a draft pick, but he basically came in as a rookie here anyways. Also busted for this team. Tomas S.: ugh yeah .... Too many wasted opportunities. Edited March 25, 2015 by No Excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Missing on the Jan Vesely pick was bad. Missing on Otto may be even worse. But the worst was not finding any decent bench players with the other draft picks we had. Missing on both is unforgivable. Just look at what Ernie has done with the wizards last 10 1st round picks. 2006 18th Oleksiy Pecherov - Bust 2007 16th Nick Young - NBA punchline 2008 18th JaVale McGee - Another Joke 2009 5th Traded for Peanuts - Wasted 2010 1st John wall - Star 2011 6th Jan Vesely - Bust 2011 18th Chris Singleton - Bust 2012 3rd Bradly Beal - Currently a role player. 2013 3rd Otto Porter - Not looking good. 2014 18th Traded for Gortat - Contract looking scarier by the minute. How the hell does this man manage to stay employed? SteveMcQueen could have done better with 10 tries reading scouting reports online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Doubtful. I would have probably picked TRob in 2012 and would have picked via dartboard at 6 in 2011. That was the year I liked Jared Sullinger and Harrison Barnes... Then they went back. Then I liked Derrick Williams and loved Enes Kanter and Jonas Valanciunas. When all were gone and we ended up with Vesely I was just happy we had a name. That was a demoralizing draft. In 12 and 13 I still felt really good about our picks. It kills me to watch how Randy has bungled them. I blame Ernie for putting vets in front of Porter. But I blame Randy the most for being too stupid to use him. I genuinely believe I could have drafted better than Shanahan though just from watching college games live and talking about them in the draft thread. I believe there are more than a couple regulars that could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Guys, it's not fair to call Otto a bust for as long as Witless is his coach. Although no one seems to know the answer to my earlier question of whether Otto has ever failed to break double digits in games he's started in, it certainly seems like he has done so in nearly all of them, if not all of them.

Going Commando Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You're right, I don't think it's fair to call Otto a bust because I think his only serious impediment to being successful is Randy Wittman. But I don't think we're getting rid of Randy Wittman. Hence my despair. He'll be a bust here because Wittman simply won't give him a real opportunity and we're stuck with Wittman like an aggressive case of Herpes.

Fergasun Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just like Spurrier wasn't holding back P. Ramsey and all the other players who fans have claimed were "ruined" by poor coaching - as if on the hardwood the coach dictates pure basketball skill and ability to score from 1 to 25 feet from the basket. To express my disagreement and displeasure, I want to share a song. This is for my own entertainment and by all means I would love to be wrong. I understand professional sports are hard and players work their tails off.. so Otto - I hope you dont care what fans say - but prove me wrong. Well - Otto is a bust, he's a big fat bust, he's the biggest bust in the whole wide world. He's a stupid bust, if there ever was a bust, he's a bust to all the boys and girls. On Monday he's a bust, on Tuesday he's a bust, and Wednesday to Saturday he's a bust. Then on Sunday, just to be different he's a super King Kamayamaya BE-UST!

Going Commando Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 How would anyone know what Otto can and can't do on the court? 5 minutes in the third quarter here. Three minutes in garbage time there. 25 minutes and a start there and he gives you 12 on five of seven shooting. DNPs the next two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wall Beal Otto Peirce Gortat I guarantee that lineup is our best lineup available. We all said this before the season started. We are still saying it now. We have only seen it a couple of times, where it was highly successful. Why in God's name are they not playing it. Seriously, Randy's only excuse is to hold it close to the chest for the playoffs. But thats just stupid. Instead we get to see 3 guard lineups...Otto is miles better than Ras, Temple, Webster, and Sessions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I've been saying this for years now but I wouldn't be totally shocked if Cal is coaching the Wiz at some point.
