Cause ‘foulteam’ made no sense

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. Not gonna grade the deals or anything, just plain facts. And they just don’t look right if you’re a Grizzlies fan. Pau has always been one of my favorite NBA players, many have dubbed him soft throughout his career, but i strongly disagree with that. But this is not about softness, this is about high draft picks (#1, #2 and #3) and how they have utilized their talent. Remember, Gasol was a #3 in 2001, and ROY the next season. He’s a legit 7 footer with great wingspan and he can bang inside using variety of post moves, as well as hit a long jumper. He’s also solid on defense, averaging nearly 2 blocks per game for his career and altering many more shots. So, it’s pretty safe to say that he hasn’t disappointed, maybe he could’ve done more, but definitely solid so far.

Let’s have a look at the new Grizzlies’ frontcourt. That’s Kwame Brown, drafted 1st in ‘01, Darko Milicic, 2nd pick in ‘03, and Stromile Swift, the 2nd player taken in ‘00 NBA draft. In Jim Carrey language, that’s Bust and Buster. And Busterer. Not necessarily in that order of course. Those three top-2 picks have 19.5 NBA seasons behind them, only three of which featured a double digit scoring average. No one ever went over 11.8 ppg (Swift in 2001/02). They have only one 30+ mpg season (Kwame in 2003/04, 30:18). Not single one of those three once hot-prospect centers ever averaged more than 7.4 rpg in a season. They totaled 1501 turnovers and 1269 blocks in 1140 career games, although they are supposed to be solid defenders and don’t have the ball in their hands too much on offense (TO numbers justify that). Grizzlies fans, i am truly sorry. You now have the dumbest frontcourt in history of basketball.
