Eventually he'll get on a good team and provide a spark off the bench and get in everyone's good graces again.

    He'll prob get the 6th man of the year award like every other good player who doesn't have a true position. Look who's won it over the last 15 years:

    Lamar Odom
    Jason Terry
    Leandro Barbosa
    Ben Gordon
    Antawn Jamison
    Bobby Jackson
    Corliss Williamson
    Rodney Rogers
    Danny Manning
    Tony Kukoc

    All Tweeners
    Wow, this is quite intriguing.

    He's talented, probably just not a hard worker. His confidence has prolly gotten shot down completely as well.

    I never noticed this before but you are right. Most of these players were consider stars at one point in their careers but shine the most when playing behind the true superstars.

    I'll also mention Monta Ellis...this is a guy who Rose said can jump higher than him and has a ton of physical tools but just can't seem to get to that next level.

    Andrea Bargnani gets mention as well.

    Worst rebounder ever for a regular rotation player in history.
