POB's Problem

Actually there was a study that was done that said Wikipedia was accurate to about 95% with respect to Britannica. It's improved with their new flagging options.

According to my current professors, wiki-anything isn't a valid source. You gotta triangulate!! After all, it was probably some guy who didn't graduate from his school and still wanted to claim he was an "alum" that posted that!

You do not have to be a graduate in order to be an alum. From the "Associated Press Stylebook," which is the style used by most media outlets:

alumnus, alumni ... use when referring to a man (alumni in the plural) who has attended a school.

So POB is an alum, but not a graduate. Same with Danny Granger, TCS, Rashad Austin, etc.

The comments by the well respected coach, Doc Rivers, in today's PJS says it all. Maybe Don Nelson saw the same things.

In the NBA you need to want it real bad! It is the most competitive sport league in all the pro sports, period. If you do not really have that fire burning inside you there's someone else as athletic and physically capable who will take your spot. There's no room in the NBA for you to not have it as your number one priority, unless your name is Shaq, and even then he played with a lot of heart.

I hope POB does well as much as the next guy but his draft was a big surprise to most of us. He was draftee because of two big games against Pitt and KU...it wasn't because of what he did during the season because he was inconsistent kind of like how it is for him in the pros...maybe he will develop. I hope so but it doesn't seem likely.
there are worse things than a journeyman backup big man though

A backup center isn't deactivated.

That's true....a back backup center?
