      5 × 3s. All looked very natural. Why this disappeared from his game ! He could've been anything as Kobe hinted. I blame Brett Brown for not pushing him enough in his Rookie years . Doc Rivers didn't help . Despite the "Accountability " speeches earlier in the season. But of course Ben should blame himself. I dont believe he has a good work ethic. There were empty arenas during the past 2 seasons that he could've taken advantage of. Tried a few things offensively. All players brick shots from time to time . Its part of the learning curve. Why and how he developed this ridiculous fear !! Front office has to accept some of the blame too. For not allowing there to be consequences. Theyve had failed finals campaigns where Ben did the same thing.

    • @c420wizzle

      SlittoDoesCovers I totally agree! Although I think with his history of injuries, the fact that he's not in his 20's anymore, and the fact that his nba team will likely be making deep playoff runs for a while, I wouldn't be surprised if Bogut doesn't play for Australia anymore. But maybe he could still join the team and just play real limited minutes and be more of a mentor role for all those young kids. You also must have forgot about Joe Ingles. He could be a very useful Point-forward type player for the team, either as a starter or backing up Simmmons. I'm not Australian, I just enjoy seeing basketball continue to grow internationally and I like that the USA doesn't necessarily have a guaranteed run at a championship every single year anymore... Australia is stacked with talent. Spain has guys like the Gasol bros, Ibaka, Rubio, Calderon, Fernandez and Rodriguez. Even Canada has some nice youth that could develop into great talent in a couple years with Wiggins, Olynyk, Thompson, Bennett?, Ennis, Stauskas, Lyles etc. France's core is gettig a little older, but anytime you have Parker, Batum, Diaw, Fournier and crew you'll have at least a chance to excel! Those are just a few examples. Basketball at an international level is better than ever.

    Its crazy how he can pull up from deep in HS but never shoots a wide open shot on NBA .

    This is officially the best mixtape I've seen. No man that is 6'10" should be able to do what he does at 0:58. Let's see if he can live up to the hype. If anything, he won't suffer being one of 8 or more mcdonald's all americans like kids usually do on Duke/UK. He should be the focus at LSU and will put up monster numbers.

    Its absolutely amazing to look back when I first watched the video and thought he was another run of the mill prospect, but now hes been ROY, all star starter first team all rookie, so on and so forth, it's always fascinating seeing people u thought would make it, not, then people that weren't on your radar make it, Look at Derrick Jones JR, I thought would just fizzle out at UNLV and get his degree, but hes actually a solid player
