Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
He had another missed wide-open dunk.

Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
I am amazed that a thread with a title as BS as this has gotten this many responses.

Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
Threads that state truths don't get any responses, so it's no surprise that this one has four pages worth.

Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
Another thing I was thinking about was that I heard Mike Rice talking about meeting Outlaw's father, and he said that the guy was almost as tall as Travis, but he was built like a brick. So, we do have a lot to look forward to in Travis Outlaw's future game frame. He will most likely play PF one of these days. I see him being the second coming of the "Reign Man," (best case scenario) if he can get more aggressive and play above the rim rather than settle on turnaround jumpers. He will be something special, you mark my words.

I don't think Outlaw would be better with more weight. He should still fill out some, but he doesn't need to pack it on. And Outlaw isn not a PF..

Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
He didn't look that fantastic last night, to be honest. I kept waiting for him to take it to the freaking rack. He hit some clutch jump shots which were nice, but until he learns to draw fouls and go to the line, he'll be nothing.
For when he drafted him, Bob Whitsitt wasn't thinking 'man, with such athleticism, he could be a great jumpshooter in this league.'

Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
Travis can hit shots when he is open and such, but a lot of the time he is out there sometimes he looks like he is "Afraid of the ball" so to speak. I don't know if you know what I am talking about, but its kind of like when some kids get introduced to baseball or football for the first time, and every time they touch the ball they look nervous to take it. Thats why so many passes and rebounds to him end up hitting the floor once before he does eventually gather them in.

Re: Travis Outlaw: Worst player in the NBA?
I just think that right now we're watching Travis Outlaw the "boy" and someday we're going to be watching Travis Outlaw as a grown man and we're all going to wonder what we were worried about. Some people mature at different rates. He's uncertain because he lacks experience. Patience grasshoppers.

Ha and Travis have the worst hands I have ever seen. Even I at 5'9 can grab a freaking rebound. These guys have to pat it around a few times before they chase it down.(if it doesn't wind up back in the hands of the opponant) GRAB THE FREAKING BALL!!!! This is the NBA, not the special olympics.
