Take notice that no Kwame on the ballot this year. Tyson Chandler is there though. Personally I have no problem with it.

Comments?

I have no problem with Kwame being left off, but I don't think Haywood should be on (even with the weakness at center). I also think Hughes should be on over people like Aaron McKie and Alvin Williams. None of them have a chance of making it anyways I suppose, so it's not a big deal.

I knew Kwame wasn't gonna be on the list, and I really didn't care. He sucks. Plain and simple, hes never gonna get better unless he works on his jumper and knows how to handle the rock downlow.

Can Chandler beat out JO with the huge Chicago fan base or will JO beat him in the vote

JarvisHayes24 · 11-13-2003, 08:19 PM

what huge chicago base? yeah they have alot of fans... but we are talking about everyone on the planet earth being able to vote. the % of the chicago fans is very small compared to the whole. Chandler has a shot at getting voted in, IMO.

Well, back when these ballots were compiled, Hayes probably looked like little more than a rookie backup to the best player on a relatively weak team. While I'm not quite sure how Kukoc got on there, I don't blame them for not including Hayes.

Not an issue at all. Kwame has to start producing.

I'm actually quite perplexed with kwame. He seems to play sluggishly sometimes. Which is a mystery to me. Is he not in shape. Does he have a drinking problem. He did get caught drunk driving this summer. Can't be 21 -22 yrs old and getting tired and playing with no energy.

I'm starting to think he doesn't have any work ethic.

Someone real close to him, his family or someone needs to make him understand he's blowing his career.

he has the talent I don't think thats the question but his energy and effort isn't where it should be.

I'm not ready to give up on him but the excuses for his lazy play is getting ridiculous.

He has the most talent of our big guys but he just doesn't seem to get it.

One day the light bulb will click on in his head the questiuon is will he be a Wizard when it does. I hope so I really do. The light clicks on for all young players at different times. Are the 2 years he spent getting the mental beat down from MJ and Collins tough for him to overcome.

I don't know. I just haven't seen through all my years of watching basketball a player his size and athleticism and quickness and raw skill just play without any emotion and apparent passion for the game. If pt doesn't give him a hint I don't know what will.

I always think about when the Wiz were looking at draft choices and they brought in Kwame and Tyson and the buzz was that Kwame was dominant. Looking at Kwame now I am still not surprised at that. I think that one on one he can break most guys down but when it comes to getting in the flow of the game, maintaining a consistent level of energy (as Jazzy said) and recognizing defenses he comes woefully short.

If Kwame has Tyson's intensity he could be dangerous.

I am honestly rooting for the guy but he is so frustrating to watch.
