Underachievers on both sides. I like McInnins, but he is a player without a position. He can play the 1, 2, or 3, but doesn't excel at any of those spots. Maybe a little like Larry Hughes, since he was put at the point early in his career and it didn't really work out as planned.

Miles may never develop into what scouts were expecting. He is all athleticism and no bball IQ. Some day he will become a decent player, but I think that his star-potential is pretty low right now.

Ruben is little more than a big body. Ruuuuuuben.

good trade for the cavs, actually. miles is pretty much garbage right now. sure he has "potential" when it comes to his freak athletism, but he has no skills. his handles aren't too good, and his jumpers are just UGLY!! he lost his starting spot to ira newble!! on the CAVS where they have no depth.
