Gets a 1 from me.

Besides skipping out on summer league, everyone has to remember his tweet during the middle of last year questioning how he’d probably blossom like Frye, Brown or Wallace in another system. The fact that he was given every chance while other youngsters did perform well last season (Dimes, Buckets) makes me feel most of it was on him. Therefore, obviously he not only didn’t fit his role but also put down the gauntlet he’d rather be elsewhere.

I couldn’t see anyone could objectively see him earning a half-way decent score , which would indicate progress…if anything , he has regressed. Like JaMarcus Russell , I guess some people are easily satisfied being terrible at what they do as long as they are paid for it.

That’s what he deserves. Julian Wright has been given every chance to succeed in New Orleans and simply hasn’t delivered on the promise he showed his rookie season. The Hornets essentially gave him a starting job (he didn’t earn it during game time in 2009; Lord knows we all saw him flop then) and he still couldn’t deliver. When Bower took over and Juju’s playing time still didn’t increase, I knew something was up.

He’s had chances, he’s got the talent, he’s been awful.

To be honest

I don’t really care what happens to him. Really loved the guy, but he thinks he’s “made it.” Looking at his twitter feed you certaintly get that feeling. He hasn’t done squat and yet acts like he’s an integral part of the team. Wait till Q shows up and takes all of his minutes while he rides the pine.
