Kwame Brown or Michael Olowokandi

which former #1 pick bust would you rather have?

neither.

Olowokandi shouldnt be in the same sentence as Brown. At least Kandi is a little bit effective periodically.

Brown..a lot better..

Kwame brown... at least he has a little more time to turn things around.

kandi man can atleast block

This is actually a pretty interesting comparison. At first I immidiatley went to click Kwame, but then I thought about it a little bit.

I'd rather have neither of them. They are both lazy basketball players who have the talent, but aren't willing to put in the work to become as good as they can. Not to mention the fact that they both have shitty attitudes.

I think I'd take Kandi, just barely. He's more effective on defense, and he scores the ball a little bit better. Plus he shoots a better field goal percentage. Both absolutely suck on the boards considering their size.

possibly one of the hardest comparisons besides t-mac vs. kobe?

ps. i would not be suprised if this gets replies worthy to make this thread a hardwood classic

Neither. I would rather have a sack of potatoes.

You aren't funny.

I'd take Kwame. Olowokandi's 30 and probably won't improve, whereas Brown still has a chance to become at least a half decent player.

If you're talking about drafting one of them during draft day and they were both avaiable, that be more of a challenge to choose.

Well I would just pick someone else on the board, but if I absolutely had to, I would pick the Kandiman.

I would pick Kwame. He has a better chance of reviving his career then the Kandi Man knowing that he is younger and could improve. He just needs to put in some effort.

Kwame should retire.

Kwame is the better player but I wouldn't want either one.

Kwame. Because Kwame is stronger. He may not be able to block you're shot but he can deny you position downlow. He's strong enough to not get pushed around by anyone in the league. He can outrebound anyone when motivated.(when will he ever be motivated though?)

Kwame, should grow some cojones, play like a man, and learn to dunk the fucking ball.

As a laker fan, i pull my hair in frustration everytime Kwame misses a wide open layup. Throw it down big man. DUNK THE FUCKEN BALL!

Olowokanid is my choice

olowokandi has at least given 2 productive years and has been a NBA starter. T'wolves only used their MLE to sign him and currently he's on the last year of that contract

brown more or less is still getting paid on his potential and 2 or 3 decent stretches. And his contract is worse then the Kandiman's.

Lakers paid him that much to make up for less years. His contract runs for only 2 years with a team option for the 3rd year. Basically, Mitch played safe, if this guy breaks out they take the 3rd year option, if he doesnt and someone is available, waive that option and a maximum FA. Either way, we have enough cap space to sign a maximum FA in 2007 or 2008.

I would choose Kwame, but barely because I don't really like either.

fact remains Kandiman has had more productive seasons

nothing is safe about spending 2yrs/~16 million on someone that's done nothing before he arrived in L.A and is really doing nothing now

what kind of player did people expect the kandiman to be? i know everyone expected kwame to be the next KG or JO.

Limp, Kwame's giving us what we lacked last season. A big body downlow that doesnt foul every 2 minutes.

With Kwame on the floor, believe it or not, our defense improves. Try watching a laker game and you'll see what im referring to.

ala tyson chandler?

Kandi has had more productive seasons with the fucken clips limp, it's sad when you're productive on a team that even mikki moore can be productive.

tyson chandler has shown flashes.
he works hard he just gets some unfortunate injuries at times, but he's shown that he's capable of being something good. i don't think his coaches have ever blasted him on his work ethic.

and we all know what some people think of kwame brown -- MJ called him a flaming faggot and dr. phil called him a pussy.

Chandler has always been good on the boards and he is long enough to deny shots.
I'd rather pick kwame though, but only if I took phil in as the head coach.

Kwame....if only because he was in Michael Jordans presence day to day,
