who placed their bet at five weeks?

here. The team owner was quoted:

"He is a good player, but he needs time to get used to European basketball and Zalgiris," club owner Vladimir Romanov said on the team’s website. "But we don’t have the time. We needed Nelson to play at the top level already now."

This reminds of guys like JaRon Rush and Jerome Moiso who thought they were ready much sooner than they actually were.

Well, in Reeves case, it was a kind of ego trip that drove him to act out, whereas the other guys left early. Still, our team could have benefited if they stuck around, kept their nose to the grind stone and worried less about the accolades.

He lived all his life with a sense of entitlement, only to find out that he’s lived all his life with his head up his a$$. Now what? The NBA? Whatever the NBA minor league is called? What’s he going to do when he finds out that his future is not as a basketball player, and that he has to start over living in the real world at age 21?

I really feel sorry for him. He brought 100% of it on himself, but it looks like a wasted life. Maybe he’ll get a good job driving a truck or something.

So much talent and turmoil all in one person.

while only playing 10 minutes / game. That’ll probably do it.
