Dang, he's turned out worse than Greg Oden!

I mean sure he also had 4 blocks on that time span but you need to be able to stay on the floor in order for you to produce and managing to stay on the floor for only 12 minutes just ain't gonna cut it.

yeah, kinda saw this coming already from preseason and summerleague games. Hes going to fail his career imo. Cant score and cant stay on the floor. Just not a good nba player. I sure do hope he turns this arround but i doubt it. Never heard of himin college when i first saw him iwas exicted guess i was wrong.

Why? Maybe that's what they needed out of him, a big body to foul Nene and make him earn his points. I didn't watch the game but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have played him much more than 12 minutes anyway, seeing how Gasol was performing. And no matter how you look at it, those 4 blocks are impressive...

The game is too fast for him, hopefully he will adjust but it will take time since he is so big. But i fear he will never be the player that people thought he would become, he was nasty in college because he could just camp the lane and wait for someone to come by, can't do that in the NBA.

You're looking at the good side way too much.. 4 blocks in 12 minutes is impressive on paper but the 6 fouls show that he literally trying to block everything.

But just like you can't hand Brandon Jennings the ROY after two games, you can't say Hasheem is a bust so soon. We all knew he was a major project when he got to the NBA.. but he's got the physical tools and he's a pretty good learner as shown in his college career.

Oh well.. gotta love the start of the season where everybody jumps to conclusions way too soon. One thing can already be said for sure though, the Knicks will suck.. (congrats Jazz fans with the 2010 1st pick).

If you're talking about me I ain't jumping to any conclusions nor did I say he was gonna be a bust because he fouled out in one game. Big deal! I'm just pointing out the fact that he stayed on the floor for less than 12 minutes. Nothing more, nothing less.
