and I'll say it again; there's no way this kid is contributing significant minutes in the nba ever. He doesn't have the brain for this.
the reporter said it looked slimmer compared to what he looked like during the season. So if that's the case, I bet he was pushing 330.
Is that some team like the Spurs or Lakers or Heat that have no expecations of him making the roster take a chance on the dormant talent within and see if they think surrounding him with some hard working professionals will get him in line.
but i think he has about a 1% shot of ever playing a minute in the NBA

I think he'll play to his level of competition. He does struggle to get and stay in condition, which I think may be a medical issue. Even if it is, I think he'll find a role on a team. It will always be a tragedy for our team that he had a negative impact. It was a season when everything we tried turned to ****. Some days are like that for me, but I'd hate it to be a whole year or more.
First and foremost I want to say I'm not defending Renardo because he's a POS, but I'm throwing this out there because I think some of you are wrong. Big Baby has been a role player everywhere he's been and he was a big ole fatty in college with great ball skills. He was drafted late and he got down to about 290lbs (6'9"). To say you're sure Renardo will NEVER play in the NBA is a little ridiculous. If he does a lot of growing up in the next 6 months he could very well be a bench player, but that falls entirely on his maturity level. He has the skills and athletic ABILITY to beat guys like Dampier who are still on rosters out for a spot.
i spit beer up all over my shirt picturing that fat piece of **** falling asleep mid sentence with someone
And those differences are why Davis was able to declare early, get drafted,and contribute immediately even as a rookie. Its why hewas able to continue to get more minutes each season in Boston.esplanade91 said:
Davis has a TON of limitations, yet he continues to be valued and get playing time. Its because he has what Sidney doesnt- effort and attitude.
that he has the physical talent to be there, but he lacks the mental capacity. He's had chance after chance after chance to display the ability to succeed, and has failed each time. I'm not saying there aren't any headcases in the NBA, but I do not remember any of them that seem to just not care. He just does not seem to care, whatsoever, about being in the NBA. It's as if he's just doing it because someone is making him. The only "medical" issues he seems to display is not giving a ****.

I think Davis vs. Renardo is a perfect example. Big Baby IS Renardo if he lost weight and showed maturity and drive. They both declared early, both were overweight in college, and citing the original post both lost a vast amount of weight leading up to the draft. Renardo has NBA talent and anyone who argues that is exhibiting blind hatred. At this point, with his attitude, I don't know that I'd start him on my high school team if I were a coach. Moving to LA for high school bball makes complete sense now, it's probably the only place he could find a seedy coach who would allow him to act like that and star. But as I stated before, if (and I can bet he won't, but just for the sake of argument) he grows up in the next couple of months and wakes up and decides he wants to live up to his talent he could be a rock solid contributor much like Glen Davis.
His ceiling is being a guy that teams can bring off the bench and run some offense through him or have him as a third banana type player that makes good passes and open shots and tries not to be too much of an liability on Defense. He certainly has the skills to score in the NBA, and there would be some
PF's that get minutes that would have trouble keeping up with him, but I
think a lot of power forwards would be athletic enough that he would
not be quick or strong enough to really score on them effectively, even
if he got into shape.
I don't think teams provide the type of support structure he will need for that kind of talent.

And comparing me to Kobe Bryant is a perfect example. I am him if I grew an inch, lost 20 pounds, developed incredible footwork, and was more athletic.esplanade91 said:

Unlike you, the RSS has all the potential in the world to be an NBA player.
I bet if he would have played for Coach ray and stayed on the team he would be a 1st rounder this year.
The RSS has a better jump shot, and passing skills than Davis ever had or will. He just needs to get in shape and have the desire to play basketball.
I would not be surprised if he is a late 2nd round pick.

completely disagree with this. I know Rick was the worst college coach ever, but nobody wasor is going to changeRenardo. His problemsstartand end with himself. He just doesn't care about basketball. If he had been here under Ray, he would have been gone after a year.[b said:

He would have never had signed under Ray, and if Coach Ray would have come while the RSS was here I agree that he would have left the team.

SEC player of the year in 2006 and took LSU to a Final Four. He's one of LSU's greatest players ever and he's been a very good NBA role player. You are doing Davis a great injustice by comparing Sidney to him. Sidney won't last in the NBA because he can't run up and down the floor and he's atrocious on defense. He'll get a look but that's all he'll get.
hate for Stansbury is blinding you. Sidney's problem is Sidney. Not Stansbury. Not Ray. Not Mama. Not Daddy, but Renardo. They guy has no heart or desire to play basketball at a high level. He MAY have the desire to make money, but not the ability to do what it takes. I have no doubt the guy has the physical capabilities to be a first round pick. He exhibited those with Stansbury as his coach, and would have with Ray as his coach. I think you are not understanding my point. It is that he would not have lasted under Ray.
The RSS would have left the before the first practice was over under Coach Ray. This has nothing to do with our "old coach" or new one.KurtRambis4 said:
What I was saying was that if the RSS had played under a coach who stressed conditioning and being a team player, that he "could" have matured and become an NBA player. Ultimately it all comes back the Sidney wanting to play basketball.
The potentialto do or be something is worth nothing at all without the desire and structure to do or be it. Worth nothing at all.And when that desire and structure arent present, potential really just means waste.fishwater99 said:
Comparing Davis to Sidney is absolutely stupid. Theyboth have big bodies. That really is the only thing they have in common.

Davisshowed more ability in college.
Davis is a better team player.
Daviscould be a total moron, but he is more complete between the ears.
Davis was an as highly ratedprep player, while a much better college player.
Davis is abetter defender.(a matador is a better defender than Sidney)
Davis showed a better desire and ability to lose weight.
Seriously, the only thing these guys have in common is they are/were both big.
You say Sidney just needs to get in shape and have the deisre to play basketball as if thats something he can buy at the local Target.If ever there was an understatement, its this- He just needs to get in shape and have the desire to play basketball.
Oh, is thatall he needs to do?Even though he spent3 years of collegehilariously out of shape, while having resources to change that at his fingertips and chose not to, he will now get in shape. And what i love is that you say he just needs to have the desire to play basketball!!! HA HA HA, thats the very Fing thing we are talking about here! All he needs to do is have a desirefor the very thing he has spent his life doing and is choosing to persue for a career?!?! My gosh, if he doesnt have that desire by now, he never will.
All he needs to do is get in shape and have the desire to play the damn sporthe participates in?...ha ha ha ha,that needs to be archived.
