Hickson is stuck behind Cousins in Sacramento this year. Not exactly having a banner year.

3/20/2012 10:08:57 AM

Horner's gonna get another chance with the Nets

http://www.ridiculousupside.com/2012/3/29/2910169/new-jersey-nets-injuries-dennis-horner

how is horner getting these chances, but not tracy?

No clue. Just wish Tracy had at least a year or two under Gottfried, would've been a monster.

3/29/2012 11:17:06 AM

Because Tracy is an undersized, below average athletic center. You guys really don't know a lot about basketball (especially NBA).

Horner at least has the perimeter skills (along with the size) to play the PF spot in the NBA. I mean...he's always going to be on the bench, because he has the skills and size to be an NBA bench player.

3/29/2012 11:27:14 AM

jbrick always proving that he knows a lot about basketball.

but you didn't tell me anything i didn't know. i still don't understand how horner is able to make an nba bench and tracy isn't.

3/29/2012 11:32:27 AM

Horner can make a jump shot.

3/29/2012 11:48:08 AM

horner can make a jump shot

3/29/2012 11:49:43 AM

true. and not to be mean, but horner was never good in his 4 years in college. that's what i don't understand.

3/29/2012 12:09:44 PM

Tracy smith also was a not so good defender (to put it mildly). You gotta play defense to play in the NBA.

3/29/2012 12:13:50 PM

true. i shouldn't have mentioned tracy. i just don't understand how horner is getting a chance in the nba. that was my point. but good for him. well done dennis!

Horner was not that bad. He wasn't a great shooter, but he's a pretty good shooter for his size and position (PF). There aren't too many Dirk Nowitski's out there. So if you have a PF that can go out there and knock down and open jumpshot, that's pretty big. Horner is also a decent ball handler....for a Power Forward.

He's not going to wow you with his post moves or be able to defend Carlos Boozer on for 40 minutes...but he's a solid guy to come in and give you 5-10 minutes a game...if that. Other than that, he's a solid practice player.

Once you get past the first 8 guys on the lineup, you're just trying to fill positions in the NBA. You want a guy that can come in and get a couple rebounds, get some garbage buckets, play a little D, and hit the open jumpshot. Horner can do all of those. That's why he's in the NBA right now.

hey guys, once in a lifetime opportunity here!

if that didnt start at $200 i would bid on it.

3/30/2012 12:03:42 AM

To me Dennis Horner, Scoot, and Courtney Fells always just screamed wasted talent.

3/30/2012 9:28:18 AM

I agree about Fells

3/30/2012 9:38:18 AM

^^Don't you ever mention D Horn in a negative manner. I miss his Flaming basketball tattoo

3/30/2012 9:49:27 AM

^
I...didn't...

3/30/2012 9:53:13 AM

Has he altered his tattoo, since he's not #31 anymore?

3/30/2012 10:08:20 AM

sick

3/31/2012 8:30:30 AM

Hickson went for 29 and 13 last night against the Clippers. All he needs is a team that will give him minutes

3/31/2012 9:06:53 AM

He was cut from the Kings recently ... way to say fuck you Kings. He was taking it to the rim at will last night. When they backed off, he was draining jump shots. Incredible night.

Would have been an awesome pickup for the Bobcats. Oh well

3/31/2012 9:43:48 AM

this one too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTz925u34Oo

the clippers couldn't stop that pick and roll all night. his only mistake all night was missing 2 critical free throws in the final minute.

[Edited on March 31, 2012 at 12:34 PM. Reason : hooooo]

3/31/2012 12:33:47 PM

he also had a nice alley-oop dunk

3/31/2012 12:36:27 PM

^^^lol at #3 for the blazers in that video

Hicksons offensive has improved ma lot since nc state. He domiated lastnight.

Hickson had 23 pts, 8 rbs last the night night before last.

In the last 10 games, he's averaging 15 pts, 8rbs

4/13/2012 11:05:40 AM

on a team w/ a significantly better record, to boot. must be loving life.

4/13/2012 12:13:40 PM

^ Ouch.

good thing he got out of Sacramento. I was worried about him, but it just appears that the Kings were letting their money guy play (Cousins).

4/27/2012 12:21:37 PM

he's averaging 15 ppg with portland...impressive.

4/27/2012 12:28:27 PM

He averaged 19 points, 9.8 rebounds in his last 5 games.

I wish Hickson was still with the Cavs.

5/4/2013 1:17:14 PM

Hickson had a good season with the Blazers
