Never stood a chance with the nic name of Turd Ferguson….damn shame.

So, 11 minutes to say “the dude had tons of potential, but didn’t work on his overall game as much as his dynamic workout dunk arsenal and then let his personal life troubles cause problems with his on the court focus and development.” It’s no mystery, it’s a story we’ve seen before, but it’s sad to see.

Respectfully, I had to watch that video on 1.5x as the narrator’s voice was SO….SLOW…. at normal speed. It’s fine reading a script, but damn, put some EXCITEMENT in the tone!
Overall, why was he out the league? Us hardcore fans who lived on this sub know without watching it: he was a low 1st round pick that was a high risk/high reward…and he never put himself in a position to grow. He also had “off court” affairs. You read that, you saw the 11 mins of this.
I don’t fault the Thunder for drafting him. So many T-Fergs out there who are young, have a lot of athleticism, a lot of potential, and just need that 3-4 years to “figure it out”. Poku and Baze are both T Ferg to an extent. All lanky, all explosive before being drafted, and all just need “time”. Many teams are drafting the same folks, and some are hitting…many are missing. Eh, that’s how life goes…
