That is such a shame that the kid needs something like that to make him behave himself as a pro ballplayer. It's wrong, and I hope other NBA, or any major pro sport never tries this. Like Anonymous said, the Kings might as well hire his friends and family to keep him happy. This story is Sad, and Stupid at the same time.Cool Arrownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877635134344427444.post-90978325516182781972010-11-03T22:00:27.638-07:002010-11-03T22:00:27.638-07:00If you need to bring in a High School Head Basketb...If you need to bring in a High School Head Basketball Coach to be an influence on a rookie NBA player, then they should just hire his Momma, to cook his lunches, and find a job for his Girlfriend in the front office so he can be at ease some more... This is pathetic. When a grown ass man gets drafted to be a Professional, he should act like a man, and not need his High School coach to be his positive influence... That should be the responsibility of the individual to grow the heck up, and listen to his coach in the Pro's...

It's important for us all to realize these are 19-year-olds and that's how they are going to act. Coaches have to learn how to deal with these young talents and all that comes with them. Some will require more guidance and attention than others. I have a 19-year-old son, too, so I know. DeMarcus hasn't proven he won't listen... And if he needs his hand held - like some of us do at times - the bottom line is to help him maximize his skill. Ultimately, time will tell. thanks for the comment. peaceMarty Mac's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185623245648827017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877635134344427444.post-17371447008377221622010-07-31T04:26:03.679-07:002010-07-31T04:26:03.679-07:00If the Kings would have had someone to help the We...If the Kings would have had someone to help the Webber/Vlade Kings with their free throws they might have a ring to show for it but they didn't and they don't. This kid is a project so they better be ready to do what it takes to bring him along even if they have to hire his grandma. The Kings gave up on Wallace early and look what kind of player he is today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877635134344427444.post-87114403269401465032010-07-30T17:00:23.466-07:002010-07-30T17:00:23.466-07:00I can't help but think this sends up a big red...I can't help but think this sends up a big red flag regarding the kid. I understand he's only 19, but he's getting paid a lot of money. He should have to listen to whomever the kings tell him to listen to. They shouldn't have to hold his hand and bring in someone he's familiar with just so he'll pay attention.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780802098482369752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877635134344427444.post-43441997077573068982010-07-30T14:18:54.066-07:002010-07-30T14:18:54.066-07:00Lol, yes, you could be wrong.

I'll check it out though... I remember the Kings bringing in CWebb's college coach after the picked him up. Who knows what type of effect that had on him. Actually, I never asked him. But bringing in Hughley can't hurt.Marty Mac's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185623245648827017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877635134344427444.post-35642935083764685592010-07-30T05:37:01.802-07:002010-07-30T05:37:01.802-07:00Back when I was in high school I went to Bill Cart...Back when I was in high school I went to Bill Cartwright's basketball camp one summer and I seem to remember his high school basketball coach following him to both college and then the Knicks who he was playing for at that time?
