What do Jerome Moiso, Kedrick Brown & Gerald Green have in common?

[Timdawgg]

I am curious how long it takes someone to post?

[CelticsWhat35]

all played for the Celtics
all drafted in the 1st round

[Yakmanev]

They all have "bring back" threads in their honor?

[Timdawgg]

LOL. Those are all true but it something more obvious and it's not that they were all some of the C's biggest busts.

[Yakmanev]

They all wore jersey number 5? Kendrick Brown started with number 42 but changed his second year? Is that right?

[Donoghus]

All played or are playing in Russia?  No idea.

You got it. I was looking through all the uniform numbers and I was shocked to see the 3 biggest Celtics Busts all wore #5. Good thing KG revitalized that number.

Who said KG revitalized that number?  Until he gets his 2nd ring I am going to consider him another 1st round #5 wearing bust.

All were drafted after Shaq.

More importantly, they all looked like studs in the summer league. 

Should be something we all remember to keep perspective every year. 

[GreenEnvy]

Besides the jersey number, were they all out of the league within 5 years of being drafted?

Maybe not, but they surely weren't heard from soon after leaving Boston.

[35Lewis]

They all proved that despite being gifted with tons of physical tools, the ability to become successful in the NBA requires dedication, knowledge and understanding.

Oh yeah and they all sucked.

I wonder if there will be a "Bring Back Moiso" thread after this.

Interesting... so do the the players that actually pan out look good during summer league?  And if so what does that do the perspective?

Yes.  But what it means is that the summer league isn't a good barometer for eventual NBA success.

Actually it means both but, too each his own.
