We’ve seen guys like IT and Jalen Brunson have break out years, and reach new heights, by going to a new situation that was a much better fit. Is there anyone else in NBA history you think could have similarly had this level of elevation had they moved to a more favourable situation?
I’m biased, but Darius Miles should have been an All-Star. He was on the Juco team known as the Clippers to start his career, then played for the dumpster fire Cavaliers and jailblazers. Then he hurt his knee and was out of the league too early. He was never in a stable situation, never was in an environment that would encourage him to focus on basketball, and when he finally could have had an opportunity in Memphis or somewhere he was hurt.
