I still remember Paterno talking about his potential after drafting him. He said that he was a SG in college and that we needed to be patient with him as it would take time for him to develop PG skills. Then he traded him away midseason his rookie year. I hate Paterno.

Whether that makes him better or worse than Celtics anti-legend Rick Pitino is up to you.
With all the crappy news around the world of sports, I thought this deserved a mention. Despite the disappointment of losing the Duncan lottery, we got either the 2nd or 3rd best pick, depending on how you feel about T-Mac's peak vs his longevity and playoff success. In a Pitinoless alternate reality, we might've gotten to see him realize that potential in green alongside Pierce, instead of making a series of other teammates look better instead.Best wishes and happy retirement to one of the all time Really Good but Probably Not HOF-Worthy guys - Chauncey Billups.http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11497483/chauncey-billups-says-retiring-17-nba-seasons
