What's up with the dislike for him?I just remember him as a young guy who played hard and put up good numbers with the C's. Of course that was almost 20 years ago, pre-internet boom, so maybe I'm just remembering wrong or missed the anti-Mercer talk.I don't know if it was much anti-Mercer talk at the time. Although he was, more or less, the player representation of a scapegoat for the Pitino era. Kentucky kid who Pitino had downplayed pre-draft then grabbed with the 6th pick in that infamous '97 draft. From day one, there was a lot of pressure heaped on that kid, probably some unwarranted, after the ping pong ball frustrations and Pitino's proclamation about the backcourt for the next decade thing. People expected him to be a star and he underwhelmed on that end, although he did put up some decent numbers for the Celtics. Once Pierce came along and starting tearing things up, he became pretty expendable. You could see the higher ceiling with PP.

Mark Blount.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.
Sorry, but I wasn't around when these guys played for us I think. I keep seeing Mark Blount and Todd Day. Who were they and why do we hate them so much, even more than Evan Turner, David Lee, and Jermaine O'Neal?
