PETRO!!!

PrintBut here's my message to all the people who think that Johan Petro should get rotation minutes:
Petro just isn't a good basketball player. He is 7 feet tall, but doesn't really have much going for him. His hands are terrible, he's too skinny, he bricks 5-footers as well as Drazen Petrovic made three-pointers, and, well, he can't catch a damn pass to save his life.
Also, his big man teammates during his stretch in Seattle/OKC ranged from below average to "holy crap, how is that dude in the NBA?" His big-man partners were Nick Collison, Robert Swift, Chris Wilcox, and Vitaly Potapenko (you know, the guy selected one spot ahead of Bean Bryant). Also, during that time, Petro shot around 45% from the field, 66% from the line, and had a turnover rate of 14%, which is even worse than Hassan Adams' rate (don't know him? There's a good reason why...he sucks).
I'll leave you with a few pictures:

Damn that's harsh!
Oh well, what can I say but you are absolutely right. My only beef is that you could have come up with better captions for that first pic. That’s why we call him the French Tickler!
I can believe Petro made it to the NBA
But how the hell did the guy in the bottom picture make it? Dude looks more like he’s enjoying Death Row than playing in the NBA.
wait a sec
He has enough ink that he should really be on the Nuggets!

He'd be like a trashy, less talented Birdman

He IS a trashy, much less talented Birdman
He even has the drug problems to boot!

Isn't that Robert Swift?
I think he’s leaving basketball by choice and is still pretty young. Just didn’t pan out for the guy.

He entered the NBA looking like a farm boy
Left it looking like a meth dealer.

and if Petro sucks so bad, how did i score 8 points with him in limited minutes on NBA 2k10 just the other day?
I once scored 21 points with Greg Ostertag on like NBA 2k6 or something. However, I had him running the point, and I think he used 15-20 shots to get there.
I got that game for like my 9th birthday present or something, but I didn’t every play it until recently. It’s fun to compare the graphics in there to the ones in 2k10.
