I'm kinda surprised he's been such a mediocre pro: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...-buying-2012-no-2-pick-michael-kidd-gilchrist

His injuries have derailed his ability to grow and develop.
Loved MKG here. Always thought he was picked way too high. At 6’6”, you have to be able to shoot the ball. Hope he latches on at his next spot.
Great news for MKG! I’ve hated this fit for him since day one. Nothing at all against Charlotte, but it’s just not right for MKG. Hopefully with this fresh start he can get comfortable and have a great rest of his career. He’s definitely got heart and I just hope some place will appreciate him and use him the right way.
Cant really blame injuries. He is such poor offensive player that you cant put him on the floor.

A big part of why he hasn’t rounded out his offensive game and skills is because he’s dealt with constant injuries for the majority of his career.
Good at everything but scoring. Unfortunately, that’s the name of the game in the NBA.
Ehhhhhh. Kind of. But hes had these issues since the start of his pro career. Hes tried tk revamp his shot and thymats just so difficult.
Hed have been a great player back in the 80s and 90s.. but this is a different era.
Well, at least he made it in the league and as a starter for awhile unlike #1 pick Anthony Bennett.
"Mediocre" is a kind way of describing it, considering that he'd fallen all the way to 12th man status. Hate to say it, but the word "bust" fits his career pretty well.
But, who knows, maybe a new team will breathe some new life in his career. I kinda doubt it, though.
He measured at 6’7.5 at the NBA Combine 233 lbs. shooting is his Kryptonite tho for sure.
He was actually completely fine...
then they started working on his shot...and that became a joke and he completely lost it afterwards.

He still could potentially play good defense . He’s a great lockerroom guy it seems . He could be a solid role player on another team hopefully .
That's stupid mkg was the 2nd best player on that team. Without mkg no championship.
I agree but I don’t get why that would make the Hornets stupid for waiving him .
it’s stupid because how the hell you waive the second best player on a 2012 title team from Kentucky?
Everyone Chatlotte drafts is a mediocre pro. They're the common denominator.
PJ and Devonte Graham have been solid picks from the last two years actually. If we could get rid of Batum and Zeller and get some real star power we would be a playoff team easy.
Exactly. Whoever they hired to tinker with his shot should never be allowed near another player.
If that’s your team not sure why you’d be excited about MKG at this point in his career.
It's really none of your concern. You really think they are building around him then you know nothing about Dallas. He's just depth at the end of the bench. Yes I'm happy if he's the last guy on the bench, it's a UK Champion. Try again
Suns are great at their picks...they have waived or traded more top ten picks (the last few seasons)...teams can get out of their own stupid way of drafting on potential
