MKG always played big. You can see it with what little offensive repertoire he has (offensive rebounding, short mid baby hooks, close range jumpers). He should've always been an undersized 4 but Charlotte drafted PFs three drafts in a row. The jumper was always going to be a work in progress and everyone knew it at the time. Charlotte really just drafted him because he was a workhorse and they thought he could start a culture shift, not looking into what his personality coming out of college was (and because they thought they were getting AD after probably the worst season in NBA history). Oh and Mark Price kind of left him for dead midway through promising to fix his jumper so take that how you will. There was improvement in the area right before Price left and then he got hurt. He reverted to the janky inward elbow again after coming back. Clifford is probably the only coach who ever believed in his strengths, letting him crash the glass with reckless abandon and letting him post up a bit when opposing teams hide small guards on him. The moment Clifford left, Borrego just put him in the doghouse, never used him and then he got waived.

I feel like MKG growth wasn’t stunted. He became exactly who is was probably always going to be. He has some special physical gifts, but also had some very big weak points. In the long run, MKG had a fairly long 8 year NBA career and made starter money for most of that. That’s the best case scenario for his level of talent. He got picked high because some teams have the hubris to think they can fix any flaw, which isn’t true. Really, the only stunted growth in this story is that of the Charlotte basketball team due to management.

I'm a UNC fan, and I remember there was a St. Patricks game from 2009 on demand, and I was at my mom's house, and Dexter Strickland, who was a UNC commit was in that game, and I wanted to see him, so I turned it on. MKG was in tenth grade then, and I had no clue who he was, and after a while, I stopped watching Dexter, (who was not all that impressive) and just focused on him, because I just couldn't believe how hard this kid played. His motor truly never stopped, and I remember after the game, I looked online and saw that he was the second ranked player in the class of 2011, and I thought "Ah, this makes sense now." I always LOVED his motor...not necessarily his overall game because of that awful hitch in his shot, but I always believed that he'd at least be a good NBA player for the simple fact that he played so unbelievably hard all the time. While that motor always burned hot, and still does, that offensive game never developed, and he never could get that shot together, which really lead to his downfall in the league. But, shoutout to him for getting as far as he did with a pretty limited skill set.

Here as a hornets fan it’s a lot of things in his game that was useful I think for one ppl don’t understand the fit in Charlotte wasn’t good the only shooting threat on the floor was kemba and even then he was a good cutter .That’s just offensively defensively I saw no issues he hustled , could rebound and go at times , had a decent handle , and was bouncy . The fit simply wasn’t good for Charlotte but put him somewhere like a Miami he’s revered . As well as besides the big names in the draft we know now are house hold stars it was worry about two small guard lineups and it wasn’t clear brad and dame would be who they were .

He didn’t have any type of offense skill so everytime he’s was on the court it was a 5v4 & only was just athletic that’s about it tbh

Having no jumper just closed off all his options on offense. Even though we get on Ben, he’s 6’10 and can easily just be a big man. MKG being only 6’7...he just didn’t belong

We got to shine more light on the teams and culture that these kids are being drafted to. The draft is unfair at times giving the worse teams the best odds. Clearly there culture isnt good for development most times. They tend to get these high draft picks and turn these players in to bust. Then by the time their traded they already have developed bad habits.

My man you hit the nail on the head i played on a real good c.y.o an high school team back in the day in Brooklyn an I had 7 of my teammates go off to mid major an some to D2 an me I went to a juco in Arizona...but our best player was considered the jem but he was not that good he just always found a at to slide by with a good pass or a key jumper at the moments coaches or scouts where in attendance...I am not a hatter cause I was along for the ride but once he got to D1 an noticed this dude is not the same as when he was with our team they quickly sat him an soon enough he was back home in Brooklyn just as I was....no one wants a 5"10 pg with a snakeeeeee jumper an a poor attitude...an best of all shite grades....so I guess MKG slide buy on the fact that he playd with an on superior teams 😳 so coaches did not realize he ain't who we thought he was till he cashed the check....but o'wll he got paid.....to play a game we all would play for free.....😇⛹‍♂️

I think that shoulder tear did it to him. He fixed his form and shot 40 percent from 3 for like 7 games which would've went down of course. Then he tore that shoulder and his form reverted, he could've been a respectable role player had he fixed that. He played very good D in fact when he showed that chart you see it right there. He could've been like a 12ppg scorer with some rebounding and defense
