I remember thinking the Nuggets had a steal when they drafted him. Shame it didn’t work out, but George Karl was notorious for being hard on rookies.

[@jaimemartinez2528]

Awww man I grew up playing against Julius Hodge in the Bronx. When he played at St. Raymond's it was like an event. This guy was the man!!! He went on to have a great career at NC State playing for Herb Sendek. Thank you for making this video my brother

[@tanthom32]

Great video my man. How about keeping it in the ACC and doing Shelden Williams?!

[@AndreaBaixinho]

Hodge is the demonstration that having perfect size for your position is not always guaranteed to make you great if your skillset is not on par. Had he worked more on his shooting, he would have been a great player

[@banyarling]

You haven't watched enough of this channel. "Attitude" is always forgiven, along with criminal behavior, failure to pay child support. "Character" is Justin's get-out-of-jail-free card for awful human beings.

[@brotherLee340]

That's the truth tho. 1st round pick and couldn't even get on the floor in the league. Great college player tho

[@MoeJaxon]

True true. He had no distinct qualities. Wasn’t quick or agile He was flimsy No post game No a great shooter Not much of a defender Wasn’t muscular or strong Too skinny On the NBA level he wouldn’t lasted long even with minutes or great playing time

He was nearly killed in a drive-by shooting in Denver on April 8, 2006 while still playing with the Nuggets. Did his off-court incidents have anything to do with his tenure in the NBA?

[@obsidianguild3699]

Yeah thought that had something to do with his play too. Bcuz I remember him being hit 4 or 5 times during that situation

[@brotherLee340]

Both of them had pretty solid NBA careers tho...

[@brotherLee340]

Gerald Wallace actually over achieved. Was an all star. Got a big contract. He did good.

[@justinterry7853]

@@brotherLee340 yeah i mean i kind of see it now with Wallace, the Bobcats had the secure Small Forward in their team in Gerald Wallace but the players that we selected from 2005 to 2009, they seemed to be disappointments or just solidly average players. Besides we were an expansion team so it would be normal for us to struggle in our years, we shouldn't have traded Wallace though. And for Mashburn, i know him more in the Hornets since i found out about him in the All time Pelicans in 2k and he seemed to have a rocky road of a career

[@brotherLee340]

@@justinterry7853 yea that's true. Mashburn never reached his peak. So I get your point. He definitely could've been alot better. He played alot of years but his growth was Stunted. And I think he did one on Josh Smith...so Mashburn could get a episode too.

[@justinterry7853]

@@brotherLee340 yeah, Mashburn's stunted growth was mostly due to Injuries and almost with Chemistry between Jim Jackson and Jason Kidd and Phoni Braxton, would it be safe to say that?
