RON MERCER Was Supposed to Be A Franchise Player For The Celtics! WHAT HAPPENED? Stunted Growth

They should’ve built with Mercer, Chauncey, Antwan, and Paul...They had a squad, I truly hate they gave up so quickly. Every last one of those players won a championship with the exception of Mercer...One of the great should’ve been’s in basketball! Dope video Mr Stunted Growth!!

[@carltonsaffold9940]

I gotta be honest JC, my own thought process is "stunted" on this one. He had the physical tools and ultimately proved to be a very serviceable player. Yes, he wasn't the best 3pt shooter, but Simmons is an All-Star and can't throw a ball into the ocean while standing on a pier. Only playing for the bag? Like you said, that's too tough to read unless it's just blatant (ie: Erick Dampier leading the league in rebounds the year before his next contract & GSW paid him $50+ million and then regressing back to his former self). Maybe (and perhaps I'm reaching here), it was something off the court/personal that affected his play and he just couldn't shake it (no social media back then). His career could've gone better, but he was no bust...If BOS kept him, he possibly could've elevated the 6th-man position for the league.

I thought he would have been like a stronger derrick Andersen the way the media hyped him up during his draft class except Derek Andersen developed a 3pt shot and was a better passer coming into the league, I think Mercer Capped off just being able to hit mid range shots and get in the lane to finish but just good enough for that$ check

Even without Mercer being able to shoot that well I think he still would've been very affective because Pierce and Walker both could shoot which would open the lane more for Mercer with the option of kicking the ball back out for a jumper or 3, I think that lineup would've kept defenses honest and made them think to much .

[@carlwallace1129]

I knew Mercer's stunted growth was coming soon. Ron Mercer was basically a rhythm player with the ball who's jumper was more of a threat around midrange but had that left to right head and shoulders crossover in his arsenal in his Boston and denver days which was his only go to move in the halfcourt that would shock some defenders that didnt know his scouting report .Otherwise he seemed more comfortable in the opencourt going to his pattenant spin move on defenders to the hoop IF he couldn't catch a dunk. I thought he would have had a more productive career but maybe injuries to being traded to being a reserve or him getting his shot at the rim (Gobbled!!)double 2handed blocked by the wizard's 40yr old Micheal Jordan that made ESPN got him in a deeper funk or depression IDK

[@bjnt922]

I've been waiting for this one.. Ever had that player you watched in high school or college that you thought for sure was going to be a superstar when he got to the league and you were flat out wrong about? Well for me it was Ron Mercer. I got caught up his athleticism as many people probably did at the time and I just assumed that he would put in the work to be able consistently hit from NBA 3 point range. There's no way this guy can fail. Man was I wrong! 😄

[@notatechguy1209]

Ron Mercer only played 80 games once in his career and only played 70 games twice. You can't really tell his story without time lost to injury, being on bad teams, or being on a young team that the franchise didn't allow to develop. The 2001 Bulls team alone had Carlos Boozer, Ron Artest, Khalid El-Amin, Jamal Crawford, Elton Brand, Brad Miller, and Marcus Fizer. Brand, Boozer, Artest, Crawford, and Miller all went on to have some level of success. Mercer could have easily been a second option on an elite team if given the chance. Mercer had solid numbers for the time. Jordan and Pippen only shot about 32% from 3 to Mercer's 25% and Jordan took less than 2 per game for his career, it was just a different time. In his prime Mercer only got about 15 to 18 shots per game and put up solid scoring numbers for someone with that few shots. Remember coaches decide how many shots you get to put up per game if you were not a big man in that era and could rebound and create second-chance points. Mercer could have easily been what Ron Artest was for the Lakers during Kobe's era and Mercer put up better numbers than Artest when they played together. Just look at those 2001 Bulls numbers. Mercer was a solid player that never got the chance on a team that was the right fit. The drop-off was after injuries took some of his athleticism and coaches lost faith in him. Granted, he never worked on his range, but how many coaches told him to.

[@DallasOutkast]

[@amancalledhawk5575]

i never thought he was going to be a great because in the ncaa finals where they lost the announcers were saying that he looked tired after playing 2 games in 3 days I thought to myself then being around 20-21 that he didn't have it in him because what was he gonna do in the league on back to back nights anyway another great video keep up the good work

Ron was most definitely a solid pro, but honestly I don't think he was quite as good as advertised. In my eyes Anthony Epps, Wayne Turner (possible future episodes?!?) and Derek Anderson (fav episode) all had a greater upside for league potential than him, but he had the body/look that got him over. Good work as always JC aka Tha Stunt'na!

Good one . But what about Walter McCarty

[@MarquisdeSuave]

Mercer was one of those guys who wasnt terrible but merely.....average. On a bad team he could probably average 15ppg but he was the kind of player who even bad teams wanted an upgrade over. Also his secondary numbers were lackluster. He didnt rebound, he didnt get many assists. Didnt get many steals or blocks. So you had a player who was better than average at putting the ball in the basket but wasnt really dynamic. He'd get you 17 points but it would take him 16 shots to get there. IMHO Mercer was the type of player who could have had a Ron Harper like career had he played in the 70's or 80's. A sometime All-Star who could get you 18-22ppg through his prime.

[@ericbeck6390]

He didn't shoot 3's, but he also didn't get to the line well (compare him to Stackhouse, Mobley, Francis - other 2nd tier scorers of the time) nor did he get assists. Getting points inefficiently doesn't do that much for offense, as we all know. I guess it's consistent with what you said about his not creating well. How was he even getting points? Just jacking it every touch??

I'm sure people won't agree with this but some people say things like " he's only in it for the money ", but everybody always says " it's a business " when a player gets traded or something like that happens, so in my opinion if a player is just in it for the money he's treated the game and the league just like that ( a business ) and in the NBA or pro sports period the better you do and / or the team does it's likely the more money you make or more opportunities to make money . I know most players are too competitive to not care or take the emotions out of the game and just play, but to a point I don't really see anything wrong with a player treating the game or the league like a business and " being in it for the money ", now with that being said they also have to accept what comes along with that and it could mean they don't really have that long of a career . Just my opinion

He had a good career he was never expected to be a huge star. Twos who can’t shoot never last long but his other qualities kept him around long enough.
