He impressed me when he cried his eyes out after losing the u/18 Grand Final to Newcastle and wouldn't shake our hands after the game. Also impressed me when he played for Australia and sucker punched a Canadian after the game.
Good player - yes
Good bloke - hell no.

I think he could play in the league, that is to say, sit on a bench for an NBA team and play in junk time. History shows that we've had a lot of players wussing out from taking that method to actually getting legit playing time.

good offensive skills but is a tweener.not good enough to stop faster forwards and not strong enough to defend the bigger player in the paint.Often relies on just shooting a 12footer,if he is on he is good but if not...
just below NBA standards methinks

I agree guys prob not quite up to it.
CJ Bruton could make it I reackon, however there is just so much competition for guards over there and also I don't think he's young in basketball terms.
But good enough I think he is.

I just don't get this facination with CJ Bruton. He might have the style of game that might suit the NBA but he just isn't good enough. IMHO CJ Bruton is a very average player.
Re: Nielsen and him in the NBA
I just think he's too much in between of a position, he's 6"8/9 but has no real bulk to bang. His outside shot isnt consistant enough for him to be a shooting PF, and he's not athletic to be a guard/SF. He'll be a good international player, just would be able to make the transition to be a good NBA player IMO.

I think you're over-estimating the whole "US isnt the best at basketball anymore" thing.
You PLEASE tell me how a league with ben wallace, bruce bowen and ron artest could be considered lacking in defensive intensity.
You are kidding right??????sirhanley said:
CJ Bruton wouldn't even get an invite to training camp. He is NOT that good. I think he is one of the most over-hyped, average player all around. I just don't see what people find so good about him.
A very average player.

The three players and are mention are all sound, unfortunatly for your arguement there are another 500+ players in the league.
Get yourself some tapes of the European elite teams and you will see defensive intensity.
