sorry if posted already. Overcome some very tough events. Donté Greene feels right at home in The Basketball Tournament

Too bad he was the worst player on the team.
Yeah, he really struggled out there. Too bad.
I'm sure Donte is a very nice guy, and he has a BIG personality, but they would have been better served starting Fair and Southerland, and having Donte come off the bench. Donte forced way too many shots, when he should have just stuck to basics and played closer to the hoop.
BTW, Rick Jackson was in terrible shape and also did not play well. They could have really used Baye Keita to play with Riley at center. Triche was terrific, and of course Devo was amazing. Like he was at SU, I thought Gillen tried to play a little too fast. Next year, I would leave out Donte if he can't accept a minor role and try to get somebody like Lydon and Gbinije to join in.

Agree with the rest of your post but the Nuggets won't let Lydon play in something like this. They would be crazy to risk anything.
Lydon might wind up in the D League or getting waived. We'll see.
Onauku, Christmas, Paul Harris, Jonny Flynn, KJ, Gbinije, Rautins, Scoop...Dontae is horrible, always has been overrated and has low basketball IQ. Jackson has hands of stone same flaws he had in college. Need better centers and a PG...
Thought Devo, James, Triche, Fair, Cooney, Gillon were all decent.
He's signed to a standard rookie contract with 2 years guaranteed with options on 2 more years. Might play in the D League but he would still be property of the Nuggets. Unless he does something horrible off the court, he won't get waived after one year. Let me put it like this - I will save this thread link in my favorites. If Tyler Lydon is anywhere near a TBT team next year, I will come back and eat some fantastic crow.
Yeah, can't help but agree on Greene. He's a top candidate for me for least favorite Orange.
Same. And I feel bad saying that, because he does seem like a good guy and I believe he went through some tragedies as a kid. I wish him the best. His shot selection and defense have always driven me nuts though.
Fixed itToo bad he was the worst player on the floor.
