Hall of Famer
And in my dreams, Cisco fills that bill. He isn't the man. Why isn't he the man?
Well for one thing, he never seems to be heathy for any extended period. For another, I think he's reached whatever potential he had. So he is what he is. And to be honest, thats a Matt Barnes type of player. And I'm not comparing their skill level, but their place in the league. A good player off the bench on a good team. If we were to look around the league, how many teams do you think Cisco could start for? Not many, if any! Thats not a knock on Cisco. He's a nice player, and you can't play in the NBA for an extended period of time if you're no good. Just to play in the NBA your one of the top 400 or 500 players in the country. No small feat. Its been said before that the guy sitting at the end of the bench in the NBA was probably the best player on his highschool team and is some cases the best player on his college team.
So I guess you could argue that Cisco is the best player on this team at the SG position, but that really says more about the team than it does Cisco.
