On the streets from guys who played Summer ball/pickup with him.
Of the 40 posts, none shared the feelings some around here had for him...of interest was this one:Posted 27 June 2016 - 10:11 AMThe REF, on 27 Jun 2016 - 12:06 PM, said:
I could AVERAGE 20 PPG on the Sixer team, they have no set offense plays or designs. Are you kidding me? But ok, let's get him a pass and pat on the back. Cool.:
My thoughts exactly. Between him and Lance, this bench unit will be spectacularly awful.So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now?
"The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9"
I'm not very religious, in life...or forums.Just thought it was "humorous" compared to our thoughts on him.

First of all Wroten was cut due to his poor performance coming off surgery and they replaced him with a healthy player. They actually considered him part of their future before the season given that he was starting the previous season before his injury!!! They weren't thinking about cutting Wroten before his ACL, so I have no idea what you're suggesting about him being cut says something other than they weren't willing to wait on him to fully heal.
No one here was saying Wroten was a lock to start. This is the BS that always happens when someone says something positive or hopeful about a young player we have. Some were enthusiastic to see him in SL, but people need to stop trashing others who merely talk and speculate on prospects. Dude was in our system working on his game for a brief time and until he was released things seemed to be going fine. Whatever his personal issues are, I hope he gets them fixed.
Here's the thing no matter who we talk about there has to be some perspective. Every player has their own expectation level based on their talent and skill. ie KP has greater expectations than Kuz. If we talk positively about Kuz we're not saying he's suddenly expected to be a franchise level talent. Wroten was a flawed young player so there was a given expectation for what he could do given where he was starting from. If some are talking hopefully and positively about a player, that doesn't mean we're saying he's destined to be an ALL STAR!!! Being positive doesn't mean we were suggesting that prospect is gonna put up 20/8. The guys who piss on any player we go after simply LOVE to exaggerate the negative and any comments others make to make it seem like we're suggesting that player is gonna play at some unrealistic level. It's annoying BS that needs to stop.
