    Not at all. Just adding to the topics we can all discuss while waiting for the Griz game.

    I loved the atomic dog, but Vic has more skill. What do you think?

    I think you're right MM. Earl Watson was a decent end of the bench guy but Victor has really good basketball IQ.

    I think now after seeing him play, Allan Crabbe may have been that guy but we just didn't get to see it. He was bottom of the bench all last season

    So do we mean end of the bench active or 15th man that is inactive?

    My first thought was the 99-00 or 00-01 teams but it looks like Gary Grant played the least minutes along with the previously mentioned Barkley. But you are talking about 12th man that was active you are talking about Detlef, Rod Strickland or Antonio Harvery.

    06-07 Raef or Fred Jones

    07-08 Raef, Von Wafer, Josh McRoberts

    08-09 Bayless, Diogu, Shavlik Randolph

    09-10 Patty, Dante, Pendergraph

    10-11 Chris Johnson, Luke Babbit

    11-12 Jonny Flynn, Elliott Williams, Hasheem Thabeet

    12-13 Freeland, Jefferies, Nolan

    13-14 Claver, Watson, Crabbe

    Fun thread for memory/nightmare lane. Rep'd

    Good question. I think Claver could definitely be the best 15th man in the league, if not league history

    What a disgusting list... San Antonio raids the end of our bench like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, then turns those players into... PLAYERS!

    I hope to God we can keep Crabbe, to keep Pop from taking him!

    I disagree. Fred Jones didn't stick in the league and was pretty much a bust. Of the 3 Ducks who were drafted, only Ridnour turned out to have an NBA game. Fred just won a slam dunk contest and it was propably the worst slam dunk contest ever.
