No doubt that RW fell in love with the three point shot far too often but he was a really good defensive player and effective scorer for championship teams without a real superstar. He was also a hell of a player in portland till he decided he wanted out of that situation which was one of his better ideas. No doubt that his insaneness probably detracted from his overall game but I dont know anyone (well you i guess)who thinks that he didnt have a career that you would have thought he would have had.

Going back to that 1995 draft, the only player that had a better career than Sheed was Garnett. He is a unique talent that could fill the stat sheet in every category. During his era, how many f/c would you take over him? Duncan, garnett and ? There are maybe 2-3 other guys but not any beyond that.

He had a fine career that was 15 years long and he never played fewer than 62 games other than the lockout year.
