In my July 16th post highlighting the ESPN article on Rashad McCants, I wrote that McCants was playing on the Cleavland Cavaliers Summer League team and had to DNPs. But according to this article from Brian Windhorst from The Plain Dealer, McCants did not show-up to play – literally.
Former lottery pick Rashad McCants was scheduled to join the Cavs for their first summer league practice on Sunday. He did not show up and the team didn’t hear a reason for days. It is now believed McCants didn’t report for personal reasons, but it caught the team by surprise.
“I have not seen him; he never showed up,” Pressey said. “I was kind of looking forward to seeing the guy, he’s a heck of a talent.”
And while McCants might have a ton of talent, he does not seem to have a ton of intelligence.
In the ESPN article by Chris Palmer, you are made to feel that there is no good reason why McCants is not in the league. McCants is too talented, he has never been arrested, he is like by teammates and there are many players who have been arrested that are playing in the NBA. But somehow, McCants can not find a job.
In the article it also states that McCants turned down a 10-day contract and a stint in the NBDL, and now this. And you wonder why no team wants to sign him.
Why should a team care about you if you show absolutely not interest in being a part of the team?
