This Fall on CBS: Everybody Loves Keith Van Horn

by user I am a cpcp

"The 6-foot-10 Austin Croshere, who averaged 8.2 points and 5.3 rebounds last season, has just one year remaining on his contract at $7 million. He helps the Dallas Mavericks hedge their bets on Keith Van Horn, who is a free agent and appears to be drawing interest around the league."

WHY IS KEITH VAN HORN DRAWING INTEREST AROUND THE LEAGUE?!?!?!!?

He sucks! He's always sucked! He will always suck!

Why do teams keep thinking that he's going to turn his career around and suddenly start contributing to a team? Van Horn was AWFUL for the Mavs in the Finals. Why would they even think about keeping him?

Why do other teams want him!?

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Can anyone please PLEASE explain the Keith Van Horn phenomenon?!

Somebody has to be the token non-European white guy on the team.

If you wouldn't have put "not Matty," it wouldn't have ever crossed my mind. :-)

In his defense, he did come off the bench to hit a few spot up 3's for Dallas this playoffs. So if you need a 6'10 3 point specialist who can give you 8 mins a game hes the best one out there.

I remember one time when he saved the Nets from a Boston Celtics comeback like 4 years ago. He made a three which sealed the deal. He never really got much praise for it though, and he shouldn't because HE SUCKS AND IS INCONSISTENT. Unfortunately, the NBA has another KVH in line in Kyle Korver

So is Conan O'Brien. But he's found a way to positively add to society.

Like I wrote in Van Horn's scouting report, most of Van Horn's comparable players were out of the league by age 32. Van Horn will be 31 next season. But I guess the interested teams don't know that, or don't care.

Van Horn will have a long career if he continues to play 5 minutes a game
