The real problem was the NBA strike, forcing Justin to Europe.
Look, Justin is one of my favorite players of all time. In fact, one of the reasons that I like my daughter's name so much (Harper) is because it is the same as his last name. But let's face it, he was not consistently good enough to play in the NBA. Not sure how playing in Europe for part of a year affects that. If he were good enough he would be starring in summer leagues, or dominating the D League. He was able to parlay a tremendous senior year where he hit a lot of open jumpers due to KA's penetration into being drafted and playing 14 games in the NBA. I think that's great, and I wish him continued success. But let's not say that the reason he never stuck was because of the strike or Dwight Howard.
 
The reason he's not playing is that he's just not good enough. If freaking Paul Pearce can still make millions at his age and Justin can't even make a team should tell you something. Personally I would take Harper but that's why I'm not an NBA GM.
