From what I gather he is a perfectly fine teammate and is friendly and respectful- he just comes across as a kid who has had the joy for basketball just stripped out of the game for him.
From what I gather he is a perfectly fine teammate and is friendly and respectful- he just comes across as a kid who has had the joy for basketball just stripped out of the game for him. I see it in high end junior golf all the time these days - kids getting big offers but just have zero joy for the sport due to an overly critical parent or something.
I don’t care if he’s a one and done - a lot of those kids still love the sport and play with a lot of passion…. Some don’t… I mean JJ Smith loves football so does Caleb Downs and neither stayed in college longer than what was required - so I’m not on the kid for being in and out - it’s the world these days I don’t watch a ton of college basketball but I started paying attention to him when the stories started to come out about his minutes. I assumed he was just not a good teammate but as I’ve watched and read some about him - I think he's a perfecly fine teammate - seems more like a kid who never liked the sport as much as the skills he possessed made him valuable to others. getting burned on the last play last night also just seemed like a kid who just unintentionally goes through the motions because he’s just not hungry about basketball. maybe people who know him or basketball better than I do can shed some light I don’t know but he just doesn’t seem like a happy kid on the court.This is a forum post from a site member.
