[QUOTE="Actionjackson, post: 1371353, member: 604967"] Not to mention sheer motivation. He's got to be frustrated to some degree...in spite of recently committing to basketball, being a freshman, etc. This kid was Mr. Basketball in Illinois and courted by all of the big-dogs. I don't care who you are it impacts you and you can't help but believe the hype to some extent. And then this season has kind of exposed him. Yes, you're athletic, big, strong, tough, naturally talented, etc. but it's about MORE than that. My hope is that this "setback" provides the motivation that DRIVES this kid to maximize all of his talents, improve his IQ, defense, etc. TF is unbelievable...quick, fearless, will be an epic Illini and terrific college player but the NBA??? I don't know. Smith could put in the work and be a D-Will type player in the NBA if he wants it. [/QUOTE]
