[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1263456, member: 4069"] He's been in a tough spot IMO. Comes out of hs with a high ranking and all kinds of talk of him having NBA potential. Doesn't get much PT, and is behind Hill. Not sure he's shown much versatility as a 4 or 2, but those are also strong positions for us with Black and JCL. As a point forward, he could be bringing up the ball like Hill occasionally does, but even with us struggling there, he didn't seem to get Groce's trust. Now Kipper comes in, and has exactly what we need in terms of heart, toughness, and defense, and DJW is at a watershed moment....will I ever break the rotation? If it's true he doesn't show much passion for defending, I don't see how he'll pass Kipper. And if that's true, he really does need to have some time to reconcile where he's at vs where he wants to be. Some kids respond to adversity well, others struggle. [/QUOTE]
