Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2003704, member: 2844"] He has been sitting more than playing this year so why would teams be taking it to the rim next year and not this season? Nobody has taken it to the rim with him in there this year? Don't understand this logic. The guy is not accountable to himself or his team for the lack of understanding the importance of playing within the limits of the rules and staying in the game. Nor will I understand how a guy of this size has not improved his foot skills, his ability to catch a ball, the desire to rise up and grab a rebound or gain a defensive position on a 1 on 1 situation. It's not the coaching. I think it's a lack of desire on his part to improve and work on these areas - it's easier to be an occasional fly swatter. He has needed to become a tougher and stronger player and to date that has failed to happen - that requires a stronger heart and again, desire. AB is a great ambassador for the program and I wish he had decided to play basketball earlier in life. But most guys get better - he has, in my opinion, stagnated. I wish him luck in the future but I see no way he plays in the NBA - but maybe I'll be wrong [/QUOTE]
