Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 3177850, member: 1522"] Our players who have made it lived in the gym, I think we all know Jalen hasn't lived in the gym. He is very talented and those same talents were on display in high school but it's also why other players caught up to him and even passed him. The going right every time and contorting your body to avoid contact while making amazing finishes near the rim is great in high school but as you jump up to the other levels it just doesn't cut it. He's not a great enough athlete or great enough at any one thing were these flaws won't drag him down, IMO. I suppose if the light all of a sudden switches and he spends every waking hour in the gym fixing his weaknesses he could get a long career in the NBA but it usually doesn't work like that. [/QUOTE]
