agreed . jalen rose had a fantastic physical skillset which he never utilized or used to his fullest potential because he was either just too lazy or he didnt want to, or he had other priorities . he cruised with his great skillset/physical talents . he could have been one of the greats,but he didnt even come close.

Adam on the other hand has limited physical tools which he has used to excel beyond even the most atheletic people in the ncaa to already become one of the best NCAA players to come out in the last decade. all that while being a type one diabetic. thats desire . thats heart. thats a guy i want on our team so all the athletic beasts can look at him and say , wow , if this guy can do it while being so limited ... then i could probably be even better if i worked just as hard. putting in that volcano of desire and passion in with the rest of our youth is probably the best thing we could hope for . its going to encourage and motivate our young guys. your leader has to be your best worker. adams workethic is unsurpassed by anyone in the draft class, or anyone on the raptors . CV could take some lessons from adam in the heart dept, put adams heart in cvs body and you have yourself a superstar. thats the kind of influence we need in our locker room. a guy who is gonna come in, shake things up , yell at people for dragging their asses, and they will appreciate it . if anyones played basketball on an organized level all i can say is that the best motivation comes from the peers on the court, not the coach yelling from the sidelines. i want the guy who has a lions heart in a limited body ( think of it as the rudy motivation. people see that hes not the most physically intimidating, heck hes even goofy looking sometimes, but they see that with heart anyone can do anything ). the raptors dont need mcgrady-like atheletes who have no heart. its a waste.
