I don't think unmotivated is the right word, but there were moments where he went quiet where he should've exploded and taken over. He would take over for a stretch and then fade out. I'm sure Grizzlies fans aren't upset with his tournament performance because if he played up to his potential in the NCAAs he would've been selected a lot earlier.
I don't doubt that he'll become a star, but I'll just watch and see.

Dude was 19 years old. I'm going to call BS on that lack of desire. Keith Van Horn didn't lack desire at all. He was just soft when he got to the pros. In college, he was better than practically everyone. He got the pros and his lack of confidence (not desire) killed him.
