In the NBA we see every facial expression and every emotion in an athlete to a point where we become personaly attached to that player without even realizing it - we then place that NBA athlete down to our level viewing him as a human being thus making it easier to critize as we constantly compare him to our own humility.

No.

Rad has more physical tools and a different skill set.

And as far as Walton and the mental thing - I think you have to make the distinction between court vision and decision making.

Exactly. He's actually a very talented player, even in terms of things he doesn't get credit for, like his passing. Great hands too and a heady player in general. Problem is he loses focus too often, for whatever reason, and makes head-scratching plays at times. He's really a lot like Odom sometimes, which is scary bad.

Re: Space Cadet

He is like the opposite of Luke.

Luke is a good decision maker and has a great grasp of the offense, he just cant shoot.

Vlad has the shot, but most of the time he doesnt know what to do or how to play.


Neither of them will ever be considered defensive minded.
