Well, he went from being a guy who was supposed to be a four year bench warmer to one of the top three in consideration for player of the year in the Pac 10 when he was a senior. He doesn't let anyone else convince him that he can't do something, and he doesn't allow himself to let down or give in when he wants to. I can't doubt him or his abilities because of that. People say that Earl's too short to be a starting point, but if Mike Bibby and Baron Davis are starting point guards, there's no arguement there. Earl can jump with the best of them, plays better defense than most, and can shoot. He wasn't given a chance to shoot that much last year, but he wasn't that far off his near 50% shooting from his senior year.
I don't know what's going to happen, but I have confidence in him. So does he, and that's one of the best attributes that someone can have.
