    My thinking is they have not given him a chance to coach yet. Still a rookie.

    Roy had a nice finish to his rookie year if I remember correctly. I thin Dame was around 20ppg in his last couple months as well.

    Dame lost 13 games in a row to finish his rookie season while we were tanking.

    Maybe we shouldn't have been excited about his ROY performance either.

    I say it before and I’ll say it again. NFL teams that out of the playoffs still plays hard and they play their starters compared to the NBA. NFL cared about their fan base.

    Man, F the Warriors continuing to play their starters. I don’t root for injuries, but I wouldn’t cry either.

    Jerami Grant gets 'The Enforcer' award? Are you kidding me?

    Grant has his talents, but he is almost the antithesis of Enforcer and toughness on the Glass. Is there something else that award means?

    I think it's not about being an on court thing, it's how he is off court. Charity, etc.

    Sharpe’s energy level has dropped way off this half. He’s walking slow up the court not following the play. Standing in the corner a lot.

    I wonder why the change? I know this is a throw away game, but when I see players in the game, I expect them to be fully engaged and 100% effort.

    Okay, thanks for clarifying. On the court, he is about as far from Big Mo' as a 'power' forward can be.

    The great thing about Dame was we had an entire season of high level production, a summer league MVP, and unamimous rookie of the year selection to help validate the production we saw during the tanking time.

    Most could easily identify the differences between Dame's rookie year and Sharpe's rookie year. Again, I'm not crapping on Sharpe. Sharpe might end up being better than Dame. I'm uncomfortable making that claim though.

    Roy was 23 years old at that point I believe. With lots of game experience under his belt

    Both Dame and Roy were 19 at one point in their life!

    Neither got an opportunity to put up numbers in the NBA at that age. Martell Webster and Telfair put up better NBA numbers at 19 than Dame or Roy.

    If you don’t play hard in the NFL you’re going to get your shit rocked by someone who is playing hard
