    Most kids, these days, have been convicted enough.

    Ya damn hoodlums.

    Did you see the random stream of consciousness vid of him posted earlier? I'd have to agree the kid is not the brightest bulb on the marquee. But he can ball.

    I've heard too much self conviction can make a kid go blind. I'll let you know.

    He can pass, make play's on defense, and rebound = High IQ IMO. The same people who wrote those articles, are the ones who helped him slip to us.

    Just because he doesn't talk fast like he's high on cocaine, doesn't mean he's not smart. If you really listen to what he has to say you can hear he's a committed student of the game.

    Start at 2:15 where he compares his instinct to KD, speaks to his detractors, and shows his character:

    I wonder if it's possible for him to bulk up to around 205.

    Right now he's a twig.

    You may be thinking, "This kid was only drafted at 40," but that would be denigrating.

    You should allow him his dignity and think, "This kid was drafted 21 spots ahead of Wesley Matthews."
