The redemption story is interesting, but I think a common thread following "troubled players" is that they normally need to grow into themselves as NBA players. Translated, that means that by the time these guys reach their full potential, they tend to be past their rookie contracts, often on a new team.

Just watched some HS videos of him. Very fluid for a taller player. Supposedly even taller now. I guess people could see Chris Bosh or Andray Blatche in him. If he is truly motivated, then he could be more than Blatche... but he's been through so much already, will someone really take a chance on him?
