    Yes, the jolt of a new situation awoke him.

    9 years ago we drafted Josh McRoberts. He was a Duke rich boy space case who thought he should be above his current situation. He has sucked his whole career except his 1 1/3 seasons with Charlotte, a traditionally bad team which he abandoned as soon as he could because he considered himself worthy of the Miami Heat, where he resumed sucking. They signed him 2 days after losing LeBron. What a replacement.

    The system of Charlotte's Coach Steve Clifford made McRoberts the decision-maker on most plays, a high-usage point-forward even taller than Batum. Now, Clifford makes Batum look like a big star. Once Batum abandons Charlotte, expect him to go the way of Josh McRoberts.
