"So as a rookie, having heard that he was too skinny to compete in the paint with the NBA's resident bruisers, he began the long process of bulking up. The following offseason, he was determined to become a better ballhandler. This summer, he has worked on his face-up game. He also has tried to develop right- and left-handed hook shots, which, considering his pterodactyl-like wingspan, could become unblockable if he develops any sort of consistency."

Dedication and desire to improve? Hell yes.
