Miss prospect. I think people think they see a lack of effort but what they are actually seeing is his style of play. He's a more reactionary player. He's not Marcus smart type that is running all over going crazy and physical...
He's got a bit more of a veteran type approach where he doesn't waste a lot of energy. It's kind of what I referenced earlier... It looks like he kind of floats around and hovers on both sides of the ball. He's not going to dunk on top of you, he's going to spin it off the glass on a reverse. He's not going to get in someone's face on D... He will kind of hover around and then make a reactionary play.
I can definitely see why people would question his intensity... But I think it's because they aren't used to seeing someone that plays the way he does. I am sure it is something he can improve on--but I'm not too worried about it.
BTW I'm not arguing with you I get you are just bringing up criticisms people have which is fair.
