knee? That has impacted his ability to get up and down the floor. At Purdue he ran the floor surprisingly well for someone his size and Pope said his hustle was one of the things that made him unique and why he loved his commitment so much. Hard to judge a guy's hustle when he's not playing healthy. I'd rather applaud his effort to play thru his injuries and for giving what he can to the team.

Having said all that I totally agree about pumping the brakes on a move to the NBA until his healthy play merits a look from the league.
