Yep.
Marvin is a coaster. He doesn't want to do the heavy lifting. This is evident in all of his previous stops. Why was he on the bench in UNC? There's not a UNC rule, I have seen Roy Williams start plenty of freshmen... Dating back to his Kansas days when he had Adonis Jordan. I think Roy knew that Marvin didn't have the ambition to do much so he posted Marvin on the bench and let him come in behind Jawad. Whereas Marvin had more potential than Jawad, Jawad wanted it more.

Coaches/GMs/owners have to figure this stuff out. Some of us really wanted to get Milsap...of course it didn't happen. With Milsap you have a guy who wasn't given the chance at the college bigtime. He went to a small school. So what did he do? He lead the NCAA in rebounding 3 years in a row. Was the talent he went against less on the average? Yes. Did he do everything he could do in the situation he was in? Yes.

So it only stands to reason that a guy who worked his tail off in the college ranks would likely work his tail off in the pros. Is Milsap leading the NBA in rebounding? No. He is up against considerably better competiton. But you knew he wouldn't take that new competition lightly and settle down...he continues to work his butt off and is a solid pro who constantly works to maximize his potential. 2nd round pick.

He doesn't *want* to produce? That's just ridiculous. I'm sure he wants to be a great player; who doesn't?

That's the question DrZ. It may not actually be ridiculous. Not all people are type-A personalities.
