I agree. His potential was high but his starting skills were not that great. Heres where he started:
Jump Shot: pitiful
Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: pitiful
Handling: atrocious
Driving: awful
Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: respectable
Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable
Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: atrocious
Free Throw: inept
Here is what he looks like now:
(22158616)He got lots of early pops on the guard skills which started real low and got his ID up a couple of levels. Probably still end up pretty mono-skilled but at least hes not atrocious passing and handling now. OD, JS and DR have improved too.
I think he did the right thing improving all those atrocious-pitiful skills.
