#2 The bar is not set high here for him to play. The bar appears to be Mozgov. Leap over that and he is playing. He's already been above that bar so him not playing is the result of him regresssing. He appears to be very fragile mentally. As soon as he faces adversity he goes in the tank. The team has not lost patience in him. Briggs has and it appears RAndolph has.

#3 Why rush to trade a guy when his value is at an all-time low. Why not continue to work with him in practice and then trade him after he gets minutes(unless something great comes along). What is the rush? It's been 25 games.

#4 Let's be honest we don'tknow if the staff has given up on him. We don't know if the staff is working hard to help him improve and he isn't responding. We don't know if the staff is working hard, he is working hard and is right on the cusp of playing. We know nothing.

Yeah, it's the whole "missing defensive assignments" thing that is troubling.

that and the fact that coach has told him to concentrate on rebounding and defense only to see him try to do everything but

Amazing that he thinks it should be otherwise. Too bad he can't get a couple of weeks in the D League to straighten out his game. Take page from the Terrance Williams/Avery Johnson book. This reminds me of Trevor Ariza telling LB that he should be playing more mins. We all remember how that turned out.

3rd year can go, but they have to agree to the assignment.

I'm extremely disappointed by AR. It seems like he may have emotional issues or something. He cried because Nellie took him out of games at times. He may also just think he's going to be moved at this rate with all the stories about him... but geez, what a disappointment. this kid could be helping so much right now.
