Which is probably as good a way to put it as anything. It's definitely a 
mind set issue. I know they can get beat up when they take it inside, but 
keep it up and that will even out and you will get better calls. Also, your 
point in an earlier post wishing they would follow up their shot 
occasionally rather than acting as if they're all a cert is equally dead on 
and another of my pet peeves (Probably 1 and 2 on the list of my 
particularly pet peeves with how slow we are to respond after a made basket 
by the other team. Don't take your time deciding to maybe pass it in and 
have the guy with the ball be the last person on either team to make it up 
court - shove it down their throats, to send a message and to get some easy 
hoops/fouls.)

Shouldn't surprise people - before the knee problems his two biggest assets 
were an amazingly quick first step paired with being someone that can 
handle and seems to enjoy the contact you need to play inside at his size. 
He's still got a decent first step now and is more than willing to bang it 
with the best of 'em.
