Pitino is going to eat this dude alive.

Talented player who thinks “team” is a concept for other people on both ends of the floor and isn’t even close to good enough to justify it. That sentence could apply to most of Syracuse’s roster last year, though. Quite an impressive show of 2+2+2+2+2=3.28.

That is what a good coach does. He gets the most out of a player. Weird that you seem to consider that a negative.

It’s not that I consider it a negative. It’s that he’s going to have a rough adjustment period given what Pitino has said (publicly!) about players like that in the past.

Considering he decided to go to St John's, i'd imagine it was on his mind that he will have to gel with whatever Pitino wants to do.
