I guess when I watch basketball, I must not see things the way most people do. What can I say? I must be old school.
When I look at O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson, I see very gifted athletes with a lot of question marks in their overall games. Good ball-handling skills, quick feet and a good vert, but definitely lacking in things such as good shot selection, a feel for playmaking for others beside themselves and positioning themselves for rebounds after an errant shot. A bit of early days Kobe-itis, in short.
And, as much as it pains me to say so, being a Bruins fan, but Kevin Love has no UCLA legacy. He has no sense of tradition or commitment and no, his game isn't complete, either. Coach Wooden would disapprove and probably does in the case of all three of these young men.
