    So the kid is wise which makes sense, because it really takes a great mentality to be good in the NBA today. Every kid that comes out is an athletic freak with great technical skill, but it’s the mental aspect which separates the guys who are going to have long, successful careers. This kid clearly has great mentality for a professional at his age and it really makes sense, why despite not being a top lottery, pick he contributed straight away.

    I love what I hear from the young guys today. They’re all about winning and maxing out their potential. Another theme is a lot of them are men of faith. It doesn’t seem like they’re gonna be like the previous era (teaming up instead of competing, team-hopping, trying to be celebs, status obsessed, etc.).
