Does anyone know what's going on? Why no playing time? How is he physically?

Can you explain it, please?

i dont get how the kid got so badly outta shape...his knee was messed up, but why wasnt he working on his upper body and on a restricted diet so he wouldnt gain weight...seems like in a year he went from a beast to a,well, as it was said, shell of his former self...i realize the extent of the injury but still

Norm Roberts On Thomas: "Rob had a great offseason. This is the first time Rob has been able to go through an entire summer's worth of conditioning and working out every day, and he has done a great job on his body. Rob has lost almost 20 pounds and has gotten quicker and more confident. He is getting back to the form that he was in high school, and we knew that would take time. He has really worked hard on his body, and in school."

Is Roberts saying that he would play and play well?

Most ppl who get injured lose a lot of their physical self especially with knee injuries because you just simply can't do what you normally do become sedentary.  He looks a lot better this year.  It's more psychological and getting the rust off and hoenstly the Mason injury opens the door.  Its a different dimension to the game he has now.  He is a crafty scorer.  You can't teach someone a nose for the basket.  He has that.

did you really thunk he looked good? I thought he was hard to watch.
boothe found him right under the basket for a wide open dunk, and he bricked it. Maybe he got 3 inches off the floor.

on the next possession, he tried a baby hook, and was rejected.

I hope it's just rust, but we're going to need him against the big boys, and he struggled against Howard.

He hasn't played significant minutes in almost 3 years(2 at St. John's and I believe he didn't play much his last year in high school) and coming off the worst knee injury our trainer has ever seen.  Give the kid a break already.
