He isn't able to run up and down the court right now. That much can't be debated. But that doesn't mean that he isn't working hard. I'm of the belief that everyone should lay off the kid's weight. If our season's success is on a freshman who wasn't expected to play much, the blame falls on our staff.
All of this hype, for 4 years, and it comes down to a freshman with a weight problem and a Bosnian that no basketball fan has ever heard of before this past summer. Not pretty.
Still, it's early, and both of them can contribute. They showed signs of that on Saturday.
I don't disagree. Obviously he's not in optimal condition. But he wasn't in optimal condition in 7 months ago when he announced or 4 months ago when he signed. To say that he's wasting his opportunity because he hasn't developed a body by jake in the three months he's been on campus is absurd. And for his coach to fat shame him is repulsive, especially considering that nearly every word that comes out of Lavin's mouth is self serving twaddle, including and and the.
I liked what I saw from ADLR. Obviously he's a basketball player. If he applies himself in a couple of years he be a force. If he doesn't there'll be more than enough time to call him names. And if the great and powerful recruiting wasn't so chaotic it wouldn't matter anyway.
All of that is true.
And still Adonis will not be a pro.
So what?

Yes, in the first place, so what, in the second place, irrelevant, in the third place, non sequitur, in the fourth place, who cares, and in the fifth place, utter nonsense - Dele Coker plays professional basketball and Adonis is already better than him.

I'm referring back to a conversation from a few days ago. Fun took issue with my declaration that ADR wasn't a future pro, as another poster had suggested.
Of course anything is possible. And for purposes of discussion I consider being a pro to be the NBA, d-league, or a high-level European league.
ADR has soft hands for a big guy. And I really welcome that, because it's been forever and a day since we had a big man who had a hook shot and could hit free throws. But his lack of mobility is a huge issue in an era when physical play is being de-emphasized so that offensive players have freedom of movement.
He's going to have to be able to stay with much quicker guys who are going to float around the perimeter looking to pick and roll or pick n pop.
It'll be fun to watch him for four years. But I just think its ridiculous for anyone to say he's got the nba in his future. He doesn't.
But that won't stop me from enjoying him while he's in college. Should be a good 4-year player if he can drop some weight.
