"As Quick details, the former No. 1 overall pick was reportedly late to team flights and practices, skipped injury rehab appointments, and threw “tantrums” in the locker room when he was benched for poor effort. He also had little self-awareness about his role, says Quick, having envisioned himself as the team’s “cornerstone” when he joined the Blazers ahead of the 2023/24 season."
I'm sure Lakers fans are going to love this....
That is terrible. I can find away to explain away why PHX failed. He is not blameless, but I can explain it. To see he went to Portland (who was a non contender) and did not ball out tells me a lot about him. That guy has near all star potential if he is just engaged and tries. His next step is going to be really important for him.
