I read an article that I really enjoyed, just thought you guys get a chance at reading it too.

“No matter if you’ve proven yourself at every level. Until you’ve reached your ceiling at the highest level, that word will follow you around. ”

Exert from SLAM Issue 138:

“Sure, hard work is all swell and dandy. But when the production isn’t there, it isn’t enough to satisfy fans and media hungry for wins. And because he’s [Michael Beasley] is so talented, people expect so much, so soon from Michael. Too much, too soon. Maybe.

Even the highest performing college players – and Beasley’s ’07-08 campaign at Kansas State was one of the best in recent memory – are tagged with that word. It’s that word LeBron instantly left in the rear-view mirror, and the same word that probably still haunts Lenny Cooke and Gerald Green to this day. Potential. No matter if you’ve proven yourself at every level. Until you’ve reached your ceiling at the highest level, that word will follow you around. B-Easy knows this, and he understands why.”

Yeah you see players who dominate at a lower level (college or high school) and then they get to the league and they dont produce at the level they were before. But coaches are like parents who try make their kids grow up too fast. some kids can but others need you to take steps with them and let them go when their ready its like when you teach them how to ride a bike and you let go to early and they fall because they dont how to use breaks. Beasley is going to be good in this league 19-8 easily once he finds out what he needs to do to get it done. as for Gerald Green he needs to get to a team that gives him the JR and Crawford role go in and score he can get 15 easily with his skill and athletism
