Sure, he had his moments, and was a solid player, but it just seems like he could have been a real star. Our general consenses was that he became incredibly unselfish in the league and for whatever reason, didn't seem to want to "be the man" on the teams he played for. This seems to be a complete reversal of his nature at Duke.
There are a lot of Duke Basketball experts on this board. If you were having the same conversation, what would be some of the insights you would have?
