it's a response to him looking phenomenal when he runs the break, and criticisms that he doesn't do much when he's not involved in the offense (which I can't validate one way or the other).
he looks to be a good outlet passer though. not going coast to coast on all these clips like shaq in blue chips. so he can get the ball to mcw to start the break (who will leak out with the towerz protecting the d boards) when he pulls one down

I fly fairly regularly and I've never been bothered by reclined seats. I like how they had him fly to Philly (why bother if he's getting waived immediately?).
