    You and many others gave up on him before he'd even played 100 games. You went too far in the criticism and called him the worst player in the league. That's hating. The boy clearly has talent. He was just struggling on a team where pretty much everyone was struggling, but he's always had potential. DC fans always immediately give up on young players who struggle.

    Last night showed the many positives he can bring to the table. Particularly on offense. Not just converting opportunities with high efficiency at the rim. But he helps space the floor with his size and passing ability. He was effectively utilized setting off ball screens for shooters and he takes up a lot of room and can give teammates completely uncontested looks at the basket. And his passing was outstanding. That's what I mean about IQ. He just sees the floor very well and he understands angles and spacing and he knows where his teammates are at. He can definitely stuff the stat sheet, he did it last night.

    On D he was rebounding and contesting all kinds of shots and again, he just takes up a lot of space. And he's comfortable operating in space. Great length and quickness. Good job getting into passing lanes. These are the kinds of performances he's capable of.

    Good post. I think part of what caused the rush to bury Vesely is that it fit in nicely with the "Ernie Must Go" line of thinking. It's readily apparent that Vesely has ELITE physical talent and above-average floor IQ. He needs seasoning, patience and a climate of success to be the player he can be. If we dont provide that for him, someone like Utah or Phoenix will and he will end up as yet another of the "One that got away" type of guys.

    I see this is a pity party for Cotto. IMO, Cotto was never a great fighter. He was good, but he is a nothch below Pac, May, Trinidad, Oscar and a young Mosley. And let's tell it like it is, it's was HIS decision to fight the best fighters and I applaud him for that. He's on record in saying he will follow the $. No one can never say that he isn't a fighting champion though. Now that I think of it, most Puerto Rican fighters are fighting champions.

    With that being said, Cotto doesn't deserve to headline another PPV card. Canelo should call out Floyd or just fight Trout. We know he'll beat Cotto. Do we need to see that beatdown to prove it?

    Agree 100%. Cinnamon V Cotto would be non-competitive.
