My caution here is that it's one thing to talk the talk, but people don't suddenly change their personality, or their core character. DJ admits he's shy and not assertive ( = not a leader). He's already demonstrated that he's not the toughest guy out there (he wilted under LB's coaching and critique). So my caution is to not get wrapped up in the warm and fuzzy things coming our of camp. Part of this is happening, and part of this is Bonnell projecting. DJ still has to prove it, he has to prove it all night...prove it all right...( say's The Boss).
Warm and fuzzy??? Whose getting warm and fuzzy.I want DJ to do better and he has to for us to return to the playoffs and boosting his confidence is the 1st step in order for him to do that.I've always thought DJ would be a starter in this league,so these "warm and fuzzy" responses coming out of camp hasn't influenced my view of him as a player one bit,although it is good to hear he's starting to step up to the plate.
Hey, I understand what you're saying. Believe me, I want DJ to sudddenly turn into the second coming of Chris Paul! I want Diaw to grow a sack and become an undersized Karl Malone. And even if they don't reach those heights, we need them to reach their full potential every game. I want them to succeed, because NOT doing so means we're 2 key players short.
