re: Garrett Temple sighting

You seem to have some knowledge about TT that we're missing. What caused his fall. Injuries, or money in the bank that took his edge off?

I know several people who claim that Tyrus was one of the harder working individuals they've ever known. In high school, he was under 6' as a freshman and couldn't even make the team. Grew to 6'10 and played with the most intensity that I've seen from a guy at LSU since Shaq.

Just b/c you play hard, doesn't mean you work hard.
At no point in his nba career did he better himself. He was the same hustle guy that could jump. Hard work off the court might have helped him develop a better jump shot, maybe put on a little weight so he could actually guard an opposing PF.
David West couldn't shoot when he came in the league, but he worked hard at it.
Taj Gibson seemed pretty worthless outside of his hustle, but he worked hard and can hit an open jumper now.
Dajuan Blair is still in the league and he's like 6'5". There's tons of hustle guys still in the league, it's just that those guys are working hard on and off the court.

I don't know Tyrus, and i don't konw what he did in the offseason. If he did work on his game and still failed, then he just isn't talented enough to play in the NBA, but I doubt that.
