You want to see effort night in, night out? look at hornesby. Probably the least athletic guy on the team. however the most consistant guy on the team.
Hornsby is not even close to the "least athletic" guy on the team. In fact, he might be the most athletic guy on the team. He only gets thought of as a lesser athlete because he is white.
That said, he busts his arse on both sides of the ball night in and night out and stands out especially on offense because he is the one guy who is constantly moving away from the ball to try to get himself open for a shot. Everything else on offense (in the halfcourt) is simply just a bunch of guys standing around with no clear direction. Ball screens are just kind of set randomly with no urgency. Once the screen is set 75% of the time the screener just turns and looks. No dive to the basket, no pop out for an open look. Nothing. It's like everyone is just watching to see when someone else will make a play.

ok, a little exageration. The least athletic of the starters. how's that? Darcy Malone may be the least atheletic him or odo. has nothing to do about black or white. The other players, TQ, Martin, Mickey, etc are athletic. patterson may not be all that athletic, he's more of a smooth player. haven't seen him jump, glide, etc.
With that said, i don't see hornsby as a athletic freak. I don't see him as an unathletic cluts, either. I see him as a guy who is out hustling everyone to get his stats. If the other players played with his energy night in and night out, this would be a top 10 to 5 team.
Wrap your brain around this, Hornsby had 4 rebounds last night and J Martin had 5. Who's the more athletic guy? Who's the bigger guy? How does that happen? I'm not even going into tennesse's team that a number of guys aroun 6ft 5 in out rebound these guys.
