I'm gonna drop this because it won't happen anyway, but one thing that bothers me is that people just mention an age and then say, "So he can still get better."
That's just not true. For example, Greivis Vasquez's lateral movement was never getting better. Not at 22, not at 24, not now.
Similarly, there are some traits that we just know a guy will NEVER improve and/or ones that are 1 in a 1000. Like, I'm willing to bet Drimmond never shoots 70 percent from the line. No matter how much he practices
The guys who stink at 29 were once 22. Guys don't just automatically improve and there are some areas where we know they never will. Okafor will never even be average guarding on the perimeter. Not even a 1 percent chance
So, I don't care if he's 20 or 27. He doesn't have certain traits and he can never have certain traits. And that goes for a lot of guys.
