                                Wall is definitely lazy.  Not dedicated either.  I don't know him personally but it kind of pisses me off to read about his approach.  Ever see the YouTube video of "Cribs" w/Wall?
Even though he went to UK, part of me roots against him, just for that BS.

                        This is just a shot in the dark, but maybe he has the "I don't give a fuck" attitude because he's on a bad team?Azubuike24;1141354 wrote:Wall is definitely lazy.

Not justifying that in any way..just saying I think that does happen (players play really hard when on a good team, and vice versa).

                                Maybe true.  How long can you maintain that attitude?  I'd say you can give the guy 3-5 years.  Hyped as hell out of college, #1 pick, more money than you know what to do with.  Lots of guys have that honeymoon period when they come into the NBA.
At what point do they mature and realize there's more to making your career? He's only 21. We'll see if it ever happens. IMO, it WILL happen with Cousins. He might never carry a team to a title, but once he's in a position to make an impact on a contender, he'll give his all. I have reservations about Wall.
That's one of those undervalued aspects to picking a prospect though...

                                Im kinda with Az on this. Im not sure, if I had to pick a PF moving forward (starting next year for the foreseeable future) I wouldnt have Cousins #3.

                                I don't think anybody thinks cousins is a bad player. He's got potential to be a great player. We were just pointing out his man crush. Nobody said he stinks..

                                Cousins is a beast so long as he keeps his attitude in check.

                                Also, Bynum was trying to steal the ball away from Blake with time running out. This after he was standing at the 3 point line begging for him to pass it. 
Bynum needs someone to seriously hit him with a baseball bat across the head.

                                It seems liek Bynum all the sudden went off the deep end.  Had he always been like this, or is this shit all new?

I also have no idea why you're stalking me when I don't even pay attention to you outside of you addressing me personally.

His reasoning for parking in handicap spots was basically to get in and out of the store quicker.
