re: Herb Jones appreciation

IIRC, back when he was a freshman, there was talk of HJ having lottery pick skills. But then Avery ruined him.
I can speak from a little experience from when I had a hard pushing coach (high school we're talking about), I excelled. When that coach passed away, he was replaced by somebody that didn't really care. It affected my performance and to this day I wish I had been pushed harder my senior year. Still, ultimately my own fault. And maybe, just maybe, Herb is a little like I was, where he needs a hard pushing coach to get him to excel.
