Gotta say, I feel like we're giving the social predators short shrift here. Generally, social animals like lions and wolves spend a lot more or their lives fighting, meaning they are more experienced at it, and therefore better at it.

Thus far, McD has been one of the best rookies by win shares or PER. I think that he's going to be a much better player than his draft level would have indicated.

Good point. Marcus Smart has allegedly refused to work out for the Jazz, for instance.

Why?
