My feeling is that some players are only good in certain coaching styles and aren't able to adjust a coach whose methods are drastically different.

Is it Morrison's fault he was picked third, that everybody expected Larry Bird from him? Is he a bust because he didn't work? I'm skeptical of automatically throwing that label on a player because he didn't produce the way his draft position says he should've produced. That being said, Morrison is just awful as a player. And I believe he smokes, which is a no-no for a professional athlete, much less a diabetic one - is that grounds for questioning is work ethic? In an aside, I think we need to re-evaluate what it takes to be a bust. I mean, Darko is an okay player - the fact that he was taken ahead of three spectacular players shouldn't weigh entirely on him, but also on the bad decision made by the Pistons. His work ethic has been questioned, but like Morrison, it's not his fault that others saw a different player.

being a lakers fan i think we upgraded. morrison is what he is.a 6'9' slow footed jump shooter who does not play defense. the upside for the lakers is that he is younger than rad-man. morrison can still be a productive role player. maybe a kukoc type. still too early 4 bust talk.
