The horrendous attitude of some of those players completely negated what talent they might have had. As someone stated in another thread, too many of the players on last year's team would have quit when they got behind last night. They had no heart and no work ethic. The 2010 edition at least appears to want to work hard and get better.

On the 2010 team, give me newell at the point, and I will take the 2010 team. Blari couldn't stay in front of tommy.
In theory, the 29 kids have more talent. But in reality and during the 209 season, Willie only had one functioning leg and thus couldn't defend, score or run. Gallon could only play hard for 3-5 minutes and then needed oxygen. He and Wright mostly played grabass adn not defense and would both have fouled out of virtually every game within a few minutes. Offensively, they were selfish and more worried about who was getting shots than getting a good shot by whomever. Crocker is the best player on the 2009 team, and in about half the games, he was a ghost, for reasons I don't know and will never understand. The kid was spectacular in one game and then would play a couple games where he just stood around and watched. He was that way his whole career. This might be a little unfair as he generally played defense consistently.
If Gallon and Tommy had stayed, been forced to compete, and gotten their heads on straight, they could and would have been really special I think. But, in 29, they were as much a part of the problem as the solution.
