I think Blake Griffin falls into this category. I could be wrong, but I think he was average when he got into the league. Now his handle is ridiculous for a big man, and it is even better than the majority of point guards.
Performance level is Talent+Work. At the NBA level it is "exceptional talent + Work" At the Jordan/Malone/Stocton Level it is "exceptional talent + exceptional work."
This is an area where I respect Kobe. He's worked hard. Dimension 1: Does Dante have the talent? the exceptional talent? I think some of the things he does physically are evidence he is exceptional. Dimension 2: Does he have the work ethic to become exceptional? I'm glad to hear that he tested off-the-charts. therefore i'm banking on all-star or better from him.
