It's weird. It doesn't seem like he lacks motivation, but rather has never really been taught basic defensive principles... which is entirely possible. He's a hard worker, has a desire to win, and has skill... so I see improvement on the horizon.

A. I'm more interested in what he can do development-wise in a long NBA career. There's only so much that college coaches can actually teach a guy in one year of school. That's why the best athletes are the best players. Coaching can only help them so much in that one year from HS to the NBA.
B. This is why I'm interested in seeing what type of coaches Randle, Parker and Wiggins need once they get there. The idea is to build a franchise around them. That starts with the coaching staff.
C. That also happens to be the main reason that I want Ty Corbin nowhere ear that player once they acquire him. I'm all on board with the tank to get the pieces, but all that hard work and rough season is wasted if Corbin is still in Utah in any capacity next year.

This week at JazzFanz.com it's Melo hater week. Order a limited Carmelo Cappuccino and a hero meat ball wrapped in sesame puns. If you don't choke afterwards something is wrong with the natural defense mechanisms of your body.
Great post. I actually thought you were going another direction and was going to counter with basically what you said here. Nice.
Parker doesn't lack confidence on offense.
Strong inside move by Parker. Bumps into his opponent to limit his ability to block and uses the glass for a powerful layup after faking didn't work.
Does he have some skin disease? His facial skin looks like a tanning experiment gone bad with all the inhomogeneous spots.

I'm shocked Randle isn't better at defense. I've always thought one of Calipari's strength when it comes to coaching was defense. I would imagine his defense will be much improved by the end of the year. Like I said earlier, I'm not the biggest an of Cal's coaching, but he does typically coach defense quite well.
