One thing that was brought up a few times was that there is so many guys like VJ running around in the playoffs. I think that’s a feature, not a bug. It’s good for his chances of being a 16-game player like those guys and it’s also good for his chances of going beyond that.
A lot this resides in the belief that players can scale up, and it does happen. A lot of the things that would point to a player being able to be a future star are actually the things we’d typically associate with role players and a lot of the overrated things are the things we’d associate with being a star. It doesn’t always work out this way of course, but those have been the trends historically.
