seems marcus gave young some great advice

[rollie mass]

brad said this summer critical as time is going to be hard to find next season,smart said he has to work really hard as not only are nba players better then you, then you have rookies coming in-both quotes are recent

Hard to read your post, plus I don't see the relation with the tittle.
Any link please?

You have to love Smart's work ethic and attitude.

I'm sorry but WHAT??

Wouldn't be a Rollie thread if it were exactly clear.

But I take it he's referring this to quote from Marcus:

Advice for fellow rookie James Young: "My advice would be to tell him, "You've got to work harder than you've ever worked. This isn't college anymore. Guys are better than you or just as good as you and they're always gonna bring someone to replace you if you're not gonna do what you're supposed to do, so you've got to keep that in mind, that I could be gone at any given time because every year there's another batch of players coming in.""

Seems to be unfortunate confirmation that the rumors of Young's poor work ethic and focus have some basis.

thanks for that but i got the gist of it right-recovering from mini stroke that hit last week after a deep vein thrombosis and pulmary embolism about 3 weeks ago-i just wanted to start the thread there is allways someone to sort out my code and you did get the real point-work ethic--
some have it and some have to develope it and others never get it--TP for your effort

Not too concerned about Young's work ethic, yet. The kid is 19 and the NBA is a lot to take in. Bradley took a couple of years, and he even admitted that he just started watching film and doing what it takes to becoming a professional in this league. I expect Young to get a chance for the Cs to see if he's a keeper this year. I don't see his trade value being that high so, rather than give him away let's give the kid a chance.

You did get the gist of it right--and I hope you're doing much better now.

Could there possibly be another reference other than most obvious explanation for the quote? Maybe Smart was referencing that Young was currently working hard and he has to keep it up? Maybe there is some uncertainty in the quote with Young's current work ethic.

I think that Young's working hard and has to keep it up as he was training in Waltham and Stevens isn't worried about his work ethic.

Get well rollie!

I hope so, now is the prime season to get better
