Apparently having poor workouts. Chad Ford, or whoever it was who came up with the 'Tier' system of ranking talents, put him in the third tier, right after the top 8-10. I think he's badly overrated. Need a player to put up inconsequential stats? Look for Al Thornton. At least he'll be well gone by our pick to a team that doesn't really care about the playoffs.
