Unlike Beno, all the stories/reports I've heard about Ian is how he's working extremely hard on his conditioning and trying to bulk up to play at the NBA level. How anyone could translate that to being lazy is kind of ridiculous.
As Bruno said he wasn't injury prone last year on the D League and it's not his fault (to a point) that Pop didn't want him on the regular roster last year. I would have preferred that he was on the roster last year. I think he definitely could have helped.
It's bad timing and bad luck. It's not like he's the only one who's been snake bit by injuries and bad luck this year. If anything it puts him in good company.
As long as he can come in and be a pest on defense then this year is a success in my opinion.
Looking back, yeah, it would have been better had they picked David Lee but that's not Ian's fault. Don't blame the FO decisions on Ian.
