We're so lucky that we were able to get Al back. Dude is a winner.

I was thinking about how Horford was derisively nicknamed "Average Al" by a local Boston talk radio host a few years ago - no doubt because his stats didn't jump out at you. It's so interesting how real basketball people like Stevens can see beyond the stats to a player's true value. I think Jrue is in that same mold, and in fact, Stevens talks about him much the same way. Some guys are winners and their value far exceeds what the box score says.

Stevens always had a penchant for those "swiss army" type of players. Ex: Turner, Hayward. Everybody thought Jrue was very good, however how many people thought White? Writer's note - USA basketball, White made the team; didn't understand why then, however I definitely understand why now! |
