Personally I find Christmas extremely frustrating and I understand the staff's frustration. He seems to totally fall asleep out there and lose focus. We can all see flashes of his ability to be a real difference maker but he has absolutely no consistency at all. His limitations seem self imposed. He ticks off referees by showing them up and smacking his arm on calls he doesn't get and is late getting back defensively by pouting about it. Refs will always win in the end.  We all know Baye's short comings, Grant's limitations etc - what are Christmas's?  I could name a different strength and weakness not only each game but every other play. He can be a great shot blocker when he puts his mind to it and he can be a defensive sieve the next minute, he can dunk with authority one minute and take a weak fade away on a rebound put back the next. He can be over aggressive and then totally passive and he's going to be a senior. His effort is so sporadic - motivating this kid seems to be a real issue and like his play he probably responds differently to efforts to motivate him.
