I saw a lot of videos of him in high school and wondered how his "fun for the game" would translate. His game is an extension of his personality. I like that Red is allowing him to run with that.He's by far my favorite player on this team. That doesn't mean I don't scream at him through my TV a few times a game, but that's just because I care.
This season would actually have been a bust had he not stepped up.
I hope there are teachable moments in film study about the times to have fun and the times to lock it up. Magic Johnson had to learn those lessons. He didn't let it take his joy from how he played the game but augmented his play to be the best winner he could be. His absolute obsession with winning overrode anything that could be considered "hot dogging" on the court.
I hope that Q has the same mentality because he has a panache that is rare in college sports these days. Couple that with a killer instinct, and the sky is the limit.
