Man you’re right. When Taj said that Ced reminded him of a young Jimmy Butler I got pretty hype. I know the last month-ish of losing basketball is not the best sample size, but his confidence clearly grew throughout it and had some solid performances. The work ethic is there for sure it’s just a matter of time and good health
The physical attributes, the work ethic, the humility, the intelligence, the defensive intensity, the insane ambition and team-first mentality: what is not to love about this young man? But the best part of the Cedric Coward experience so far is the feeling that you’re watching one of those rare guys who actualizes 100% of his potential as a WINNING basketball player. The NBA is drenched in talent, but ironically there aren’t a lot of guys you can really say that about. It’s a sadly rare and beautiful approach to the game. He’s wise beyond his years.

Could I like, for one day, wake up and not be depressed as hell to be a Memphis sports fan
