I think these kids, especially those as physically gifted as Wally is, cruise through their youth athletic careers and never have to work for much.  Then they get to a point where they are challenged.  Some man up, meet the challenge head on, and proceed in their development.  Others choose to quit.  It's a character issue.  (Would take back, too.)

Wall-E was spotted at Tubby's dance side after the game. As he was leaving the bar a kid about half his size said something to him that didnt go over very well. Wall-E picks the kid up(under the armpits grab) and brings him to his eye level then drops the guy. Dood was shaking afterwards he was so scared.

People love a success story. Redemption. He's clearly fallen on trouble times and he's just so rough ridin' adorable. If he is going to turn it around, people would rather he did that here than go somewhere else and do it. He's a great athlete that could develop into something great. If he loves the team, loves manhattan, has lost his soft side. I'll take him back, even if it's only in a Luis Colon capacity.

If he wants to come back and walk on, I am fine with that. I'm not sure what you have seen from Judge that indicates he will ever be as good as Colon.

ordinary high-major athlete? What does that even mean? If you want to tell me he is an ordinary basketball player, fine. You want to tell me he will never be a great baller, fine. I don't know you can say he is not a great athlete though. I don't care what you amount to in college, if you have such nice highlight videos, you are a great athlete. Not necessarily a great basketball player though.

No one has it all.  But you're wrong on most of those counts according to NBA draft analysts.  They don't rate him highly based on skill.

i don't think any nba draft analysts currently rate him highly.  some people looked at him in high school and aau and thought that he was a better athlete than he is.  after playing a year and a half of college bball, it became apparent that he lacks either the strength, the balance or the bounce to do anything overly athletic in traffic.

jumping off one foot with a ten foot warmup run is a pretty useless skill for a 6'8" pf.

I think he's dropped in the rankings more because of his inability to acquire skills at a normal rate.  They knew what they were dealing with physically from the beginning and there are plenty of weak, skinny players in the NBA.  Back to the colloquial use of the word "athleticism," though:

Quote
Judge's NBA potential, much like his production was as a freshman, is tied to his jaw-dropping athleticism. Blessed with outstanding leaping ability, long arms, and solid quickness, Judge is an NBA caliber athlete, and then some.

As an aside, it seems like some of the point guard talk similarly loses something in translation between those who follow the NBA and those who don't.

maybe it isn't an issue of strength?  i offered that up as one possibility, but i don't think it is the most logical explanation for the gap between judge's athleticism hype and his ability to make athletic plays.

regardless of the underlying reason, i don't see how anyone that watched judge play a fair bit could consider him outstandingly athletic for a high-major college basketball player.  the three big 12 pfs in recent memory that stand out to me as way above average athletes are blake griffin, juan pattillo and perry jones.  in each of their cases, i don't think you had to watch them play for more than a half before you'd see them do something extraordinarily athletic.  in a year and a half, i never saw judge do anything extraordinarily athletic.

Cannot disagree with most of this but his athleticism has been held back by a stunning lack of confidence and PT. Also he is not anywhere near 6'8".

Wally sucked while here and I don't know why people defend him.  If we are Wally's UConn, good for him for finding success wherever he goes.  He clearly will not find it here.  He is not a player who is mentally strong enough to work under Frank.  I don't want him back, as I think his pussy attitudes undercut an overall mentally strong team.

It's because, given the way these people are using the word "athletic," athleticism isn't measured on the court.  It's measured in units like inches and seconds.  For you, it seems more like "good athlete" simply means good basketball player.  In that case, he's not a good athlete trivially because he's not a good basketball player, right?

There are also further distinctions to make.  You can imagine someone with more basketball ability than anyone else in the world (whatever that is) simply not being interested in playing basketball.  You can shove him out on the court, but if he doesn't try due to lack of interest, he just runs up and down and doesn't appear to be a good basketball player and maybe isn't one.  Isn't something like this the best explanation for Judge?  He quit.  How much interest can he have?

The Wally Judge Challenge:   If he plays again, can he go for more than 1 minute 37 seconds without having 2 fouls??

But at this time Wally is a full blown FP/TC and FRANKly, I hope he walked in one day and found his locker clean out with a note that mentions something about a Waffle House and crossing the Rubicon.

I think that when people say that, they're usually talking about things you're more or less born with like speed, agility, and leaping ability.  Things like having good hands and passing well seem more like acquired skills.

thanks, chum1.  i think when i say that he's not a great athlete, i'm usually talking about him not being particularly strong, fast, agile or bouncy compared to other high-major power forwards.  i might also be talking about body control and balance.

Is Wally big (tall) enough to play the 4 in the NBA?  Not referring to what kstatesports lists him as. 

yeah, he has a great body.

I'd liked to have seen him get some time to develop like JHR has and if he sucks, Frank could "buy in or quit" him.  No biggie now but he could have provided some pretty high end depth...if he was willing to be a man and not let some girl ruin his career.

That is exactly what happened. Wally was given much more PT than JHR and did a lot less developing, so Frank "buy in or quit" him.

no.  good bbll player isn't the same as good athlete, despite probable positive correlations.  almeida for example, i think is a good bball player, but i do not consider him a very good athlete.  in the opposite direction, pattillo was a great athlete, but a mediocre bball player.

i do argue that displayed athleticism over a year and half of playing bball is a better measure of bball athleticism than how high you can jump off one foot after running in from the three point line on an empty court.

but if you have observational evidence, there's no real need to make the distinction.  if a guy gets it done, it doesn't matter how.  on the other hand, if you're trying to project how someone will do at the "next level" with no observational evidence at that next level, you want the positive correlation that comes with the things like jumping high and running fast.  so, there's a need to describe that stuff and "athleticism" can work for that.

I think these kids, especially those as physically gifted as Wally is, cruise through their youth athletic careers and never have to work for much.  Then they get to a point where they are challenged.  Some man up, meet the challenge head on, and proceed in their development.  Others choose to quit.  It's a character issue.  (Would take back, too.)

Couldn't agree more. Great Analyses EMO.

I still would have loved to see what Wally could do facing up more. Oh well.

From all that I've heard I think it's pretty obvious Wally has had some emotional issues likely tied into ADD he's been dealing with. His life will likely continue to be an up and down struggle until he finds the best way for him personally to cope with those issues. That's almost certainly why both him and Frank thought it was best for him to step away from basketball for the time being. The girl thing may have forced the matter a bit and been a part of the issue but no way was it even close to being the biggest problem.

Fatty's right, in some cases, quitting is alright. People need to realize there's probably a lot more going on here.
