Billy really thrives with kids with A level talent and A level ability. See Horford and Mike Miller…

Donovan might be attracted to “B” guys in the hope that, while working with an “A” work ethic, they’ll gain a sense of confidence in the process of working toward “A” talent.

Notice how he never goes after the Greg Odens or Michael Beasleys in a senior class. He prefers building a team to a centerpiece for an individual star, although he certainly has the clout to chase for a guy like that.

I’m a Rowdy Reptile three years running now.

I have to say that I was happy to see Speights go. I thought he was clueless on both side of the ball, a little lazy, and frankly, intimidated by any player close to his size.

But he was quite talented, no one doubts that.

Billy seems to thrive on kids with B grade talent and A grade work ethic. Speights was the opposite, that’s all i’m saying.
