He lost confidence his rookie season because he HAD to play once cornerstone gordon went down. He was garbage and not ready, his rookie year was atrocious. If he had gotten less minutes, been given a smaller role, his confidence would have grown over time, and he would have developed better. Lucky for us the kid didn't lose his confidence after being called the worst rookie in nba history by the national media and came back stronger and better last year, but he still isn't there yet, he isn't that good. Better? yea.
This thread is just wrong
