There are legit reasons for concern about Pope.
But agree that his personality, and just who he is, seems to rub some the wrong way, and there's not much he could do at this point to change their minds.
He picked it up later in the game ... which I also noticed often his high school games at Rainier Beach (there's a bunch of them online). Looked like he coasted a lot, and cranked up the effort when needed.
This ... we had 3 PG's on Pope's first 2 teams with no injury history (that I'm aware of) at least in college (Butler, Krisa, Lowe) who got injured. What are we even talking about here?
