One of the more interesting things about Francisco Garcia's evolution as an NBA player is that he still hasn't evolved as an NBA player. He doesn't have a clue about his true identity.

I, for one, look forward to watching Garcia's on-court development. He's exciting--and a terror--to watch. Good Cisco, bad Cisco. Somebody ought to do his astrological chart--I bet that Gemini and Libra are dominant in his chart.


A blurb from the article and url below:


Sink open jumpers. Hoist off-balance leaners. Commit costly turnovers. Thread nifty passes. Make wise decisions. Make poor decisions. There is the good, and then there is the oh-so-"Cisco" sequence. One of this season's repeated transgressions occurs when he grabs a rebound and meanders downcourt, barely avoiding a midcourt clock violation. Theus, who isn't calling as many isolation plays of late, can be seen standing on the sideline, screaming at García to "push the ball" – and move the ball.

And so it seems, contrary to what the blathering Grant would like us to believe, Francisco Garcia ISN'T the courtsavvy veteran... at least not yet.

Voisin is saying exactly what most of us have been saying here. The frustration level with Garcia is equal to or might even exceed that reached in the days of early Jason Williams when a bullet pass behind the back could reach a cutting Webber for a glorious dunk OR could hit a fan's beer in the fourth or fifth row.

I like Cisco. I like his heart, his hustle, his eagerness. But he's like a Labrador puppy I had once upon a time. The dog would do anything I wanted - for very short periods of time. Then he'd be jumping around, knocking over the furniture, waiting for me to tell him what else to do. And he had the occasional accident on the floor as he did so.

Someone needs to get through to Cisco - to get him to play within the game and get him to understand that this is the big time. This is the NBA, not NCAA. As much as his antics can thrill at times, they also can exasperate.

Nice article by Voisin, BTW. And I may have to look again but I don't think she mentioned rippling biceps once.

;)
 
Yeah, but, but ... I always thought that hitting a beer out of the hands of a guy in the fourth row was just as exciting as the pass to CWebb. :)

On a better team, Cisco will either be the highly valued sixth man or slide further back down the bench and I'm afraid most of it is up to him. I note that Reggie has some advice for Cisco and seems to understand his problem. There's hope.
