Mo Bamba is a super smart kid and has great physical tools. That being said he has no desire to physically work hard. Sometimes sports are not for everybody.

Refusing to work out for teams before the draft wasn't very smart! From his actions he appears to be quite dumb!

I remember right around the draft watching a video where JJJ and Bamba worked out with KG and JJJ impressed the hell out of KG and you could see he was locked in and motivated and Bamba had more attitude and didn't seem to have that same fire. Here we are 6 seasons later and that initial impression looks very valid. Grizzlies got the right guy.

But, this video points it out so well...That passion, that drive, that dog just doesn't seem to be in him.
