I guess Shaka was just dumb leaving Lewis in those dozens - or was it hundreds - of times that Justin was disinterested. Maybe the coach was disinterested too? Or maybe he actually was very interested in winning, knew Lewis wasn’t lazy, and didn’t bench him as he repeatedly had benched others.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I never once thought Justin was lazy. I saw him frustrated, but never thought 'lazy'.
Bulls fans seem to be digging this pickup. I agree with them.
If O-Max ever hesitates out of frustration for even half a second after missing a shot or committing a turnover, some of the same O-Max fans will be calling him lazy.
The last Marquette guy that started out with the Bulls did alright.I am starting to think the two-way from the Bulls was the guarantee. Donovan is tight with Shaka and the Bulls didn't have a second round pick. Tell JL if you fall, we'll give you a shot and Chicago ends up with a guy all the scouts had as a 40-50 talent. It's not ideal, but it certainly could be worse for him. And no guarantee his stock improves if he comes back. For every Ochai Agbaji, there's two Max Abmus and Johnny Juzangs.
did one of your grand kids hack your computer or is your blood sugar running a little high-geez, any argument or disagreement is met with comments you load up to just try to shut people down. let go and let...umm, let...nevermind
Shaka wasn't dumb. He's like every other coach in the country, the star player gets more leash than the other players on the team. A star player doesn't give his full attention or intensity on a possession, he stays in the game. A bench player does the same things and he gets the hook. A star having a bad night is often still better than a bench player having a good night, it's just common sense.I do think calling Justin lazy is well lazy. Part of basketball is mental toughness. The ability to keep up focus and attention though ~140 possessions of basketball is not a natural skill that every player has. It's something that needs to be developed, just like any other basketball skill. A lot of young players struggle with this, like a lot of young (and even older people too!) people struggle with it in the classroom or the workplace. I think that was a legitimate concern with Lewis last season. Doesn't mean he's lazy or doesn't care, just that it is a weak point of his game right now and he needs to work on it.
82Not that it matters, but I would say I noticed Lewis being lazy maybe 10-15 times +/- a few. The first Creighton game it was mentioned 2-4 by the announcer and it was obvious to anyone that is being honest, IMO. Now, if you never noticed it or think it was no big deal, I am fine with that. Not going to argue or point out why the coach is stupid, lazy or any other craziness you can think of. Always an extreme with you these days.
Did any of us here think Lewis was a lazy player? I did not.
https://theathletic.com/3381724/2022/06/24/nba-draft-2022-surprises-value-picks/Vecenie had Justin as his top player not drafted.I'm curious. On the people that believe he dropped because of body language or "laziness"? How do you explain PBJ getting drafted in the first round?
I watched the whole draft. It seemed to me once you go past the first 45 picks teams were more interested in drafting young foreign players than they were in drafting college players.
