Patience is a virtue.
Not only is this idea true in life, but it’s also true when it comes to the NBA. Regardless of the potential they have, few players come into the NBA fully ready from day one. Player development in the NBA is a process, and it often takes a good bit of time. Even when someone does finally become a star, it’s sometimes a painful process to get there (see: Mike Conley). In the wisdom of Joel Embiid, it’s a process that you have to trust.
This is an important thing to remember for fans of the Memphis Grizzlies, especially those who want to give up on Wade Badwin and Jarell Martin.
