The NBA is full of great athletes. From Russell Westbrook to Anthony Davis, a quick look around at any position will allow any fan to see just how incredible NBA athletes are. Yet sometimes the best athletes at each position aren’t superstars because they don’t have the skills to allow that athleticism to translate to production on the floor. That is the case for Alonzo Gee, the new wing for the New Orleans Pelicans.
What allows Gee to remain a useful NBA player despite his lack of skills is more than just his athleticism though.
