per the article:
Mbakwe seems to have grown up. Every sign points to it, every easy conversation and display of leadership, every infectious smile. But the next few months will be an audition of the greatest magnitude, and every player is prepped for it. Everyone has memorized his lines and his cues, when to smile and when to shrug and when to promise, swear, cross his heart and hope to die, that he's changed. "You really don't know," Barnes said of interviews with players. "You have to kind of trust your instinct."
And that's what Mbakwe's future will come down to. A gut feeling. An instinct. The talent is there, as is the maturity on the court. But what of the injuries and the accusations? What will they be worth when Mbakwe's fate is weighed? "Your margin is very slim," Taylor said, "if you're him."
