  • Durley Finds Motivation In Wichita

    WICHITA, Kan.--Motivation is a key component to the success of any athlete. Some athletes are motivated by the opportunity to play the game they love. Others are motivated by what is on the line in a particular game. One word motivates Jonathan Trenton (J.T.) Durley: Family.


    Who is this kid? Seems like he has done a complete 360 since the start of the season.

    It seemed like he was the only one that showed up last night

      I'd prefer a 180 to a 360... ;-)

          Sure JT has made some progress, but he hasn't made a 360. His post offense has improved a lot sice last seson, but he still throws up prayers when he should give the ball up and he still needs to keep his emotions under control;when he doesn't play well he doesn't hustle after rebounds and loose balls-that's what gets under my skin, essentially saso members are paying the players to go through college and play basketball and he doesn't want to play basketball sometimes. I understand he has been ill the last two games also.

          Please don't talk about players like they have turned into a superstar when they haven't.

                Just a quick little note of importance:

                360 degrees = a full turn

                180 degrees = turning half around

                ........

                  Did you watch Durley's effort last year compared to this year? I think anyone would agree it was more than 180.

                  I get your point....

                    I've felt quite critical of J.T. much of the time he has been here, but I for one am more than willing to give him a pat on the back for the improvements I've seen in the past half dozen or so games. No, he's not all the way there, but I'm sure pleased to see consistent effort from this young man and I'm more than willing to give him credit for those improvements and believe that if he can continue his improved attitide, he will be a much improved player the remainder of this year and a really good player in the two years to come.

                    I honestly hoped he would leave after last year. Now I'm happy I didn't get my wish.

                        I don't think you get it 02. 180 is the BEST turnaround you can make.

                              Thanks for wording it for me. When I read his reply, I was just kind of sitting here scratching my head wondering how to explain it.
