"He’s really smart, so much that I wonder if he really loves basketball, or if has so many other interests."

I can't believe they actually wrote that.

THIS was the most salient complaint to me: "I’ve heard complaints from his coaches at every level about his work habits." If true (and I don't know why it wouldn't be) that would explain a lot.

There's a video of Coach Mora saying similar things about Josh Rosen.  It's definitely cringeworthy when a high-profile coach makes those kinds of comments about an athlete.
