  Anybody know what went down with Mahorcic?
  
  I remembered being excited for him to come in, doesn’t seem like he was able to do much.

  From what I heard he became very disgruntled after his injury and all the losing.
  
  I was told he became very dismissive towards the Coaching staff and a Jackhole to his teammates.
  
  The last straw was the blowup during the Washington st game.
  
  I was also told this was not Smith setting the tone for culture sake. Dusan was not the sacrificial lamb for the betterment of the team down the road. He earned the suspension and dismissal

    What was the blowup during the Washington St. game? I was there and I didn’t see anything.

  Really unfortunate. He seemed to be the only one with a pair of balls on the court, so to speak.

    While I think he had good size, watching him at games he always seemed to be complaining. Whether it was a missed pass, or a bad defensive rotation, he was constantly getting after guys. And the problem wasn’t Mahorcic was a superstar with crappy teammates. For example, he would constantly beg to get the ball in the post and complain during timeouts when he didn’t, then just brick a shot when he finally did during the next series. I think we’ve all played ball before with someone who loves to point out mistakes others are making, but rarely criticizes themselves.
    
    That was my impression of watching Mahorcic in person for a few games.

  I was at the game and saw him really throw a fit. When you are his kind of fiery, you need to understand how to address coaches and team mates unless you are clearly the best player on the team. He clearly was not the GOAT and now it is obvious that he didn’t know how to engage verbally with his team. Hopefully this will be a building block to him becoming a better person.

    Often seemed to be playing angry and frustrated with a tendency to lose his composure which made him more of a liability than an asset.

  Had high hopes for him, but it sounds like overall, we’re better off w/out him.
