A Pair Of Items

Q: Rumor has it that Sidney Lowe makes knuckle children to Hickson. Do you think he unfairly favors him over other players?

A: If you asked a few of the players that question, they might say yes, but that’s their sense of entitlement talking. JJ Hickson has, from day one, proven himself to be the best player on the team; it’s rather hard to fault Lowe for inserting him into the starting lineup, that being the case. Hickson’s not been given anything he hasn’t earned–or that others haven’t relinquished. He plays hard and his off-court work ethic is outstanding. If anything, he should be getting more playing time.
