thats just because he wasnt palying. once he started playing, he started enjoying himself more. but to tell you the truth, I think we have seen the player jrich is (a highlight real comparable to but not nearly as good all around as dominique wilkins). he plays poor defense, cannot dribble and is a very inconsistant shooter.
now thats not to say that pietrus will be any better, but with jrich's contract year coming up, they have to at least think about trading him
