someone who can actually change the game and perhaps even define it for his time. He's far from that even as a young player who is still finding his way. Perhaps he'll grow into it? Perhaps if he had gone to college one or two more years he would have entered the NBA with a bigger splash right from the beginning? Perhaps two or three more years under Cronin might have made a difference? We'll never know, but right now he is no where near the player he could be. Maybe he'll get there, maybe he won't? We'll see. But right now calling him a disappointment IMO isn't too far off. If everyone is being graded on their own curve and IMO Mara's curve is quite steep, then in that context I can see Mara viewed as a disappointment. If Mara is viewed as merely just another rookie then perhaps his numbers aren't bad.
