If you asked me who I prefer back next year between the two I would say if what has been said about X is true, I'd prefer Svoboda. That doesn't change the facts, I live in reality.
First of all, don’t project hatred on my part. I don’t hate X. I just see him as a quitter who put his own self interest above that of his teammates.

I never said I hate him for it. I have coached, and guys like X are not all that unusual. But they are a cancer on a team that undermines the chances of winning in ways that cannot be measured in baskets and rebounds. That is the reality.

Did X hit a couple of shots that contributed to a win? Possibly. But Svoboda apparently did what was asked and contributed in practice. He certainly did not diminish the culture and atmosphere in the way that X seems to have done. Might have made his teammates better, and didn’t seem to have been a distraction for them in the way his counterpart seems to have been.

You accuse me of living outside of reality. When in reality, I am just looking at the bigger picture you have ignored. Wins and losses result from more than in game statistics. To think otherwise is shortsighted on your part.

I am not loooking at Matej through rose colored glasses. He brought little to the table, and was a disappointment in light of what was expected. But all in all, considering X’s selfishness and disruption, along with a handful of rebounds and a few made baskets, juxtaposed with Matej’s unimpressive stat line, and hard work while supporting his teammates, I contend Svaboda did more to contribute to wins.
