One other thing that is different from College is that you are playing 82 
games
and 48 minutes.  I always thought it looked like Nick dogged it at times, and 

they all do it.  They have to for foul and fatigue reasons.  But I think that 

Kenyon is smarter and if he can not get to a rebound he does not jump and 
try.  You might think that this is being lazy while someone else sees it as
a smart move to conserve gas.  He is also bringing his man away from the 
hoop if he is outside.

Now Antoine Walker, he does it to build his fat reserve for the off season
in case McDonalds runs out of beef ;-)  He is not going to vacation at the
same beach  this year, because he had a bad problem with the locals 
trying to push him back in the water since they thought he had beached 
himself last year...
