Let's grade our players, and offer some comments.

L. Barbosa --> B+ : consistent & effective

A. Bargnani --> B : mark will be higher next semester, we hope

J. Calderon --> B : reliable & hard-working; not likely to improve his mark

J. Bayless --> C+ : patience needed; increased signs of maturity

J. Johnson --> C+ : strong without the ball; weak with it

E. Davis --> C : a gamer who's slowly figuring it out; not the most gifted athlete, & tends to panic

L. Kleiza --> C- : 1 good game, 3 bad ones; good candidate for transfer to another school

D. DeRozan --> C- : chews up the minutes, but shooting woes are serious drawback

A. Johnson --> D : backsliding; is his head fully in the game?

A. Gray --> D : the epitome of a backup centre; below average in all skills

G. Forbes --> D- : needs a LOT of remedial work

A. Carter --> D- : presumably a good locker-room guy, 'cause he's not a good court guy

R. Butler --> F : "spirit willing but flesh weak"; time to leave school

J. Magloire --> F : sleeping in the back of the class consistently; why is he here?

S. Alabi --> inc. : no data on which to base a grade
