Delfino, obtained from Detroit in a summer trade, hasn't shown the attitude Mitchell wants in the only starting spot still up for grabs.


"(I) just want him to be more aggressive. At that three spot, you have to be aggressive. You don't have to be great," the coach said. "We all have limitations, as long as I know a guy's giving me the best he's got, I can accept the rest of it."

Too bad for him. If you don't get off to a good start with a new coach and team, you may really limit your chances.

He must've picked up all the bad habits from Pistons.

Mitchell hasn't heard about the "switch" yet.......it's still "off".

Re: Forward Delfino drops like a stone on the Toronto Raptors' depth chart

Mitchell has never been afraid to use the media to motivate a player.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock into this, not until Delfino's minutes start getting cut. Sam might just be trying to fire him up.

I would think that just playing the game and his salary would be enough motivation.

On the other hand maybe he is just bored. LOL

Re: Forward Delfino drops like a stone on the Toronto Raptors' depth chart

Delfino seems to be a very unselfish player. At this point, he should probably get a little more agressive with his own game. Drive more and rebound harder.

Maybe he just doesn't have that "game" that everyone is talking about.

That would be another possible explanation.
