It is sad to experience the end of the Lakers’ season but the reality is that their athleticism, defense, rebounding and interior offense were not up to championship standards.

Their athleticism, talent and ability to perform well in pressure situations have helped the Braves win close game after close game.

"Grace has ability, athleticism, and an incredible willingness to learn. Everyone talks about it," says Shillingford.

His size, athleticism and position versatility make him an ideal long-term option on a defensive line that signed free agents Naquan Jones and Da’Shawn Hand to one-year deals.

He also won one of the annual quarterback awards, but some feel he holds on to the ball too long and have questioned his arm strength and athleticism.
