Everything I've heard about his attitude is he is driven and has a high compete level. He works out hard, wants to get back into the defensive play and is looking to improve his game. By all accounts he seems to have a positive attitude.
Don't mistake a lack of confidence with a a low compete level. He isn't aggressive, but it's not because he's lazy it's because he's not use to that play style. And now he's often tasked with going up against 20-some physically stronger players in a much more competitive league, it's going to take some adjustment.
Here's a quote from his coach:

Quote:
“The number one thing is he needs is strength,” Leaman said.
“With strength comes confidence. He might not get leaned on as much. He’ll win more battles.”

That's about as detrimental quote as I've heard regarding his attitude, low confidence. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he isn't driven but I just never heard that from anyone but anonymous posters on messageboards.
