How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

I'm not ready to start thinking of giving up on either one just yet.

See, to me this isn't a positive. He "thinks his future is bright," but he's not sure (no one really is sure at this point I guess). Then he says "if he stays focused," which means he hasn't been focused prior, and if he "just lets me talk to him a little more," which means Thomas wasn't previously very receptive of Santana's advice. This is pretty far from a glowing endorsement IMO.
