Some Minny hoops blogger compared Williams to a good boxer who was caught between two weight classes. Comparison is even more apt since he's tried to slim down to play 3, when really he should be beefing up to be a really athletic 4.

yeah theres no way he has the skills to play the 3, his only hope is as a stretch 4

Eh, his shot isn't good enough to be stretch-4. He should just beef the fuck up and start learning a Karl Malone game. Either way he needs to not be playing for Minny.

Hahaha George Hill very close to picking up a second technical by egging on the Indy crowd to cheer for the foul called against Minny.

I'm kind of shocked at how awful the Bucks are right now. That's good news for fans like me who are just in it for A) high draft picks and B) cheap tickets

they're really bad, worse than they should be, but they've had a ton of injuries.

Derrick is the classic tweener but he shot so well his last year in college that everyone thought it would be fine. The shooting just hasn't been good enough.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 02:09 (ten years ago) link
it doesn't help matters that he was drafted into a terrible situation because his GM didn't understand how positions in basketball work.

It's impossible to look at Williams' frame and not think PF-- he's built like a David West who can run the floor very effectively. Hope he goes somewhere that puts a lot of time and effort erasing everything he's been told for the past two years and starts rebuilding him as a floor-running PF.

looking back at lebron's career numbers his resistance to injury is really a marvelous anomaly, he was playing 42+ minutes a game some of those years in cleveland

It’s common practice that after every game each player is provided a scoresheet. The sheet breaks down the individual players’ contributions as well as team totals.That won’t be happening anymore in Toronto. Rudy Gay has put a stop to it.Gay sees the scoresheets as an unnecessary barrier to team unity or even a temptation to be more focussed on what is best for the individual as opposed to what is best for the team.“We’re not playing for stats,” Gay said.Gay said there was no incident or no moment that pushed him toward this decision but as a leader on this team, he felt it was just something that was best for the team.“I wanted to just nip it in the butt before it became an issue,” he said. “We come in here after losses, after wins and people are staring at those stat sheets, but that’s not what we’re about. We’re a team and the stat that matters is the W.”

Man never knew this about Wade
No wonder
Dwyane Wade, after all, has been where Rose is—not just literally, as a fellow product of the Chicago area, but also figuratively, as an involuntary veteran of knee ailments.So, after resting his knees for a week—and before scoring 27 points and defending dynamically down the stretch in a 101-99 win against the Magic—Wade was asked to recall his own experience with a torn meniscus, at a time he was trying to make his way at Marquette."It was 13 years ago, so technology was a little different," Wade said. "When it was taken out, it was the thing to get me back on the court quick, but it wasn't a long-term type of thing, so it opened me up to having some knee trouble. The only thing you do, the doctor that you choose, they give you the best advice."Did Wade have any say in the decision to take it out rather than repair it?"No, I wasn't educated, I didn't know anything," Wade said. "I just knew it was hurting, and I wanted it fixed. That was after my first year at Marquette, and I never dealt with any injury until that time. So it was all new to me. And I just wanted to get back on the court."
