What makes you believe PWill is the face of the Bulls in 3 years.meekrab wrote:Stratmaster wrote:Working on his vocal leadership?Risk Addict wrote:Per video Pat is working on his vocal leadership this summer. I hope that he is focusing on offensive awareness and picking apart the defense by either making the right pass or being aggressive when the play breaks or the shot clock is low. I feel like those are important leadership skills. He can’t be a passive 3D type player with his relative skill here in SL and be a good leader, IMHO
What kind of PR BS is that? He is a 20 year old 2nd year 5th wheel who was virtually invisible on the court playing below replacement player level as a rookie.
They don't need him vocally leading anyone. They need him listening. And they need him working on things like when to cut to the basket, quicker and better shot decisions, his outside jumper etc.
Basic NBA basketball skills we would expect a 19 year old to struggle with.
"Vocal leadership" my ass
He's got more minutes played in the NBA than the guys who have 3 years of experience. He should be the leader of the summer league team. That doesn't stop him also working on mechanical basketball skills, but he should also definitely be working on leadership skill. In 3 years he's going to be the face of the Bulls, or packaged in a trade to somewhere else.
From last season I have no way of knowing if he is going to even be a high level starting player. You think he will be better than Zach? Or do you think Zach is leaving?
If he is the face of the Bulls in 3 years, right now I would have to say the Bulls have a really bleak future. Lauri had a better rookie year than Pat did.
I hope I am wrong and he becomes an all star. I just don't understand what anyone has seen that would make them think we have a superstar in the making.
