I always felt this guy was pretty underrated. The things he could do with the ball were pretty amazing. Anyone else think his career was underrated?

Well obviously he's on the downside of his career, but he was still a human highlight reel in his prime.

But just look how far he has carried Miami this year with Wade hurting . . .

During his sacremento days, he was probably one of the most exciting player in the league to watch.

Sunday Lakers/Kings match ups on nbc :(

That Airball against New York on Wednesday at the buzzer should tell you how much he has left ...

He was considered a top PG in the Kings anyway.

he was considered a revolutionary player with the basketball back in the SAC days. Pulled off that crossover on Gary Payton that no one had really seen in the NBA for a long time and brought back fancy dribbling/passing to the NBA.

i remember thinking, dam i wish Jwill played for the Heat back when he was in Sacramento, now i hate him..you could argue that he wasnt even an upgrade to Damon Jaones


maybe hell revive his career somewhere else..his knees are messed up, but the guy just doesnt look motivated after we won it all..he just doesnt care.

I think he saw this thread. He's got 32/7/4 vs. the Magic on 13-23 shooting. And he's rolled his right ankle twice in the game, and he's just kept playing.

Jwill is a tease, every year he has a stretch where he makes you say..damn, we should bring him back.

Watching this game i was thinking "dam he wouldnt be bad off the bench" but i wont be fooled this time, time to move on. (hes playing with a lot of hear today)

Yet somehow, while watching it, I was convinced he was terrible. He took shots without even looking at the rim. Thus is JWill.

His passes were fun to watch, since the Heat aren't going anywhere right now he should be doing passes like he did in Sacramento again.
