The Curious Case of Terrence Williams 

Post#1 » by 76ciology » Wed Dec 15, 2010 11:04 am

I don't know why he's been hot on the waiver wire since the news of him going to the Rockets broke out. I think he's in a much lesser fantasy friendly environment in Houston than in the Nets, with him playing behind K-mart, Battier, Budinger and Courtney Lee.

With this said, do you guys agree that he should be dropped rather than to be picked up, which is the more popular decision so far?
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Well, here's the rationale for picking him up:

- Houston gave up a first to pick him up, so clearly they have interest in him and are planning to give him minutes
- K-Mart and Lee are SGs
- Battier is old, and Budinger is not bad but IMO looks like he'll be a career role player

All this is better than the cluster**** that is the Nets.

Terrence Williams is much more of a SG than he is a SF (and it's not even close). Hell he's more of a PG than he is a SG... I expect Houston will find this out the hard way though.

this is a classic Daryl Morey buy low trade. Morey will never force Coach Adelman to play anyone in the rotation. The GMs job is to acquire talent. THe coach job is to play guys that will help him win. Just because they got him doesn't mean they'll play him.

Wait for the inevitable Kevin Martin injury then pick him up. Only then will he have fantasy value. Honestly as a Rocket fan, i wouldn't be surprised to see him go to the Dleague or keep racking up DNPs on the bench.

I was hoping that Terrence Williams and Anthony Randolph would put me over the top in my Fantasy Keeper league this season - but I have been shafted by both.

T-Will is stashed on my bench for at least another four weeks at a bare min. If he isn't seeing action come January, shipping him to the waiver wire. I can afford to stash him for awhile (knock on wood).
