Kings @ Wolves

If every game we played was in Minnesota D-Will would be considered a good player, smh. Where is this effort every night?

That's what we asked for 2+ seasons.

I'm curious as to what you have to say about Luc Mbah a Moute.

[C.lupus]

Adelman's rotations are so screwy it's hard to say anything about Mbah a Moute because he gets really erratic minutes. He doesn't play at all some games, may get garbage minutes other games, and may get major reserve minutes other games. Adelman does the same thing with Shabazz (didn't play at all last night after scoring 20 last week against PHX) and Dieng (looked really good last night and probably won't play against Dallas).

That said, Luc's offense looks pretty terrible with lots of dropped passes and missed bunnies but he seems solid on defense. He'd look better with regular minutes, I think. I would actually like to see him as a starter at SF and move Brewer to the bench as an energy guy. Love, Pek, and Martin bring enough firepower and having a solid defender on the wings would be nice.


btw, I wasn't trying to be critical of DWill. I like him a lot and wish him well. The consistent effort is the problem he had in Minny, though, and the reason he got traded.

Understand. I was just curious because it 'appears' as though DWill has had a larger impact on our team than Luc has had for yours. That being said, I agree about the inconsistency of his production. After seeing the highlights of this game, I'm amazed at the athleticism and skill that he has. Like others I am wondering why he tends to keep that part of his game bottled up. This kind of inconsistency I believe has more to do with mental issues involving not knowing 'how' to bring it to the court every night. This can snowball and start to affect a player's general confidence. A problem I also believe is affecting McLemore's game.

DWill has been in the same role as he was in Minny since the Gay trade. Surprise, surprise he's playing the same way? Uh, no. Look at the Lakers game, look at this game. Look at the stretch he had in Minny when Love was out. This isn't a coincidence. He can be a solid scorer/producer on the right team and in the right role. This is no longer it by the looks of it.

Still want to see him get the PF gig just to see if they can squeeze out some production and up that trade value.
