This is savvy.
Guess we'll be acquiring a starting SF through trade afterall
I’m ready for that Willie - Oubre swap. Willie could get time on a winning team and hopefully get groomed by Dwight (lol that sounds weird).
Lol
The willie thing is so frustrating. It's obvious the talent is there but he just seems so uninterested on the court.
i know these guys making millions should be self motivated but has he ever played under or alongside someone who actually pushes him and tries to turn him into a tougher player? Boogie was far from a leader so it wasn't him. He's never really had a disciplinarian head coach since he's been here. Maybe ZBo but at his age who knows how impactful his word is. The last guy to ride him may have been Coach Cal, and at Kentucky he was a great defender and a really good shot-blocker. Makes you think...what if the Kings had a KG type to mentor him earlier in his career.
A stunning stat i looked up recently. Willie's played 3 years, 214 games and he's had 1 technical and 0 flagrants! Not exactly numbers you like from your "imposing rim protector". Harry Giles just picked up at least 4 techs...IN SUMMER LEAGUE! I can't even remember Willie being mad during a game. Just seems like he goes through the motions out there. If it wasn't for the way he looks (tattoos/piercings/crazy hair/crazy outfits) he may be known as the softest player in the league. Could you imagine the criticism he would get if he played in a city with a much larger media presence? (ny/chi/la)
