    One thing is for sure. Novak ('er wiltjer) makes that game winning three that Gordon missed to extend the streak to 11 on the way to 22

    Am I right?!

    He is a rookie.

    At the same time, we didn't sign him for his defensive prowess.

    WIljter should see time as an Anderson backup, give him 5-10 mins of PT so we always have a stretch 4 on the floor. In big games where Anderson is ice cold bringing Wiltjer would also be an option. I don't think having Wiltjer and Anderson in at the same time would work, we would have no rebounding and get dunked on every single play.

    It's hard to play anyone in the NBA who is that big a defensive liability. No one said he has to be a defensive stopper but he has to have some level of competence and ability. He hasn't had a lot of minutes but tonight he looked abysmal on the defensive end.

    Dekker, Harrell have been gettin time on the court and have produced... might as well unleash Kyle.

    Esp if it means less mins for Brew. The guy tried so hard vs the crappy Suns and still couldn't do anything productive. Even resorted to fouling cuz he couldn't hang

    I saw Wiltjer at whole foods a few days ago and I went up to introduce myself and I told him i wish he would get some PT. We exchange a few words and then I told him I'd see him at the Spurs game on Wed and he said "Alright *****"

    If you don't get dunked on, you ain't trying.

    Kyle Wiltjer came in for 2 minutes of garbage time and got YAMMED on.

    He prob looked at Mike D'Antoni like, "Y U DO DIS?"

    Can Wiltjer tutor Anderson on how to execute a turnaround fadeaway?

    Actually, it was KJ McDaniels who allowed that dunk to happen.

    I wonder if Wiltjer will shoot a higher percentage than Anderson if he get the chance to play alongside Harden.

    My guess is yes.
