Ran into WCS when I was in Vegas over the weekend at Shake Shack. He was pretty chill. Talked to him about if he was excited to play with Cousins. Seemed more eager to get some girls numbers though, haha.
He's going to be a great player and it was a perfect draft pick by them. Divac has been doing very well. The media ridicule of him has been embarrassing- for the media.
I have no problem with the WCS pick. But that trade with the Sixers was abominable. Ask the Nets how trading first round picks and offering pick swaps worked out for them. People here have been critical of the Lin to LA trade, but this trade was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse. They traded to clear cap room and then didn't manage to sign anybody worth having with that cap room. And I think there is a fair chance that by the time the Sixers get to the pick swaps, Sacramento could be worse than them. I have very little faith that Cousins won't demand a trade at some point.
Decent backup center. When Sacramento goes in the tank I fully expect Daryl to take a long look. Harden would really do wonders for Sweet Dick Willy...
This. PNR roll would be interesting as WCS was a pretty good wide receiver in high school so he'd have some good hands.
I'm watching the Kings v Portland right now. WCS looked terrible. I was very high on him in college with his combination of size, quickness and defensive instincts. None of that translated in the 10 or so minutes he was out there. He got pushed around, looked disinterested on offense and didnt grab any rebounds. I think there is a reason he is stuck behind Koufos as the 3rd Center. Rudy Gay on the other hand looked awesome. I think he would be great as a bench scorer we could run the offense through while Harden rests. Granted his play style is very different from what we run typically, with him mainly posting up wings or taking bigs off of the dribble. What I did like a lot about his game was how under control he is when making his moves and how is able to draw a lot of fouls when facing a mismatch. He is a low turnover guy for someone who uses the amount of possessions he does. I'd love to have him a a change of pace to just slow game down and allow us to tread water in the second quarter and early part of the 4th.
That wasn't only one time. That's how he usually plays. I think Capela is stronger than him. Only WCS also is older and his work ethic is ...doubtful.
