    You think a rookie that WILL be made to play 3 is going to be better than T-Will is already?

    Your hatred is showing.

    Yeah, but I think we have less uncertainty around those two. T-Will is by far the highest beta we have on the team in terms of potential performance. I would not be shocked to see him tear it up, by the same token, if he was released that wouldn't shock me either.

    Ive come to the opinion of giving him his 25-30 minutes a game for an extended time. See what he does with them. If he continues to be unproductive and disruptive, we get a better draft pick. If he is stellar, who knows?

    He's up against might competition in the wings: Morris, Budinger, Martin, Lee. If he's was really progressing nicely, the Pau Gasol trade sense.

    I like his superstar mentality and I think he has been humbled and will breakout this year. I see him as the best player on our team (in terms of potential).

    I really don't hate a future with Lowry, Lee, Twill and D-Mo.

    He definitely has an account here or reads because of his last tweet.

    You guys just lit a fire in him.
    He's going to play angry now.
    Blessing in disguise!

    Hope he gets solid minutes, most likely off the bench at first. I think he would thrive playing with dragic lee and pat if he played within the offense and used his athleticism and natural talent. Don't see why he wouldn't potentially challenge bud for the starting spot ( or Morris if hes ready ).

    If he just developed a solid, reliable mid range jumper, he would be near unstoppable. Especially of he had respectable 3 range

    Whats with all the Morris d¨¨¨-riding, the guy hasn't even logged in one single second in the NBA and everyone is saying that T Will needs to out-play him?

    Bet you he'll go win some games for the Vipers before he comes to the big leagues.

    Unless of course we aren't in the "win-now" mode anymore.

    This guy is both a blessing in the sky and a pie in disguise rolled into one.

    72% have breaking into the lineup or starting, when the guy has been less than stellar in 2 years in the league.

    Might he make it, sure? Actually, it will depend upon the system, he still has no clue how to play OFF the ball.....

    He has to be able to shoot the ball effectively or players will lay off of him and force him to shoot jumpers.

    We need a Lowry like improvement this year....
