    I love Adelman's honesty and focus on winning. .

    Short summary on the SF situation:

    1. Courtney Lee is the starter.
    2. Patterson is the first SF off the bench.
    3. Adelman would not hesitate to put Harris into a game, but we are talking about short minutes.
    4. DeMarre Carroll did well in practice.
    5. Adelman is looking at practice as part of figuring out who might help in Budinger's absence.
    6. Feigan asked about whether Williams is in the plans, Adelman responded "No. No. Other people are playing better. Other people deserve to play."

    this makes no sense. everyone knows twill could become the next twill. it is well within the realm of possibillities that twill could reach an elite level and maybe even reach the level of twill's play. cain't he see dat, yo?

    Obviously TWill is in the dog house, or not putting in the effort in practice.

    It is obvious he is not putting in the effort otherwise he would be in the rotation.

    It really sucks knowing we gave up a 1st rounder for him.

    He has a lot of talent, but he just doesn't appear to have the mental makeup to make it. Times like these (desperate for wing help) should be where TWill gets a chance to prove himself; but obviously he hasn't shown anything in practice to warrant giving him a shot. I don't blame Adelman for this -- I've seen how 'well' TWill runs our offense in the limited time he does get.

    What a waste of a talent.

    So the line up is:
    PG: Lowry | Dragic
    SG: Martin | Lee | T-Will
    SF: Lee | PatPat | Harris | DeMarre
    PF: PatPat | Scola* | Hill
    C: Hayes | Miller

    * = Is Scola still injuried? If he is not playing against GSW then I move DeMarre into 3rd PF after Hill

    T-Will is a small forward, so you need to take him out of the SG row and put him at the back of the SF list behind the other four guys you have listed.

    Otherwise that looks about right.

    End of discussion, we don't see practices.
    And the worst part is that there are no SL nor Training Camp this next summer.
    Hard situation.

    I don't know what the hard situation is supposed to be.

    Adelman most likely won't be back, Morey obviously sees or at least saw something in T-Will and you won't get anyhthing for T-Will in a trade.

    We're just gonna have to be patient and treat him like a rookie next year.

    T-Will isn't just limited to SF, he actually can play all the wing position's(PG/SG/SF), standing at 6'6. He also has a good enough handle to give you some minutes at the point.

    I thought Williams was on the injury list. Anyway, I see no problem with Adelman making him earn his minutes.

    The second unit frontcourt of Patterson/Hill/Miller could be a serious force. That's a lot of size and rebounding presence off the bench. And I think Patterson has the speed to stay with most small forwards who are too big for Courtney Lee. If not, Harris is a pretty good option there, as well.

    Terrence is talented, Rick doesn't like his "the world owes me" attitude and although i believe he should be in the rotation, the coach knows more than i do.

    right now in the middle of a playoff push i don't see the point in experimenting with him, so i am happy to explore other options.

    If he stays a rocket next year, i believe he must play though.

    i feel sorry for t-will.

    had he got more minutes he would've had a chance to show that he's actually really good

    unfortunately, since his limits were so limited...his anxious/rushed approach to the game made it appear that he is not good enough.

    tough situation.

    i know a good player when i see one, and unfortunately he ran into a tough tough situation

    I think you're right, i mean lets be honest he had 2-3 games of about 15 minutes all up to show his game - you can't blame a guy for being rusty and forcing things when he hasn't played for so long and knows he will live and die by the next few games.

    I don't like his attitude but the potential is there

    Do you know a whinger who doesn't try when you see one?

    It would appear not (from your post)
