Where do you put the blame, T-Will or Rockets organization ?

So you believe he should dictate to the coach who should play?

 

Terrence Williams needs to watch this video.

Chandler Parsons? as in CP breaking out and taking the starting 3 position

Remember in the preseason, McHale challenging TWill to own being a defensive stopper. I think coaches planned on using TWill more as a defender which would give him PT. But when CP showed he could defend, CBud and CLee became the guys off the bench, and crowded out TWill for any PT.

It sucks for TWill, no fault of his. And you can't fault the coaches for trying to win. FO can remedy this by trading TWill to another team where he can have PT. But TWill needs to start from the bottom again. He messed up while in NJ because he already was being given PT. Now he knows it's not all due to skill, being at the right place at the right time has a lot to do with shining in the NBA. If you can get coaches and a team that needs your particular skillset ...

 

He couldn't get off the bench at New Jersey. He couldn't get off the bench under Rick Adelman. He couldn't get off the bench with Kevin McHale.

It's T-Will.

 

Saw this on NBADraft.net



Three guys named Terrence in the Rockets roster by next season? :grin:

 

I don't bother to blame either. The Rockets took a chance on a guy with some serious potential, but it didn't work out, and we aren't going to play a guy if he isn't getting it done. Most of us don't know whether it is his performance, his IQ, or whatever else. We have to trust the coach and front office that they're doing what's in the best interest of the organization. Squid was a high risk-high reward...we gambled and lost. Placeblame wherever you want, but people would complain either way. Either because we didn't give him minutes, we played him and he's no good, or that we weren't aggressive enough to make moves to imProve the team. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

 

You can't blame the ORG for going for TALENT alone.....
We went for undersized blue collar worker most of the time.

Twill is an idiot

 

Greg smith and Jeff Adrien both came from the d league and got minutes. Parsons is a second round rookie starting for the rockets. ****ing starting. If they all get minutes and he can't, there is a reason for it and I would say the blame is squarely on him.

 

before this season i bet the rockets projected him, at the very least, to play back up sf if he couldnt outplay budinger. i dont think they predicted that their second round pick was going to play this well. and getting outplayed by two second round picks when you were a lottery pick is just sad

 

Twill, Parsons & Budinger are completely different players...Budinger didn't really outplay Twill to start the season...I say they were about even in their contribution...the reason Budinger got the nod over Twill is because he brings something the team needs more then what Twill brings and that's a jump shooter that will spread the floor...Parson got minutes over both because he plays better defensively and is 6 '8 w/long arms...

Rockets don't really need another Distributor/Scorer..and that's what Twill would of brought to the game...they have Lowry, Dragic, Martin & Lee for that...Twill was simply the odd man out..but that doesn't mean Twill is a bad player..it's just what he bring is as need compared to the other players...Put Twill on the right team...i'm sure he'll thrive.

 

I don't know how talented he is...but I'd like to know. Why make the investment of a first round pick if you're never going to play the guy? More problems with pretending to be a contender while in the midst of rebuilding. If we spent a first round pick on a guy that can't get off the bench, who is to blame for that?

 

Amen to that. There is a reason Nets let him go and isn't a high value trade asset. I believe the Rocks had patience with him to keep him because he is talented, but isn't a very smart player, or team player. If Rocks had a significant injury to their players, it would allowed TWill to play, same with Thabeet. Hasim The Dream?!?!?!? He hasn't done anything and names himself after the greatest player. Other empty heads include Vernon Maxwell, I'm sure some of us know who he is. Jordan said NBA is not about talent, but it is about having the mentality.

 

When are they not? Youtube comments are better than newspaper fan comments.

This.
It was a bad move, which is a shame because Williams clearly had the potential. Oh well.

 

If we have a Vernon Maxwell sitting on the bench right now and not getting playing time, I'm going to be pissed off.

 

Rockets organisation more because we knew the 2012 draft was going to be deep, we knew Terrence Williams was not going to beat Martin & Lee, Twill was never a hard worker unlike some claim here he was known for, was sent down to the d-league for crying out loud and we didn't even need him at that time.
If we had traded Martin now then you could argue for trading another guy for Twill to take him off the Nets hand but a 1st round pick ??

This does not however mean Twill is a victim or anything. He is a whiny manchild with the ego the size of his lips and feels everything should be given to him. When Wafer can get playing time and you can't, that should tell the story.

 

T-Will steals the damn ball from his own teammates (Dragic). Who does that? The guy is about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.

 

Von Wafer got playing time because he was needed..Tmac was injured..and he filled a void...T-Will isn't really needed..Rockets have other players that do what Twill does...Lee, Dragic, Lowry,Martin...the trade made zero sense...This is what happens when you trade for a player without a plan..Twill is talented but he needs to be in a system that maximizes his talent and goes to a team without a glut of guards.

 

Teen Wolf did it. And that guy was a champion.

 

The Rockets gave up a low 1st to get Williams and got a low 1st to take on Thabeet.

Neither of them were investments, they were comparable to scrubs we picked off the waiver wire.

 

He didn't get it under Avery Johnson either.
