    2009 Lottery Draft Pick with high potential to be an all star and 3 years later and he is playing in China... He has an NBA body with NBA athleticism but immature, doesn't listen to his coaches, and continues to believe he's a star... He is pathetic. I actually had high hopes for him when he was first drafted but he is just an idiot.

    I don't think its about the skills that he have but more of an NBA body and athleticism but his skill isn't all that great. His athleticism made it seem like he is talented.

    Twill doesn't really have a jumpshot, his ball handling skills is below average (when he tries to do a cross over or make a move off the dribble, he seem to have a hard time getting around defenders or stumble the ball), his first step is average and he has no fundamental skills at all and no post game.

    So with Twill, all he has is athleticism and an NBA body with limited skills, immaturity, a headcase. He is indeed fast on the break but that's about it. He isn't quick enough to be a SG, has the size to be a SF but wants to be a PG where his distributing is below average..

    His jumper actually improved, while he was here. He could get by the majority of defenders, if he made a quick move. It was when he went Franchise on them where he'd lose the ball. He also had pretty good court vision and could rebound. He wasn't great at anything, but he was decent at everything, at least.

    You're forgetting one thing - and that's that T-Will was an AWFUL finisher. It doesn't matter if you can get by your defender if you can't do anything once you're at the rim.

    He had a pull up J, could pass off....i agree he'd be limited, if he can't finish at the rim, but there's enough skill there to claim a spot in this league....just not enough mentally, i guess.
