I find it humorous when people state someone is not performing the way they need to be and all of a sudden it must be bashing. Why? When you go into an eating establishment, we call those restaurants, how many entrees do you eat? One perhaps. Does this mean you are bashing all the rest? The proof is in the pudding and right now Willie's pudding is still in the mix cycle. Last night was a perfect example, for Willie took one shot from more than five feet. The question is, is Willie a center, is he a power foward, is he a small foward. The answer is a resounding no for he is a guard and guards are "required" to score away from the basket, especially in the NBA. Some college critiques had him as player of the year. Now there are over 200 division one teams with at least 10 players per team and to think that he is the best of the bunch, in excess of 2000 players, is absurd to put it mildly. For those that want to believe he is a lottery pick so be it, but what skills does he bring to the pro level that isn't already there? What team has guards who don't shoot the ball from the outside with ease and with defenders in their face?
