Who are these guys to criticize Willie? Put their accomplishments next to what he has done.

That is one way of looking at it.
The other would be "look at how many millions of dollars Willie cost himself by being lazy in college."

The thing i noticed was James Anderson in the 2nd round or late first...
if you go by the Sports Animal he has surpassed WW and a top 10 pick...

Then apparently you have never watched on OU Basketball game this year.
Honestly, I'm beginning to think it's not that WW is lazy, but rather he lacks any ability to properly process and deal with adversity. Once things stop going his way he immediately becomes the "victim" and his body language and on-court demeanor become terrible giving the appearance, among other things, that's he's "lazy" or "doesn't care".
During that turnover spree in Monday's 2nd half I saw the pouting, whining and dejectedness in Willie that I've seen in other immature athletes my entire life playing competitive sports. It's weird to see it on the collegiate level but obviously Willie's talent and athleticsm have always been more than enough to carry him. My guess is we didn't see it last year because what little adversity we faced was shouldered by the Griffin brothers.
This isn't a defense of Willie because ultimately we are all responsible for our own actions, but I really think this is where Capel has to earn the big bucks and understand how to manage the situation. He did the right thing Monday when he pulled Willie, not to punish him, but to let him regroup on the bench away from the pressure of the game which he was obviously wilting under. I thought aside from a few bonehead plays Willie was far more focused and under control once he came back in.

Anderson's health will keep him from being a good high pick.

This comment is a joke, right?
That it is, but it was intended to poke fun at the poster who originated it.

I wouldn't put alot of stock in the mock draft. I do believe Warren's stock has fallen and may fall more. I think he's got to clean up his ballhandling towards the basket and become a more consistent shooter. But neither of these drafts have Elias Harris from Gonzaga on there and that kids is a lotto pick.
