Rick Adelman pretty much says Derrick Williams sucks

[Mediocre Man]

LOL if Olshey asks permission to speak to Rick or TP for that matter

Mis-leading thread title. Adelman just said what Williams needed to work on to be an effective 3 in the league. Nothing wrong with that.

Right ... which is what "pretty much sucks" implies.

Uh, not really.

Uh, not really.

Poeple read (and watch) about players and then fit it into what they want to believe.

Apparently Williams is shining in SL:

Derrick Williams, F, Minnesota: Last season’s second overall pick looks like he has a far more polished offensive game than he displayed as a rookie. Williams was one of the players whose season was affected the most by the lockout as he wasn’t given the opportunity to get comfortable through the summer league and training camp experiences. As the leader of Minnesota’s summer league team, Williams has displayed more focus in the halfcourt to add to his excellent abilities in transition. He looks more athletic than he did last season and appears more capable than before of being a full-time small forward. If he can continue to display this type of penetrating ability, Minnesota will flourish having him next to Kevin Love.

Corliss Williamson 2.0

He wishes! I don't see sixth man of the year in Williams' future. I say Rodney Rogers.

David Kahn acknowledged that Derrick Williams will have to improve his play in order to receive more playing time in his second season.

The Wolves signed Andrei Kirilenko, which will certainly impact the minutes he could have otherwise received.

"I think it challenges Derrick to seize the moment," Kahn said. "I think that, otherwise, Derrick probably would have been in a situation where he would have felt the minutes would just have been handed to him. I think in this environment, Derrick should feel challenged, and I hope he accepts the challenge to seize what he wants as opposed to it just being handed to him. There are no limitations on Derrick's ability to play here, from a minutes standpoint."

read that as

"we blew it with Batum, Williams isn't doing jack shit and we were desperate for a known veteran who had his best seasons years ago. I Kahn'd it"

Williams was drafted by Kahn, so he has a high probability of sucking. Dude wants to be a 3, when he is a face up 4.

As the kids say, Rick went "ham" on Williams.

Kids don't say that anymore.

Now its ...

He 'went in' on Williams.
