Title: Another great game from Wes in the playoffs
Post by: Aughnanure on April 25, 2010, 11:10:02 PM
18pts, 3 steals, 3 assists...along with and emphatic dunk and block a few minutes ago.

Jazz are my new favorite NBA team.

That one missed dunk earlier was a bit embarrassing though.  Other than that he has played really well, hopefully the jazz hang on though.  They got a bit lazy at the start of the fourth.

Haha, I guess I missed that. Hopefully he can get to 20pts still.

42 minutes ... looks like the most on the squad.

He went for a two hand dunk on a breakaway and it went off the back of the rim and out.  Made up for it with a great game and the team's win.  Also, the bid dunk he threw down made up for it too.  I wouldn't be surprised to see his miss on the not top 10 though.

Grew up with the Kings, they're still my team. Always loved Jerry Sloan though.

Jazz are my second team now with Wes.

I thought Williams' breaking Nene's ankles and then stepping back for a three just before the end of the half was quite the play.  He has been overshadowed on every team he has been on, but he's been around longer than any of them.

Ya, I remember everyone talking about Dee Brown while Williams was at Illinois (man that was a good Illinois team...).  He and Wes have that in common as Wes got less attention than DJ and Jerel got while he was at MU.

Williams high school teammate was the much more highly recruited Bracey Wright who wound up at Indiana and is now playing in Europe.

Wes would make it easy enough to root for the Jazz on his own, but hard not to root for a Jerry Sloan coached team.

What an awesome, mean, old school, pissed off old dude he is.

My old roommate and I always used to talk about the big 3's NBA prospects. We agreed that a 5'8" point guard that couldn't shoot free throws had no future, but he thought that Jerel's defense would make him the better NBA player, while I thought Wes' all around game and size made him a much better suited package. Glad to see I was right about him :D
