This is an unfortunately-timed picture of Jamil, and I do not mean to knock on the kid, but he does look kinda silly, you must admit. That being said, I'm very excited, as rocky suggested I clarify, to see what he can do on the court.
In the end, Maymon is probably the one looking the silliest, but good luck to him anyways. Jamil, I'm sure your sense of humor will shake this picture off if you've seen it.

So...uh...you could edit your original post to just say: "I'm extremely excited to see what Jamil can do next year". I'm not sure what your point was in sharing that unfortunate picture.
Worst. Post. Of. 2011.

Agreed. But in all honesty, is that Maymon shooting?
Agree, why would one post such a thing when the guy is the biggest cheerleader on the bench. Sad......

That is a slashing 2 finishing at the hole. That's what happens you run the offense through talent.

Wowzers, chill people. I'm extremely excited to see what Jamil can do next year and I'm not gonna let an unfortunately-timed photograph ruin my day.

No negative waves, need the positive vibes....

If you consider it an unfortunately timed picture, why post it?
I would think Jamil would get a chuckle out of the picture. How could one not find that funny. I could see if the post was made with a comment saying he plays D like a wuss or something, but that wasn't the case.With the way people often attack our players and coaches on this board, it shocks me that this photo strikes a nerve.

I can support that edit.
To StillWarriors - the original topic just said "I hope Jamil Wilson plays better defense than this next year" with the picture, so it was hard to tell if it was supposed to be a rip, or amusing, or what.
Got it, thanks.
Well Buzz won't have to work too hard implementing his "no fouls on D" philosophy with Jamil.
Jamil's not the power forward/enforcer we need. I hope Buzz will land that guy.

Maybe the word FAIL at the top has something to do with it.
In Jamil's defense, I believe that he had 4 fouls at the time of the photo. He was trying to stay clear of Maymon to keep from fouling out of the game.
Interesting note, Vander Blue was 3-4 on 3 pt attempts in that game.

Eford is correct. Jamil had a great tournament until that final. He was doing it alone with Horlick. BTW any word on Lomomba? He pretty much fell off the radar.

He was scared of embarrassing a future NBA #1 pick.
We are lucky to have Jamil Wilson. He is super talented. He will be a great player for Marquette the next three years!
How does Jamil compare to Jimmy Butler? Who is better? etc.
JFB IMO is bigger and stronger, but Jamil is better with the ball in his hands and can create his own shot.
Wilson is also a Inch or 2 taller and more athletic.
How does Jamil's jump shot compare to JFB's? I've never seen him play.
What is up with all the censorship? I didn't have any problem with the original title or post. It was pretty clear that it was a joke, unless you actually thought that a college basketball fan was basing his defensive assessment of a player on 1 still shot.
I'm sure Jamil has seen the picture and suffered some good natured ribbing at the hands of teammates about it. If he's an A-Rodian like douche, he got mad. If he's the guy I've watched all year on the bench, I'm guessing he laughed about it.
People who got mad need to reassess their priorities and smoke a J.

He struggled from the outside last year when playing for Oregon. His 3FG% was something like 28%.
He will fit in perfectly!
Anytime you can post a photo completely out of context to make an objective observation, you've got to do it.

Not sure if he had four fouls at the time, but he was definitely in foul trouble. If I remember correctly, he was called for a couple of ticky-tack fouls early and a questionable charge in the second quarter. He picked up his fourth just before halftime. Memorial still would have won if he wasn't in foul trouble, but it would have been a much better game.

Blue had a hell of a tournament that year. He had 30-plus against Germantown and brought the place to its feet with a dunk against a really good Bay Port team in the semis. I remember thinking at the time that his game would translate better to high major college ball than Maymon, who seemed to get most of his points just because he was stronger than the guy guarding him and could muscle his way to the basket.

Jamil and EWill are both tall guys that get a lot of elevation on their smooth jump-shots. If either of them are in the game and can consistently make shots it's going to make for some pretty plays :)
So in having Jamil, do we think we will be better next year or about the same? I expect the
point situation to be about the same, some good days and some not so good, thoughts?

I think they are going to miss a lot of Butler's tenacity. Wilson may be a better scorer and better athlete. So the questions will be...can Crowder, Otule and Gardner emerge more so that we don't miss what Butler does on the inside? Will EWill finally give us something to possibly fill the Fulce role? Will Jamil's game evolve since his freshman year at Oregon?
Having not seen seen Wilson play last year, what was the story with his freshman year. He averaged about 5 points a game. How much playing time did he get? If he is better than Butler I would hope he would think he would get more than 5 a game. Then again didnt they end up getting read of the coach after the season. Maybe the whole season was a mess.
Freshman are hard to fit in, you really have to be good to shine, he was OK. Saw
a few games, long way to go. The year off will really help him mature and he even
stated that Todd Smith has really shaped his body. The big question is can he hit
the three. If not, Juan Anderson might get time at the 3. I was thinking earlier in
the year they would play Vander at the 3 next year, but unless he learns to shot the
three or have any O, he will have to have a huge off-season, in the weight room and
the gym. Vander looked great as a junior in high school, not sure what has happened,
coaching, confidence?? His head is always down, body language is awful, and has no
idea when to shot and not to shot.
