A Step Back

I would go more with Jamil at the 5 and get more athletic. Unless we utilize the athleticism we will struggle. Mayo, Blue, Lockett, Anderson and Wilson woud be my lineup for long stretches. Our PG's hold us back and big men are not ready for the big boys.

There seems little doubt that Junior Cadougan is a great kid who has come up the hard way. There is no doubt that he and Coach Williams have a deep bond, and that Cadougan is Coach Williams on the floor. Coach Williams is old school ... rule number 1 is loyalty. Rule number 2 is to see rule number 1.

Personally, this long time Warrior fan thinks that is the way it should be.

Nonetheless, it is obvious that against high level, fast, athletic teams, Junior loses a rather significant degree of his effectiveness. The are lots of player changes/substitutions/alternatives Coach Williams could try.  However, it seems that Coach Williams brought Cadougan to the dance, and that he is sticking with Junior to the end.
