He's a terrible PF, dude. He can't defend any competent PF, doesn't have the size to be a PF, and is average to mediocre on offense. SO what if he scored 15 PPG on a playoff team? The Thunder did nothing those years, and that was before Harden hit his stride.

Williams played 15 games as a starter with no Love, Rubio or Pekovic and Beasley playing limited minutes and averaged 11 points on 11 shots. Was a 39/25/60 shooter as a starter, keep making excuses for the guy.

Williams is a terrible PF, he's a horrible defender, he's undersized and he's been average to mediocre on offense.

"Whatever Nic Batum decides to do - signs a Minny offer sheet, or not - he'll be a Blazer again. Portland isn't losing him to the Wolves."

Looks like Batum isn't going anywhere.

But he hasn't hit his ceiling. Green has been the same since his 2nd year in the league, and with an entire season away from the game, he's not going to be the same.

So how well do you think Jeff Green would have done with no Harden, no Durant, no Westbrook, and no other good player on the team? Basically, how well would he have done if he was essentially seen as the best player. Probably not that well.

I don't know why you're trying to make this about Jeff Green to avoid the fact that Derrick Williams is a bust.

I don't understand why Batuuuuum is so adamant about leaving. What did Portland do to wrong him? They gave him a vote of confidence when they traded Wallace, made him a big part of their offense. Finished ahead of Minny last year. Whatttt.

Counter-troll activated, I see.

4 years and 45 million for Batum?

Holy fuck the bad contracts just keep coming; Asik, Batum, and Fields.

Derrick Williams is a bust.

People didn't hesitate to call the last two #2 picks Hasheem Thabeet and Evan Turner busts after their rookie seasons, why should it be any different for Derrick Williams?
