Troy Williams - Taiwan Beer (Taiwan Super League)

[mdn82 25,510]

Troy doesn't have that skill set. That is the problem. He isn't a 3 and D player. Because he can't shoot 3's and can't play D. He could be one if he worked at it and understand that it's the only way he will make it.

While I get what you are saying where he presently is at. Aren't you in the same statement saying he has potential? Isn't that what the NBA is about?

[mdn82 25,510]

Let me be clear, I think he has 0 chance of making a squad this year and it was a bad decision to come out. But if he truly works at what he needs to he has potential to make a squad in the next couple of years.

He has the potential but he doesnt. He does because the resources are there to become a Trevor Ariza. A reliable defender that can hit the 3. I don't think he'll be anywhere near Ariza though. Ariza is a starter in the league and has been on a title team. He doesn't have the potential because I don't think he understands what he needs to do and the people surrounding him don't know either. Like his mama.

I think the issue is that after 3 years in college if a guy was anything more than potential he would have shown it.

Troy has the potential to be an NBA player. He has the physical attributes that you need to make it in the league. I just haven't seen anything at all in his three years at IU that suggests he's ever going to realize his potential. 

[bhaggard89 869]

Right.. he shot 38-117 in 3 years. His shot mechanics are poor to say the least. His best bet to make the league is to try and be Trevor Ariza.

So there's no room for improvement? He shot 35% last season. Don't hear people knocking on Oladipo's past and how poor he shot 3's.

People talk about Oladipo's mediocre shooting all the time.

[X-Hoosier 529]

Victor shot 44.1%(30-68) his Junior year. Troy shot 34.7%(26-75).

Watched the Suns game last night, I'll be honest I was pleasantly surprised at how good Troy looked. He's better when he isn't a featured part of an offense. 

[bhaggard89 869]

Surprised XHoosier hasn't signed with a summer league team and shown us all how easy it is to hit threes in an actual game.

Yea let me get right on that. I'll put my name into next year's draft and go undrafted.. just like Troy.

Why do you have to take potshots at the kid at every turn? I get not thinking he isn't a NBA caliber player but damn man. This **** has to stop.

[mdn82 25,510]

An opinion is ok. But talking about any kid like he nailed your woman has never been. Not everything is roses. This is one of those situations. Beyond that state your opinion. But don't come back every couple hours to pile on. No need to be a d1ck.

Kid? He is what? 21 or 22? He's a year younger than me. Me talking crap about him isn't like someone who is 40 doing so.

He better get used to it. He isn't in college anymore.

When you've been "advised" by almost every mod to chill, probably a good idea to do so.

Doesn't matter, he's an IU guy and we don't allow player bashing. You're close...

Nah, he'll just learn to tune out the ignorant and hateful people. It's what adults do.
