I can't believe people really thought WCS wouldn't make it in the league.

Dude is a 7ft tall, super athletic, defensive specialist.


What part of that made people think he would fail?



I remember some dude during the tourney was talkin shyt about him not putting up enough points. Nobody ever looked at WCS for offense

In the NBA, defense matters and if you're going to be an offensive zero, you have to be ELITE defensively.

You need to be Dennis Rodman/Ben Wallace/Dikembe Mutombo/Marcus Camby

I realize those examples had varying degrees of success, but if Willie Cauley Stein plans on being a long-term asset, he's gonna have to get at least 10 boards and block 3 or 4 shots every night.
Granted, he's only playing about 20 minutes per game, so maybe he actually will put up similar numbers in the long run.

@Malta what do you think of this, breh?

I was thinking he could be more like a Tyson Chandler type of player? Or am I wrong?

WCS is good and will be fine. He's an offensive threat like DeAndre. You gotta keep a body on him at all times or he'll catch an alley or get a put back.

I mean deandre can catch lobs and bully less athletic/dumb cac bigs, but "threat" is a little much

Deandre makes WCS look like an offensive savant

We're makin' threads about players averaging 5 & 6 now?

Breh, DeAndre gets tremendous defensive attention the second he gets within 10 feet of the rim especially without the ball. He's also an extremely opportunistic and intelligent cutter

The dude can catch almost anything, jumps incredibly high and quick, and is an amazing finisher in the rim. Not keeping a body on DeAndre opens up offensive rebound opportunities, easy lobs, and momentum changing alleys.

Nah we like defense too

Facts only, but that's about it man. His offensive skillset is trash. If he plays a competent big he's fukked. You can't throw him the ball on the block and tell him to score.

You gonna make a Tony Allen thread then?

 

[Captain Crunch]

If he can work on a 3 shot, WCS might fukk around and get a max in the future.

No, he's an established player, WCS is a rookie who some thought would be a bust but is doing exactly what was expected

 

[I AM WARHOL]

It's not like he's been great is it?
