Pope optimistic on Williams

[MidseasonTweak]

If we get him back full strength we're Final 4 good

I needed a laugh today. We aren't a FF team even if everyone was 100%

Williams coming off surgery is no game changer

people have a weird memory with Kam. Was was nearly unplayable many of those games defensively and didn’t shoot the lights out. Listen to them talk I keep wondering who this Ray Allen is who went to the bench. Never saw much out of Kam, saw a guy improving from really bad to not as really bad.

I suppose your narrative would be more widely accepted if JQ's dad hadn't come out and trashed Pope the exact same week they shut him down.

The timing said it all.

I’m not actually going either way but this is the part so many are not accepting as a possibility. Or intentionally forgetting.

It was DAYS from him trashing the program and then being shut down. Again correlation doesn’t mean causation, but one rarely mentioned part of that? It is a necessary ingredient too.

True. The last 3 games he played he had like 3 rebounds total.

He’s no Willis Reed limping out there to save the day.

Of course he is optimistic he is a sunshine pumper himself.

A healthy Williams would make our ceiling a little higher. A tentative Williams wouldn’t help much.

Oddly, I don't see nearly the number of people asking for JQ to be told to leave the program as we did with Sharpe.

Say what you want about Sharpe, he NEVER faked an injury, and just sat not giving a single thought about what anyone said about it!

As it turns out, he can actually play basketball too, more than I can say about JQuit the Pretender

NIT? That’s still a stretch…

Oddly because he's been hurt lol

A healthy JQ playing to his potential would be the only player out of our injured trio who could significantly boost this team.

Lowe and Williams compete with Chandler and Oweh for minutes. Those two have been two of our best players in conference play.
