Well nearly every year the same bs. You cant build a franchise like this.
I pretty much agree with everything you wrote. But what I really don't understand is why Willie is not getting back into plays once he is beaten. I noticed this time and time again.
Willies opponent beats him to a spot and Willie is just standing there ball watching or relying on his teammates to rotate, instead of aggressively flying in there with all his athleticism to alter the shot or to at least grab the possible rebound.
I simply can't understand that. He has all the athleticism in the world, but decides to stay rooted in one place and watch his man attempt a layup.
It's almost like he is content with rotating once and than decides it's not his job anymore to cover his original matchup, although there is well enough time for him to get back into play and to make it really difficult for the opposition.
Foe me this is an effort thing and I have a hard time liking guys not giving full effort.
Here are some examples.
2:07 look how easily Ingram moves Willie out of the way and Willie doesn't even attempt to get back in the play.
2:29 Randle has time to pumpfake and to simply attempt a layup. Willie is just standing there accepting he got beat.
Now DMC has similar issues, but with DMC I accept, that sometimes getting back into the play is risky, because you tend to pick up fouls. DMC carries our offense and we need to manage his fouls carefully.
But what is Willies excuse for that?
