Just had a thought today and really had nowhere to post it as it didn't deserve its own thread and really didn't belong in an existing thread. So I thought to myself maybe I should start a thread for exactly this kind of situation for people so here it is. Post your thoughts, feelings, anything KINGS that don't deserve its own thread.
My thought today.
I was thinking about how good Justin Williams looked in the summer league last year then I got to thinking about why. Of course he can rebound but he was getting easy baskets at the rim. Mostly because of Hawes setting him up right at the basket. Therefore Hawes made him better. Chris Webber used to make players around him better.
Now Justin Williams never at any time made Hawes or anybody for that matter a better player. On that same thought neither does Mikki. In fact Mikki cost teamates many of assist therefore makeing himself and others worse. Anyway I digress. Mikkie brings nothing to the either end of the floor that makes his teamates around him better. Justin Williams had a double double once against Memphis in 06-07. In that same game Brad had a triple double. About 5 of his assist were setting up Justin up close i.e. Hawes in summer league last year.
Now for my point. with Jason Thompson being described as a good passer with handling skills and court vision. Does he posses the talent of making teamates better? If so it may show in the summer league this year. He may indeed compliment Hawes and both of them feed off of each other making one another better. I think with that skill alone already sets him obove Moore. If he can match the same stats as Moore 9pts 6reb 0.5ast he is equal to Mikki but, his skillset should enable him to not only gets those stats easily but, surpass intagibles by making others better because of his passing, court vision and ball handling. All traits Mikki does no posses.
