in WN's first year so far?

Certainly not. I think I posted that I was hopeful he could average 10 pts. 6 rebounds. He is averaging 11.2 and 5.8, and I tend to believe those numbers will edge upward.

To follow-up, if Will averages 12.5 this year I could easily see him getting up to about 16.5 next year. So as I senior, I could see him being a 20 point a game scorer who gets us some national attention.

Plus one

The only ones who would be disappointed would be those who thought he would come in and average 25 points a game in his first year. He is a very talented young man who will only get better as he matures and gets stronger. But he can't do it all by himself. He needs help, both from his teammates and coaches who need to get him in a position to be able to contribute more. I don't think playing the five is helping him reach his potential. He is probably more comfortable playing facing the basket. But I guess he's playing where they feel they need him to play at this time. If Javes was further along offensively, I think we'd be seeing WN playing out on the floor a little more. And we might anyway as the season progresses.

If Gus were healthy, he probably would be facing the basket more now.

I totally agree.

Certainly disappointed with the record, but not WN's play. Overall, not disappointed in anybody's play. Very young team with lots of potential. Up and down play is expected. Up and down play equals not so good record.

I think leeper would have addenda couple wins along the way. He would have played some of the minutes Jackson is getting. He hits free throws and he has a post up game to go with the mid range jumper.

We still have issues with the press and zone offense. Well, leeper would help with the zone giving us 2 6'10 guys that can shoot the mid range jumper.
