every year I thought Shaq was going to become a star player but he always seemed to get close and then seem to shun it all. He was very disappointing to me.
Keith Williams gave me a similar feel to Shaq.
I kept hoping that he would find his stride and be a star, the same as with Shaq. And similar to Shaq, he never quite got to that level, even though seemingly having the talent to do so.
I mean, I guess I kind of understand where you're coming from...but Keith averaged nearly 15ppg last season, what more did you want? Yes, the team as a whole had trouble and Keith had his rough games, but it's not like we have a ton of people averaging that many points per game for us over the last decade+. Going back to the reset (2006), only Jarron, SK, and Deonta have averaged more per game in a season...and all but Deonta had better support around them.
Shaq Thomas never averaged more than 6.6ppg in his career here and Keith was above 10ppg in 3/4 seasons.
