Could Elliott Williams play a tad this year?

I want to make it clear that I do like E Will. Really want him on our team next year. If you can't stay healthy you cant help us though. You have to be on the court to produce.

 

No way he risks it this year MM, getting the final 20% fully healed after an Achilles rupture still takes a lot of time.

 

IF healthy, he could be the SGOTF.

 

I like watching these videos (when they are Blazer players) but they mean nothing. You can make a great video that makes Anthony Tolliver look really good.

 

Would love to see him play again this year. He is a guy i'v been intrigued with for awhile but he has never been healthy enough to show what he can do. I wouldn't mind bringing him back next year at a minimum 1 year deal after we use our capspace but i'v given up on him being any important part of the Blazers.

 

He might risk it because he hasn't shown much his entire career and needs to show something to get a new contract from a team, even if its only a 1 year deal.

 

I got the impression, watching EWill last year, that he was a total gunner. I have to say, since he played some PG in college, that he was kind of a disappointment. Claver is better (if a good deal less exciting).

 

Only for the minimum. He's played a grand total of only 149 minutes. And he is a player dependent upon his athleticism. It's not a great sign when you spend more time healing than playing.

 

We do need a gunner off the bench, and he's more in control than Barton.

 

Great sample to choose from: 149 minutes played in the NBA. That's totally laughable.

 

Anthony Tolliver IS very good. Your point?

 

lol riiight

 

hes an nba player when healthy

if he ever gets healthy he should have a place somewhere, will basically be starting his career at 24 years old though

 

He has NBA-level offensive talent, but almost every Pritchard pick was an injury risk. Draft them with past injuries, then let it bake for years.

 

Everyone in the NBA is very good relatively speaking. Compared to people not in the NBA he is incredible. Compared to other players currently in the NBA he isn't in the top 2/3rds though.

 

McMillan dumped Tolliver after a 10-day tryout because of defense. Other NBA coaches aren't as picky. He probably would have cut Hickson, too.

 

Why compare the two? They dont play the same position. Williams is a strict 2, claver is a 3/stretch 4

 

We had already established he only played 149 minutes or whatever. Just saying that in those very few minutes his on court production has been better than Matthews.

 

That's the old EW. The new one is damaged goods and will continue to be so. Stick a fork in him- he's done.
