    That is three wins in four now, and these two guys are really contributing. Hopefully Wilcox isn't currently playing himself into a contract that we can't/won't give him, because I can really see him staying out his career in Seattle, while Watson is the best point guard on our roster at the moment.

    Petro continues to look fantastic, too.

    Forgive me for being pessimistic, but I have a feeling neither of them would perform like this for the length of an entire season.

    Maybe not, but we can only go on what they have shown so far, and both look to be very handy.

    They really did help us win tho. Ray just clears the floor and dumps the ball to Wilcox and dat dude is already flying. That was a good game, first game I've sat down and watched in a while, and I was impressed by how Watson ran the floor, he went down the floor so fast and got everyone running also. It was a good game, good to see us bounce back when we were down big.

    Oh yeah and did anyone else notice Swift?..It looked like he was trying to play agressive by rebounding the ball hard and packing it with his hands and stuff..haha it was kinda funny.

    It's great how everyone is running the floor. Man..if Wilcox made that one dunk where he missed and the ball flew to the other end of the court....wow...that woulda been sick!! He took that thing back and was gonna just tear the rim down. Ah well he made up for it later.

    Can you imagine resigning Wilcox and drafting Mensa-Bonsu. What a sick Dunkfest we would throw every game. Maybe I just miss Kemp more than I thought, but I would have to move back to Seattle if that happened.

    Watson I believe will stay a contributor. Wilcox is talented, but his IQ is just horrible as of this moment. Once he gets better he'll become more of a consistent contributor.

    Watson will contribute as long as he stays in the league, because he is such a smart player and he's added a pretty good outside jumper in the last couple of seasons.

    As for Wilcox, I'm not sure we need a lot from him at this point, especially in terms of basketball smarts. We just need a guy who will run the floor, contest a few shots and finish around the basket. Wilcox is doing that to perfection at the moment.
