What do you expect out of Will?

What do you realistically expect out of Will? What are your thoughts on his progress so far in summer league? What do you think he'll do next season? What do you think his ceiling is? Do you think he has a future with the team?

All things Will Barton.

 

I expect Will to be Blake's new Roy.

 

If Will could play with a little more control, I expect great things from him. I could see him being a super sub that can defend well and score in bunches. I don't really have a player I could compare him to, but he definitely has no fear.

 

I expect Will to either figure out how to use him athleticism to increase his FG% or ride the pine.
game 1: 4-11
game 2: 5-15

 

splinters sadly

 

Still not sure he'll see a lot of minutes, but I expect we'll see him in the regular rotation. I imagine he'll be one of those guys who Stotts plugs in for a few minutes and if he's producing, will ride him while he's hot.

 

I like Will a lot, mostly because he attacks the basket and he creates chaos, but I think CJ is vastly more polished.

 

I think you will see Will playing 3 more than 2

 

Yeah I have no clue either. Not sure where the minutes will come from unless there is an injury. I would not mind seeing him at the 3 if that helped him get minutes. He loves to run the baseline looking for openings. (And alley oops)

 

Yeah, he's one of the few guys who will actually get out on a break and attack. I wish Batum was a little bit more like him.

 

I expect him to change the pace of games for a few minutes at a time.
But more than that I expect that Stotts won't play him unless he has to.

 

The unexpected.

 

I expect a stat line of 11/5/2 on ~.425 with some solid defense played.

(This is if he is our true 6th man)

 

I am really impressed with how much improvement Barton has shown so far in his career. He has earned a spot in the regular rotation IMO.

 

To be the peoples champion.

 

That's my favorite nickname of a complete no-name in the NBA. Because it's true. Wil Barton is a complete scrub, but every time he touches the ball you just know some crazy shit is going to happen. I'm 41, I've played a few rec league games, and if you somehow magically put my brain inside the insanely athletic Wil Barton body, you'd get the exact same results. Crazy, crazy shit that comes from far more "I wonder if this'll work?" than solid basketball fundamentals.

He's the people's champion. He's my champion. He's also probably out of the league in a year or so.

 

That was a bit harsh...

Anywho everytime Barton gets subbed in the PA should play "The Champ is here" by Jadakiss lol

 

I just hope that Barton has his "Tony Buckets" night before he's out of the league.

 

Less than I expect from CJ, but more than I expect from Leonard.

 

I would go absolutely apeshit if Wil went off for 53. Even in the summer league. It wouldn't change my opinion of him one iota, but I would still love it.

He's the people's champion.
