I got to my seats late (had to go way TF up to section 205 to get a Crunch birthday beanie for my Little Brother), and Wig already had seven points that I missed when we finally got to our seats. But except for two nice three-pointers and the tragic turnover Lip mentions, , I honestly don't remember even seeing Wig on offense the rest of the game. I don't know if that's an indictment of Ryan, our PGs or Wig himself...probably a combo platter...but it's a huge continuing problem... we simply have to find a way to get him more involved in the offense.

That said, I do know he was in the game, because I saw a lot of good defense from him. Several times during the game I said "nice D, Wig" or "great footwork", and I noticed others praising his defense too. I thought he "brought it" on the boards and defensive side last night.


Wiggs will defer to teammates and not step on toes if u let him. I think flip figured that out before he passed away. I think it has to be maddening for guys he plays with because they see his talent, but good at the same time because he isn't going to fight them for the ball and stats.


Ummm, I think there is a player who plays in Philly who might feel this way about our boy Wiggy

I love @heydb. But a couple comments. Lot of guys in the NBA stand in the corner on spread PNR plays. Not a lot of "demanding the ball" guys in the league. Coach usually calls a play. Want to get Wig involved? Call a post-up play that he was really good at for a while. Think /1

the analytics got in his head and he's drifted out to being a spacer instead of what he did well (face-up midpost). Also, the 3 man doesn't crash the offensive glass in almost every scheme today. Body language isn't great and I get the general point. But not all on him. /2

Pretty much what I've said. In this offense when Rose or Teague has the ball all the time, what is he supposed to do? Get in the way of the PnR play?
