It's weird that Wear and Williams are at similar spots game wise, with totally different backgrounds. He did alright with the open shots LBJ gave him, guess it's good practice for playing with him next year.

To be fair, during Luke's tenure, the only player from Arizona we got was Channing Frye and he was just a salary filler.

If he has Bargnani guarding him every game, it should work.

Isn't he born in LA?

Strange how we keep on getting these 4/3 hybrids.

I guess a true SF is too much to ask these days.

Hope this doesn't mean BI is out for an extended stretch.

Welcome Derrick Williams. Please play defense at the 3 position. At least until BI and Hart return. Wishing for too much?

This organization hates Loul Deng more than LG does now doesn’t it?

Yeah, Deng is done I guess. Pretty crazy stuff.

I like the signing in a vacuum, but he's played more 4/3 recently.

I don't get the phobia on playing Deng either. I was hoping the Lakers would pick up another 3, and Williams is close enough to give it a watch I guess. I think Wear/Kuzma at 3 looked awful against Orlando and Portland, after filling in fine against SAS's depleted team. I hope Williams fits a little better until we get BI and Hart back.

Thus might mean BI could be out for a while. Kuzma shown he can play the 3.
D will would be backup 4.

All I remember is my DWill being robbed by 2 girls he brought home in NYC. Hopefully his defense in LA, both on/off the court will be better.

I feel that's exactly what it means. BI about to be shut down for the year.
