Willis's development/gain in confidence

[EvilMD]

Reminds me of the shot in the arm we got in 1997 when Scott Padgett came in and started swishing jumpers. It has added a dimension that has visibly removed some of the stress off of other players.

He's going to be integral to any kind of tournament run we make this year.

Willis is awesome. Need that consistent effort from him and skal if we're going to make a run.

Now guys... Everybody on this forum know Willis can't play and the only reason people talk about him is because he's from Kentucky!!

Are we actually allowed to talk about anything on this forum? Do you ever do anything but complain?

Derek Willis hopefully does what Jeremy Lamb did for UCONN. J Lamb was a thin stretch four who could shoot and was vital to uconn's run. Jeremy Lamb and Willis have similar games IMO.

Pretty much I was called his dad several times.

There's a lot of threads because it's a great f'ing story. Kinda like how Ravi Moss progressed while he was here. I want nothing more than for this kid to turn into an 18pt/game scorer. Might not be a superstar NBA talent, but he could end up being a great college player. He's nearly 6'10" shooting 3's like that.

ok guys: only 5 points this half so far, let's step it up now

i simply don't understand how people would not root for him and be giddy at his development. I really think that some would rather be "right", and aren't overjoyed at the revelation that he is a weapon.

We have basically dominated since he has started. Whatever the reason for that, he is a big part of it.

Sincerely, Bank Cat the unabashed "fanboi".

There are more than that. But he is a good start.

Willis is automatic from the free throw line and is doing a little bit of everything well. Rebounding ,deflecting passes and shooting very well. Saturday will be a good test for him hope he keeps it up.

Great perfformance, proud of this Kentucky born player? You better believe it.

Willis is ABSOLUTELY talented enough to play in the NBA as well as he glides around the court. ABSOLUTELY.

Yes, he looks like a fool right now. But then, I guess we're all still a bunch of "fanbois"

 

[ORCAT10]

Seems to grab every rebound. Playing with great confidence.

If he ever starts to drive the ball, opponents better forget about it. Willis is playing so dang well.
