Derrick Williams struggling to guard perimeter; Wolves force him to PF position

[veilside23]

to me williams is like a derrick coleman / rodney rogers..

[noob cake]

Our rookie is struggling to guard our best offensive player, how is this a surprise? Most people had trouble guarding Beasley last year, does that mean they all fail at the 3 spot?

I think Williams will play most minutes at the 4 but will also backup the 3 for some of the game also. By the way the article you posted is rubbish because it said Anthony Randolph can play the 3.

Well Wolves didn't expect Williams to be able to guard Beasy, but he probably was too slow for a 3 in practice regardless.

ONLY if Kev Love was a center then they wouldn''t have to worry much about anything ...

Rubio
Wes J.
Beasley
Williams
Love

But that's not the case ...I can see them trying it out but idk

That's a terrible line up. Besides, Love isnt a Center.

Again, if Williams is a PF, why draft him with Love on the team?? This is the point no one is answering.

Oh thats right, you got no f*cking answer.

So who should the wolves drafted at 2?

[outbreak]

SHould have traded the pick imo. But they thought he could be a 3 and he still can be. All rookies struggle on defense first year generally.

Derrick Williams, Jonas Valanciunas >>> Tristan Thompson

Thompson shut Derrick Williams the **** down during their workouts with the cavs.

Everybody with half a brain knows you draft the best player available. Back in 1984 Portland decided to not pick a star SG coming out of Carolina because they already had a star SG. More recently Detroit pick Darko over Anthony because they were happy with Prince's progression. Always pick the best player available, then you can make trades if necessary. Understand now?

Michael Beasley as much as I break his chops is a good scorer. There is no for any rookie trying to handle him one on one. He avg 19 last season and had some big scoring outputs over the season.

Oh wow, Derrick Williams is going to play his natural position.

Shocker.

this. Michael Beasley is just too talented.

Barely anybody in the league can guard him str8 up. And now that he lost 15 pounds in the off-season, he is going to be a much more dangerous offensive weapon for the Wolves.
