I thought Williams played pretty well last night off of the bench...ON DEFENSE. Still think he's "doing too much" on offense, making for some painful-to-watch moments in the paint, but on defense he made a difference last night.
But, the real thing is basically that this team is doing well this year because they like playing with each other again. As a fan, that's easy to see if you look/care, but it might be worth substantially more than we think. Everyone knows this team is built around Luka, but When I see the them huddled around Williams for the pre-game hype, even on the first night he loses his starting job...well, I think maybe he's having an impact we don't fully appreciate.
It's one thing to be the team leader, but it's another thing to be the team leader on a team that's WINNING.
Yep. I think a big focus this offseason was to improve the locker room and so far it looks like a success.
