I can't remember that far back. But Archaea pumped Winder his entire career, presumably due to the Las Vegas connection.
Winder was one of those guys who mysteriously sat on the bench for reasons that Rose can only know. (barring when he was hurt).
Rose just doesn't care about defense. He doesn't play guys who are defensive specialists.
I don't know exactly how TJ is going to turn out. It can't get much WORSE than this. So that's good.
This guy was built up to be a stud. You know, someone who was going to lead us to the promised land.
In an era when 19yo phenoms play meaningful minutes in the NBA, here we have an RM who looks like he belongs on a Div III team, in terms of athleticism. It's jarring and worrisome.
If he had a great basketball brain, that would be one thing. But that is not in evidence yet. His basketball IQ right now looks no better than average at best. And that is BAD NEWS for a slow, pasty white guy who can't shoot or defend.
