Wilson is the key. If he is on the court we are at least 20 points better, even if he does not score. He is the only player we have who can create shots for himself and everyone else on the floor.4
Agree on Wilson. It might even be more than a 20 point difference for the team when you consider he is a strong defensive player. That may be hard to believe for some that one player can have that drastic of a difference without scoring much but all you have to do is watch how the team performs when he is on the court vs without. Previous 4 games without him show that. Also agree Hardy deserves lots of credit for the defensive job he did on Ertel last night. He did not have his best game here in large part to PJ. Recall Ertel had 30 in Monroe last year against us. PJ did a good job of not allowing Ertel to catch the ball at times which really limited him. At times PJ did not even know where the ball was due to his focus on that man. That goes against most defensive principles which tell you to know where the ball is as well as your man. There are some times when it is appropriate to go against that and last night was one.
Didn't see the whole game, but the parts I did see, Wilson was playing PG and running the offense. I think this is a much better approach than having Russell at PG.
