I did not know this. But having said that, Beverly isn't getting any better right now. He has actually regressed. He can't shoot and is 1-2 offensive fouls a game. Walker is just clumsy and doesnt have a high bball IQ. Wong on the other hand, has learned his strengths and is playing well. Still needs a jumper though.Before we start projecting him to be a star, understand that even though he's a freshman, Timberlake is actually older than Wong, Beverly and Walker. ****, he's older than some college juniors.
He's an explosive and fluid athlete, so in that sense he projects well, but one of the reasons he looks good for a freshman is because he should be sophomore.
You can't complain with Walker's production even if he is a bit out of control at times. Back to back double doublesI did not know this.

Agreed......there has been improvement for sure. Dont know if its just getting minutes or actual improvement but we'll see.You can't complain with Walker's production even if he is a bit out of control at times. Back to back double doubles
I think it's both. He was underutilized last year in favor of Sam.Agreed......there has been improvement for sure. Dont know if its just getting minutes or actual improvement but we'll see.
He was appropriately utilized last year, mostly because he had no clue what he was doing. He's improved significantly, but he's still got a long way to go.I think it's both. He was underutilized last year in favor of Sam.

Last season was a complete throw away. Walker should've been played more so he had experience entering this season. We all knew how limited Sam was, yet he played 30+ minutes every night when the season was already a waste.He was appropriately utilized last year, mostly because he had no clue what he was doing.

I agree, I have been underwhelmed by Brooks. He is a fair defender as you mentioned (not a dominant force but not a pushover like Miller) but his offensive game has been terrible. Not only is he bricking a bunch of post shots, he has 1 assist and 10 turnovers thru 6 games.Walker is getting more confident in every game. He is giving us an effective big who can shoot the 3, play inside and rebound. I like where his game is going.
Nysier Brooks is the guy who is really disappointing to me. Doesn't have any touch around the basket. He's shooting 44% as a center!! He's an ok rim protector but his overall presence doesn't seem to move the needle much in our front court. JAG
You could tell from game one Brooks is a stiff on the offensive block. Old Man Miller has more finesse then Brooks
Brooks is better than Rodney
