Kwintin Williams...

[Greathusky]

Ok I know he would not have made a difference in the end result but can you give the guy some minutes?

Is he honestly going to be worse than any other big man out there?

Carlton looks lost every time he touches the ball. Big David and Diarra gets those kind of fouls where you
say "What happened?". Whalley and Polley are invisible.

Ollie’s saving him so he can insert him in his 14th different starting line up next game

Williams on KO: "He hate me." Can there be any other reason?

Carlton played well on the offensive boards and had some blocks. Even when not coming up with rebounds he was tipping the ball and giving the team a chance.

 

[SaeHusky]

Give Williams - David O.'s minutes.

 

[tentoes4rings]

It’s ridiculous. What kind of message are you sending the kid when after being the only one to compete against Auburn he doesn’t even see the court? He has one of the only NBA bodies on the roster and is super athletic. Find a way to utilize this kid!

 

[AdamaNation]

Do you guys seem to only watch kw when he’s on the court too? The shirts kill me but I keep waiting for that foul line two handed put back. Just knowing that’s on the floor is fun. Yes scrap Dave’s minutes. I think Dave got the start due to Shaqs overall size which was like 30-40 lbs more than “big” Dave.

I was at the game and did not have the luxury of seeing the game up close on TV. My post was based on a travel, an offensive foul and a missed gimmee by Carlton.

Carlton is far from the biggest problem. He might be the highest-IQ big we've had in the KO era.

Onuorah getting starts and meaningful minutes is simply incomprehensible.

By junior year Carlton could be decent.

He should be another Gavin Edwards. Benchwarmer his first couple of years learning in practice against studs, a meaningful sub in his 3rd year, and a starter as a senior.

Because of KO's failures in recruiting and player development, it's likely that he'll be thrust into a bigger role before he's ready, won't get better in practice because none of the other bigs are worth anything, and won't substantially develop.

Hope I'm wrong (or that another coach can change the trajectory).

Williams is so far from being able to contribute.

Right now, Cobb, Carlton, Diarra, Whaley and Polley should get all of the available minutes.

I am confused as to what Ollie is doing. Sigh

The coaches see these players everyday in practice and apparently Williams didn't do enough to earn PT. It is as simple as that.

The offensive foul was a bit questionable. They called over the back, but he got that ball with minimal contact.

I’ll say this...those coaches see DO and somehow think he should start.

 

[HuskyFich]

He is on a very long path. There's a reason he was passed over originally, there is a reason he was in Juco, there's a reason KO isn't playing him. I understand that KO doesn't have the rotations down yet, but he isn't going to play someone who doesn't deserve to.

DO gets a lot of grief on here, but he has the ability to extend possessions with his ability to give the offense second chances, JC has great vision and blocking ability, MD is a bruiser, IW is scrappy and has the big man intangibles.

EC has potential but hasn't played well late and his minutes are going down, Tyler Phommachanh needs to find ways to effect the offense more than just an occasional rebound.

KW hasn't done anything outside of getting rebounds when we were down 30.

Seems like there hoping he can eat some minutes, block out and rebound. Problem is he is only getting minutes and not doing any of the other. He needs to get pushed down the rotation. The experiment failed.

 

[zls44]

Can't believe recruiting a kid literally based on his instagram audience hasn't worked out.

Offensive foul, illegal screen, in first minute. Don’t want to be down on players, but c’mon guys, know the rules and don’t break the simple ones.

I see these players in games and some need to be sitting a bit longer then they do.

He also played about 3 minutes against Arkansas and missed coverage several consecutive possessions leading to a 9 point swing in 90 seconds.

So definitely some reasons not to play him. But I do like his spunk! I hope they can clean him up and play him more in the future.

How do you know that's how KO determines playing time? This isn't JC.

When do you think Ollie willl get his rotations down?

I like Carlton and we`ve been complaining about of the lack of development of our bigs in recent years. The more and more i watch this continue to be the case the more im convinced that this is squarely on the coaching. Or lack there of.
