Morris, Willis, and Nurger
Have put up some ridiculous numbers.
Easily average double -double per game.
In 35 mpg, Morris and Willis combined for 20 and 10. In 15 additional minutes, Nurger adds 5 and 3. The three also combine for 2 blocks, 1 steal, 2 assists, and 3 turn overs per game. They shoot 53% from the field, 42% from 3 and 75% from the stripe.
IIRC, 3G said that Shaq is starting to get some NBA looks as a Charles Barkley type player.
I heard that, but I don't see Chuck, I see more Glen Davis.
To play the 5, he might need to gain weight, which might be easier than dropping weight and looking like Draymond Green chasing 4's around the perimeter.

What's scary is I think Willis could be MUCH better next year. Remember the jumps a lot of our JUCO transfers have made between their Junior and Senior seasons. I think of Carl Hall, Chadrack Lucile and to a lesser extent Darius Carter as JUCO bigs who were better their Senior years. I'd say Willis is the most talented of those but is not nearly the warrior Carl Hall was. Once Darral figures out how to pass out of a double team he's gonna be much harder to defend. He's already better than earlier in the season when he was hopeless when he got doubled.

Coach needs to tie his left hand behind his back for the summer.

Seriously. And develope some up's ala Rashard Kelly. Geez...Rashard has really developed some aggressiveness getting to the rack this year!
You're right about Kelly. Halfway through the season, I was thinking he's just one of those players who tries hard but is basically the exact same player from Freshman to Senior. Then suddenly he just seemed to get a jolt of confidence from somewhere. I read a quote where he said he kept getting his shot blocked so he decided to try to dunk everything he could. Ever since he's been a different player. I still scream at the tv "PASS!!" every time he tries to go coast to coast with a defensive rebound, but I'm really happy for him because he seems like such a great, team oriented kid.
Coach said on the coach's show that Rashard has made huge strides. The next step in his development is to get him to start making those 6 footers that he often misses. Kelly seems like a guy that wants to get better and is willing to do anything to help the team.
