This is obviously crap, but I have heard from someone who regularly talks to Walkers mom, (a huge ksu fan that pretty much stalks her in my opinion) that he is not happy with the way the coaching staff is handling things. Beasley is running the show and Billy doesn't like it. He has even talked to the AD and President of the school about it.
Thats not good news for team chemistry. Hopefully they get this figured out before the season starts.
You're absolutely correct. Bill cannot stand to be overshadowed by another player off the court. Except for one small detail. Bill grew up as the lesser known of two players to OJ Mayo. Seems rather than having problems on the court, Bill flourished. Maybe Bill deserves a little more credit than what you give him. He's on a journey to fufill a dream. Since neither play the same position, they do not take minutes away from each other. Playing with Mike actually will enhance his opportunities on the court. If teams have to double team Mike, Bill gets better shots. If teams have to focus on Bill, scouts will see that as evidence that like when he played with OJ, if you don't give him enough attention, he will take over the game.
I think Bill, Clent, and David Hoskins will be the leaders of this team on the floor. Mike will amaze with his talent, but has yet to demonstrate his leadership abilities. Mike will also make a lot of mistakes due to his lack of experience at this level. Dave will take a much smaller role, but will be very successful because he won't be asked to do too much. Dave is only going to do the things he's already proven to be good at. Clent will be expected to the quarterback, his responsibility will be to get the offense into the correct play. His attempts will be very low, but he should be able to set personal records in assists. Bill, on the other hand will be able to continue with the expanded role he was given at the time of his injury. If Bill can consistently shoot from the outside, he's a lottery pick for next year. If not, he can still get his low post opportunities against other teams small forwards. Probably will hurt his chances for the first round, but gets him drafted in the second round and guaranteed money.
