Is Derrick Williams of the Timberwolves a bust?

I came across an article this morning about Derrick Williams being a bust. Well I did a little research to actually look at his numbers. They seem ok to for a sophomore season in the NBA, when it comes to his development. There is also a few ugly games this guy had Like 0-12 against Chicago and a few 3-12 games. Now his last game he dropped like 23 points shooting the ball efficiently from the field.

From what I hear, he doesn't get the ball much because Barea and Ridnour are the ones talking the most shots, which I can't speak on because I have never seen the Timberwolves play a season game yet. I am just not into them, because of all those injuries.

Personally I think this guy is solid, and will help contribute to the Timberwolves effort to get back into the playoffs this season. I definitely don't think he's a bust, and maybe if Rubio was healthy we could see better production from him.



Any thoughts? I am only asking because this guy was a #2 pick in last year draft and he has been fairly inconsistent.

Hes solid, I can see the TWolves trading him because of Adelmon doesnt seem to like his game all that much.

Why is that? I mean this is his only his second year and he's had some great games.There are some bad games that he also had, which would have you scratching your head, but that all goes hand in hand with developing and identify in the NBA. I think it would be ridiculous to trade this guy. Especially to a team with a great PG.

I agree on not trading him, his talent is there. Its just ben rumored that the TWolves would be willing to part ways with him. Tried to get Harden for a package around him but okc denied.

There's no minutes for him once Love comes back. That's the problem.

No minutes once love comes back is true. Williams wants to b a sf but coach plays him at pf. He might get minutes at sf now since budinger is out.
