re you sure KJ Williams started games for OKC?


u right Mcgrath I misrepresented that - KJ is G-League my bad I was wrong. But I'd have taken him over Reath at that relative time and so would have anyone else.

Also KJ and Trae were 2 guys that McMahon brought in.


Of course, they were two of his better players and he was giving them both a chance to play in the SEC, easy sell. He brought the other one over and kept playing him even though he sucked and even took him back after he sulked an kept playing him.....one of the things I think we all can agree was a error he made in his year one learing exprience and I would say he learned well...credit to him he didn't put up with that shite with a much more talented player in Cook.

If you are trying to make a case that Adam Miller, Mwani, and Justice Williams somehow equate to a full roster with at least some talent at every position, you are too far gone.


I think you went too far with your "really good players" too. Hell I'd say Fountain and Epps are very comparable players and Fountain was a deep bench player at State that would have gone to any SEC team that would offer. Epps and Fountain played both 4 years in the SEC and averaged virtually the identical PPG over that span.

You seem to think I'm trying to dog CMM in comparison to WW. I'm not. I'm just pushing back on your comment that WW inherited alot of talent and I will every time you make that comment.

The options at point were J Hill, J Will, and Cam Hayes. None were SEC level pg's. And all were made worse when Adam Miller couldn't hit jumpers. Unfortunately, those were the options. And Hill left briefly after he was moved to the bench.

You keep saying that but no one has said that in this thread. It is just you and Gus trying to massively undersell what Wade had while building up players that McMahon added as if they were sitting on the roster.
