As a team, they do not have fight. A few players do (Mbakwe, Hollins, Hoff)--but as a team, any attempt to call what they have as being aggressive or putting up a fight is a joke.
How can you possibly say that players like Ralph Sampson and Rodney Williams put up a fight? Even if Ralph puts up good numbers, he is the softest player in the nation and down the stretch I can't imagine a player I would want to have the ball less. How can you not laugh at his face in the last few minutes? He is a deer in headlight. Somehow, his softness and timidness come out even more down the stretch. He is a mediocre player at best. I would much rather have Colt Iverson in down the stretch, cause at least you know he is going to give his all.
Rodney Williams should play 10-15 minutes per game--he simply doesn't possess the basketball IQ, skills or desire to play any more on a winning team. People who think he'll be drafted need a mental evaluation--he will never play in the NBA. Jumping high is one thing, but unfortunately for him basketball involves shooting, dribbling, passing, desire, and at least a somewhat awareness of your surroundings.
Despite the injuries, this is the most embarrassing team in recent history. I appreciated teams in years past that had less talent, but at least gutted it out.
