Golly those stats are ugly! It looks like he had a few good games with Seattle towards the end of the season but over all he seems like a dud. Hopefully we won’t see much of him.

There will be plenty of times where Turk will run the point allowing Sweet to slide back to the three and Batman to fill in at the four. Turk is our best playmaker anyway. The ? is what will happen when he is traded this year. The Magic have to know his trade value won’t get much higher and that we can’t continue to play Sweet out of position, no matter how much we paid him. Yes he may be a mismatch on offense for the opposing four, but he is also a liability on the defensive end. He is too finese to bang with the big boys. That’s why we pay Batman and the other thumpers.

I’m not sure it was even worth signing Wilks. What does he bring that a 10 day contract won’t bring?

Feels like Otis Smith was aiming too low on this one. Why not give Juan Dixon a call? Or give Shaun Livingston a trial run? Or bring Darrell Armstrong back who gave the Nets good minutes for a third string point last season even at his advanced age. Bring someone in who at least has a shot of contributing something.

I doubt Wilks makes it through the season. Probably be gone by January.

On the positive side I remember reading several reports of him being considered a likable guy in the locker room in previous stops (Seattle, Minny, Houston).
