Jason Terry has a GREAT work ethic, Deron.

"If he's coming off a screen on one side and Matt [Harpring] is coming off a screen on one side, who do you think you're going to pass to?" Williams said.
You think you're going to pass to the guy you see working every day in the gym or are you going to pass to the guy who never works on his shot but yet wants to shoot 'em every time?
I love Andrei - like him as a player, like him as a person. He can definitely be a special player for us. But he's not going to average 20 points a game."

No, not if the point guard is being a petty punk. Your job, Deron, is to get everybody involved, not monitor post-practice attendance.

Williams suggested that part of his job next season will be to help Kirilenko regain the confidence he lost last year: "I've got to get him ways to get him more touches, where he's comfortable and not just shooting jumpers because that's really not A.K.'s game. He'll be the first one to tell you that.

So Williams really failed in this part of his job last season?
Wow, just astounding frankness from Williams. Players rarely 'fess up so explicitly to this type of pettiness. Frankly, it's a lot clearer now why AK would want out of there. And even though DW says he wants him back, this kind of talk would seem to make it less likely.
Look south and east, Comrade.
