The problem with your argument is that Wiltjer wasn't expected to do anything but shoot in the 2012 season. And he did well I might add. This past season (since he was supposed to be "talented") he was expected to shoot, defend, and rebound due to the lack of players and experience on the team. It's not like he absolutely can't do these things. He just can't do them with the minimal body preparation and effort he has given.

No one is arguing with you or anyone else about his talent level. The argument is his questionable (at best) effort. Talent is nothing if the effort is lacking (see Alex Poythress).

Some of you can't understand why people say "he ain't playing next season". To put it bluntly, if he continues to give the half-ass effort then he sure as hell ain't playing next season.

I agree with you about Kyle, he done great as a role player. This year he was relied to heavily upon. It's no secret KW is slow, & weak. Due to this he can't create his own offense & we didn't have the guards who could penetrate & give him a decent pass for an open three.

It became evident he can't be relied on like he was this year. Had Poythress, played better Cal wouldn't have had to play Kyle so much. But no matter the amount of time, Kyle didn't put forth the physical effort to play the minutes he did.

So Kyle suffered out guards couldn't penetrate or throw a good pass to set up Kyle's shot & Kyle couldn't play defense or offense. Kyle is better served playing under 15 minutes a game at this point. With Randle coming in & if Poythress stays/we get Wiggins, Kyle will get to go back to a role player & benefit greatly. As well if the Harrison twins can actually penetrate to draw defense rather than throw a crazy shot & hope for a foul, that'd be a plus for Kyle.

With the talent coming in, Kyle will be much more of a player & asset to the team than most think. He'll be the scoring spark off the bench, that we may need at times. I still stand firm in saying Kyle will make the NBA as a shooter & a role player because he can hit open 3's. Steve Novak has faired well in NY doing so, Kyle can too. It helps a big shooter like Novak or Wiltjer if the guards can get you open. However, Kyle still needs to work harder, get quicker, & put some muscle on his frame.
