I'm glad we didn't have him last year though. It was addition by subtraction. I doubt we would have made the NIT with him.

    It's sad that with a team with Wroten, Wilcox and Ross that Gaddy led that fucking team in minutes played.

    Yet all the Doogs were defending Gaddy and making it seem like Wroten was holding our team back.

    I really really hate our fans.

    Hi there.

    Wroten was terrible that year. Walking turnover who played no defense. He was incredible against elite competition (Duke, UA) and worthless against everyone else.

    I wanted him to come back because other than Venoy every headcase we've had under Romar has matured, but I've never seen anyone less interested in playing defense than freshman Tony Wroten. Add in he was almost as good at drawing fouls as he was at missing free throws and He deserved every ounce of criticism he received.

    Wroten was not terrible. He was an All Pac 12 player. I don't agree about him deserving the criticism. He had many flaws, but was still pretty good.

    The Pac-12 was a fucking dreckfest that year. Wroten was despite his flaws the 3rd or fourth best player in the conference that year.

    He was pretty good for UW, his assist totals would have been a lot better if Aziz could actually finish.

    I could not possibly disagree more. Wroten's talent was evident, but I've never seen a more frustrating player. I couldn't believe Romar gave him 30 minutes a game.

    Mike Jensen and Abdul Gaddy say hi.

    I don't think anyone would say he wasn't frustrating. The best players play, and Wroten was surely one of the best players. At times, he was our best player. Did you consult with BFallenB before your posts?

    Jensen and Gaddy never had a tenth of Wroten's talent, but they at least attempted to do something when they were on the court.

    Wroten was fantastic when he felt like the game warranted his effort. He'll probably be pretty damn good in the NBA.

    He was a disaster his frosh year. His true shooting percentage was unfathomably bad, he had more turnovers than assists as an alleged point guard, he was the worst defensive player I've ever seen not named Martin Breunig. The only reason he got all conference is because he had nice point totals.

    Aziz was a lot better finisher than Wroten was.

    I don't remember anything about bfallenb but if he hated Wroten's play at UW, he had something right.

    I agree he was our best player in flashes, but he was our worst player far more often than not. He wouldn't have played 30 minutes a game if I was coaching, that's for sure.
