Wiltjer could be even better than Erik Murphy if he stays and puts in the work in the weight room. Murphy is a nice player. Any program would be lucky to have a player of that caliber. Murphy owned Wiltjer yesterday. But he's a senior and therein lies the difference. If Kyle works on his body and fills out he can get there. And I think he's got a little more natural ability than Murphy.

Can you give us the article where he said that? Honestly can anybody remember the group he came in with? That was why he came here was because of the talent he was joining so why would next year's group scare him off? If Kyle leaves, I will be surprised but lets not push him out the door because as a junior next year he will be very valuable for us.

Wasn't an article and he didn't say it. It was something someone here (May have been Chris, JDrum or Matt) saying they were hearing if Cal brought in more inside players that Wiltjer might consider a transfer. Can't link it or quote it. Possibly Chris or Matt may recall. Remember it though, because I over-reacted to the rumor of him possibly considering leaving after just one year and got torched for it.

Disagree, Harrelson wasn't a very fast player and his foot speed wasn't any faster than Kyle's. The problem I see is that Kyle needs to be able to guard the opposing teams center but isn't currently strong enough. He isn't fast enough in our defense to switch between threes and four like he does now and isn't strong enough to guard the five. If he puts on say 30 pounds of muscle and can play the five and guard the five like Harrelson he becomes a matchup nightmare. He has post moves, can pass, dribble drive,and jump shoot better than Harrelson. Imagine now if he could bang and play physical like Harrelson. I think he could definitely contribute maybe start in year four and make an NBA roster.

Nobody had a scouting report? Huh? By the middle of the season everybody knew when he came in that he was going to shoot. It has a ton to do with the talent around him.
Just be patient. He's made progress this year. Hopefully he makes more next year. If he does, compelled with the talent we have next year he will probably take another big jump.

Little late on this but it makes ZERO sense for him to transfer and sit out a year.. If you speak to NBA Scouts/GM's and I know someone who has him transferring makes less sense than just coming out for the draft and going 2nd round. He has a unique skill and would get picked. Would more than likely get a 2nd round guarantee if he chose to do so. Its not as whacky as many fans believe. They arent seeing the bigger picture.

I just don't get that people can't see that Wiltjer is not potentially an NBA player. He has just not matured physically at this time, but he will. Once he does, he will get stronger and quicker which are his too weakest points right now. He already can handle the ball, pass, shoot, and probably has the best idea of court spacing on the team. It is a little disappointing that he hasn't had more Ole Miss type games but he showed in the first half of that game what potential he does have if he puts it all together.
