36ers spotlight: Stephen Weigh

True, anonymous 354019, he is starting and consequently getting more minutes but he's also played most of his first year at his new club injured and his %'s are lower because he's taking more threes than Cat did at that point of his career

I'm not saying he's Cat 2.0 because he's got a long way to go 9plus cat is in my top 5 36ers ever) but the similarities are interesting. The potential is there.

I was hard on Weigh early on these forums and my blog because I felt he played too many long stretches, especially when he was contributing little and Creek was getting no chances. Creek's stats compared over 40 minutes stacked up very well against Weigh's and I felt Clarke made mistakes playing them together when i thought they should have been splitting the SF minutes.

Will be interesting to see how our frontcourt looks for next year but I'm expecting a lift from Weigh in 2012-2013 (assuming he stays).

Clarke confused me , telling us 'Stevie' is the player to drag fans thru the door. Later , re his 32minutes a game : ' He can guard a lotta positions and ya gotta give the young ones a go. '
Seems he rests his foot during the week so he can play
Was Weigh an experiment that didn't work ? Was he pulling our collective legs ?
I still place Weigh among my least favorite sixer.
Like when I was at school , I considered the teacher's pet a phony , just a spoiled kid , and someone I didn't have much in common with.

A very solid pre-season certainly buoyed fans hopes for the regular season.

I hope he stays as I expect an off-season in Adelaide will help him in a similar manner it helped Johnson feel more comfortable and hopefully help improve his performances next season.

Valid post there Forcey.

The biggest difference is that Cattalini was brought in to rebuild a team but wasn't advertised as the "solution" to the team; considering when Cat started, he played behind the likes of Trimmingham, Brunson, Rillie, Maher, Davis, Mee, Brooks etc. etc.

Weigh's biggest issue isn't the "performance" when you compare it to stats, but the "not as advertised" label he has. I remember Weigh getting most of the hype as this golden child to turn the club around.

I think had he just been brought in as "some guy with talent" and the spotlight was forced on Simpson, Warren, Ballinger as expected; then things would be looked upon better.

Your comparisons are very good; Weigh has unfortunately copped the "Wrong place, Wrong Time" attacks.

good to see evryone capitalizing on a good facility there - nice tidy venue.

scoreboard controller looks like an atari.

but it is a better option than st clair (that is bio-degarding nicely with time)

enjoy the trip warriors
