Wes Johnson's NBA Week Summed Up In Two Videos

by Sean Keeley on Nov 4, 2010 4:29 PM EDT

The good news is, Wes Johnson got his "Welcome To The NBA" moment already so it's all uphill from here.

Wes has a lot of work to do, the NBA's a different animal than college. He's going to need to work on a lot of facets of the game, chief among them is being on the same page with his teammates. That applies to the high-post as much as it applies to the low-five.

It'll come with time, Wesley.

He's actually been doing quite well overall it seems.

I remember the Wolves fans being really down on him when he was drafted, but most, if not all, of them seem to have come around to appreciating him. I’m seeing plenty enthusiasm for him over at Canis Hoopus now that the season has started. I think the big thing is he apparently developed some ball control and can make plays with the ball in his hands. And his defense has been good all along, which is always appreciated.

I'm not a big Lebron fan

but I am a big fan of his crazy blocks. Too bad it had to happen to Wes!

Other people look, Andy Rautins can SEE.

Sup Cuse

I’m from Ithaca and go to school at the U of Maryland but I have always loved SU bball. Just wanted to say I love this blog think it’s hilarious. I think SU is gonna have an ill team this year. My dude over at TestudoTimes is sometimes a bit too serious if you ask me lol. Watched Wes the other night and thought he looked pretty good all things considered. He might be trying to do too much but at the same time he doesn’t have a lot of teammates to work with. Just wanted to show some love keep up the good work go orange

Just laughed outloud at my desk

accidentally at the extreme awkwardness of that scene. My co-worker asked me what was so funny and I had my own awkward moment trying to make something up. I don’t think she’d appreciate me watching NBA clips at my desk.

The awkward high (or low, I guess) five isn't Wes' fault

Whenever there’s an awkward hand slap of any kind it’s automatically the white guys fault.

Reminds me of this classic

from Andrew Bogut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx7W2Qc__uo&feature=related

(Sorry for terrible video quality, this honestly looks like a .gif or something)

It's the most bullshit thing I've seen in thirty years.

Let’s. All be honest. the twolves. Are the worst. The fans. Are 90percent douches. I hope. They trade flynn and johnson and let them out of their misery. Ps. I went to. Nba summer league and. Minnesota. Turned flynn into a dick. He was trying to get wes to be a dick too. I lurk out the canishoopus forum quite a bit. And I have been pissed for. .over year since flynn and rubio where drafted. By the twolves. The whole organization is chaos and should fold. Rambis sucks hard too. Makes me want to puke. When. Their assinine fans. Hate on wes and flynn. They r starting to come around on wes. But. Still so much hate for flynn. F minnesota. Go orange. Ps typed this with thumbs. Lol.
