The issue is that we are talking about now, at this point of this season. I don't want to argue BB IQ as I don't think any of us can really know what it is. From what little I have seen, my impression is that Worthington is a smart gay and has size -- so he may have the upside.

What I know is what I've seen; that he can do okay, not great, against the weaker big men in the WCC but, when he comes up against players like Waldow or Karnowski that he has real problems trying to guard them, particularly without fouling; and that is without mentioning that he has no real offensive game (even against teams with weaker big men).

I think he does try hard and he did allow the other big men a chance to rest last night; additionally he did fight the Zag's bigs for the few minutes he was in, helping to wear them down. At this point, though, he is largely the weakest of the big men and currently appears to have less potential than players like Kaufusi and Andrus -- especially seeing how those last two have progressed through the season. Hopefully a mission will be good for Worthington and he can come back and help the team; though I do think it will be tougher for him considering the bigs we have recruited the last few years.
