It is always interesting to view how players respond to unfamilar situations. This can be anything from life on the road to a change in team role, or simple on court struggles, ect..One certain fact about the next level is that players will almost undoubtedly experience more losses in a short pro span than their whole amateur careers combined. When things turn for the worse, players may rely on motivations such as basic basketball pride, family, bread, club obligation. Whatever the source, what results after the adversity will reveal if the individual grew or became better from the experience.
Matt Terwilliger is doing a commendable job of handling himself in what has to be a difficult season. His Paderborn Baskets club has found wins hard to come by in what we feel is an underrated German League. We have not seen any games to diagnose the court struggles, but Paderborns record unfortunately speaks for itself. Yet, second year pro Terwillger is battling through dregs of a losing season the best he can. He has raised his game from last season in minutes, points & boards . His dependability (has played in every game so far) has resulted in 28 big minutes per game. And Twig came through big time for his club on the last day of February 2010. #42 scored 14 points & grabbed 17 rebounds in a thrilling triple overtime victory over TBB Trier. (Brian Brown's former club, see what happens when a Buckeye leaves your club, ya start losing all of a sudden :-) Matt went 5-7 from the field, & knocked down all of his free throws (4-4) He recorded his second doube/double of the season, but overall we are sure he was happy to get a much needed win, because that is what Buckeyes are, winners.
