Peanut’s understudy ready to lead Kennedy’s boys’ basketball team With graduation of four-year starter, Cavs turn to junior Robert Wilson n

Robert Wilson doesn’t get out much. Unlike most 15- or 16-year olds about to become big, bad, high school upperclassmen, Wilson isn’t soaking at a pool or lazing around houses playing video games. No, there is one spot where you will find the John F. Kennedy High School point guard nearly every day this summer, from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m., and that’s in the gym or the weight room. Wilson is slated to become Kennedy’s first new starting point guard in five years. He replaces the graduated, Marcus ‘Peanut’ Murray, who left some Sasquatch-sized shoes for him. But Wilson, a junior, didn’t just begin his training this past summer. He has been Murray’s apprentice for the past two years, making sure to guard him every single practice, studying his every move during games, waiting for the opportunity to come. “It was a great learning experience, watching him and learning the things he does, how well he sets up teammates before he would set up himself,” Wilson said. When Wilson’s first chance did come, in a Christmas tournament hosted by Sherwood this past season, the pressure of filling in for the sick Murray, who was coach Diallo Nelson’s first four-year starter, didn’t consume him. The sophomore averaged eight assists per game, dropped in a few points here and there and led the Cavaliers to the tournament title despite Murray, the team’s leading scorer, not playing. “He ran the offense,” Nelson said. “He didn’t try anything, making plays he’s unaccustomed to making, and that’s what he does best on the basketball court. He’s not flashy, he’s not dunking or doing anything nice. He reminds me of the NBA back in the ’80s with John Stockton. He’d have like, 15 assists, and you were like ‘What?’” Nelson said he knew that Murray, now playing for Assumption College in Massachusetts, would have four seasons and then be gone. So the grooming process for Wilson began early, as a freshman pulled up to varsity at the end of the year. “I look at Robert and I
“He had no better experience than playing basketball every day against one of the best point guards in the area.” — John F. Kennedy High School boys’ basketball coach Diallo Nelson on his new starting point guard, Robert Wilson think ‘OK,’” Nelson said. “I’ve been coaching for 14 years. I knew I wasn’t going to have Marcus forever. [Robert] has always been playing against older guys. His skill level is good and now he’s starting to grow. He had no better experience than playing basketball every day against one of the best point guards in the area. … You won’t find anyone stronger, anyone quicker, anyone better than Marcus, and that’s going to make you better. That’s a fact.” What practicing daily against Murray could not help him in improving, however, was his height. Wilson stands just a hair taller than his former teammate. “Guards are going to try and body him up,” Murray said. “Whenever they tried to do that to me I was usually faster so I could just go around them.” Wilson conceded that Murray is quicker, but nobody seemed to doubt what the Cavs new starter can do as the full-time point guard. “I think he’s going to be good,” Murray said. “He always wanted to play against me, he was always checking me at practice. He just wanted to get better. He’s got heart. It’s about decision-making, and he makes good decisions.” The most invaluable lesson taken from Murray, though, may be that Wilson understands the thankless position that point guard is. As Nelson puts it, “When you win, the point guard gets some of the credit. When you lose, the point guard gets ALL of the credit. It’s like a quarterback in football. Every year, I’ve had good point guards, and he’s next in line.” tmewhirter@gazette.net
