Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

Yeah, I think Green can become a Diaw for sure. I hate him even more for that lol. But, respect.

As for Klay........ yeah, I think the first thing they need to do is drop the "splash brothers" thing altogether. Let him be his own person. He's a shooter, but is guarding the Harden's of the world, while Steph guards......... who the hell does he guard!? His outside shooting is nuff said, but I like his inside game too. We've seen him not settle for the long ball, attack or back opponents down especially if there's a mismatch.

Klay is like Danny green but a better offensive player but green is a better d person
Klay is his own guy

Draymond my god if he becomes like diaw peeps don't realize diaw is a major X factor for the Spurs cuz he can do it all once they used him for thunder it made us facing them not as hard as it use too be cuz he is a mismatch nightmare which draymond can become

If Green ever reaches Diaw status.........

I get what yall are saying, but Green is already past being Diaw status. His impact is far greater than Diaw's ever was. There really isn't a player whom he can reach a status of - he's quite literally one of a kind.

Yeah, not sure why people don't see it, the defense, shooting & playmaking from the PF position are pretty much one off.

Its a breakout year last season for Draymond, maybe I'm just not remembering it. I know if Diaw get a mismatch down low, he's gonna post up, bang and most likely score of kick out for an open 3 point shot. But yeah, as far as cutting to the basket, shooting the three, passing abilities..... they both do that well. Maybe Draymond better on defense?

But I still feel Diaw is the better impact player for his squad, and don't be drawing dumb techs, and he been doing it for a while now.

Edit I think I put Diaw over Green cuz he's coming off the bench. So its' like gotdayum, the second unit is going just as ham if not even more ham than the starting unit.

It's kinda how I feel but green is better defensive no question and has better offense but diaw uses it more better than green in my eyes cuz of his veteran leadership
I need too see green do it longer is my only knock pretty much

Green stats no doubt show it but I feel Diaw Impact correction both have a big impact on each teams but give edge to diaw with green a higher ceiling once he plays longer in the league I can see him going to another level with less mistakes

I just wracked my brain for like 10 minutes, then went online and did some digging to compare statistics

Seasons where a guy got at least 13/8/7 and shot 38% or better from 3:

draymond is basically a better shooting lamar odom, lamar had a few 14/9/5 type seasons but shot around 30% from three

Draymond's crazy right now. Still DPOY level good defensively and putting up 12-8-7 and improving his outside shooting

Warriors have some of the most unique players in the league. Curry and Draymond obviously, but Livingston's a throwback in terms of playing style on offense, Iggy as the non-scoring star (though he's still shooting very well), Bogut's special in that he's a better passer than given credit for (one of the most aware passers at C in the league) and is one of the most defensively impactful players in the league (limited minutes so wouldn't put him above Gobert/Leonard/Draymond etc). Team is borderline flawless right now

Livingston never developed that shot tho. He was my favorite player b4 injury I'm still a big fan. Bogut was always known as a great passer it's the biggest reason he was taken #1 overall. He was getting comparison to Brad Miller.

we're witnessing the greatest shooter in the history of the nba play in his prime. as much as i want bron to win one for cleveland, gsw 3 peating would be ridiculous. they're so fukking stacked.

 

[Point Blank]

Parsons scoring early, good to see.

Anthony Mason with a jumper

Nah, Mason couldn't guard perimeter players as well as Dray can.
