All those starts they were linked to and ended up with Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell.
:mjgrin:



Yeah two of the best perimeter defenders in the game for a 36 year old with a broken Jumper :mjlol:

Now Bam and Ware will do even more damage on D

Herro and Robinson won't be exhausted on defense since Mitchell will guard the best guards

Yeah Riley's washed

Warriors won't win the title with this move but at least they have given themselves to be competitive most nights. And with the right matchups and good luck they could win a series or two if everything breaks right for them. Lot of wishful thinking though.

It makes them better, but not better to where they'll be contending.

The other real downside to Jimmy in this offense is that he doesn't stretch the floor, which they've been in desperate need of all season. But that can be mitigated somewhat by the fact that he knows how to survey the floor to a far greater degree than Wiggins did. He's aggressive, whereas Wiggins isn't. He can get to the FT line and stop the bleeding, which has been one of the team's weak spots for a minute, which Wiggins rarely ever aided in (never mind the fact he's a terrible FT shooter).

He's a competent secondary playmaker, whereas Wiggins isn't. He can get his own when the game slows down in the 4th, which has been an ailment of their offense in the clutch this season, whereas Wiggins struggled to have any real impact when they needed a bucket down the stretch.

He generally has a much higher BBIQ than Wiggins too, so the offense should flow more organically once he gets settled.

Having another alpha on the team will also means opposition teams will treat them with more respect, and that should help alleviate some of the pressure that Steph has been under this year. Now Steph will have someone else that the defense has to focus on, and not have all eyes on him.
Jimmy's one of the smartest cats in the league, so it'll be like having a super-charged Iggy on the team. The Warriors have been missing those type of high BBIQ players for a while. Too many dumbass muh'fukkas or inexperienced players have really fukked up how their system functions.

I think that'll be the biggest improvement that the entire team will end up benefitting from - that natural order of chaos that has been synonymous with Warriors basketball.
No coincidence that the system is back to what it originally looked like in the first game that Jimmy even plays.

You know you my dawg @Flight but Wiggins really was holding this team back.

Jimmy is simply on another level.

:hubie:
