Why is the spectrum only a "super athlete" and a "great shooter"?
Deni doesn't need to become a great shooter on this Warriors squad. He just needs to be able to hit shots when he's put in position, which isn't going to be on any large scale. No different to Wiggins not needing to become a great shooter either. He just needs to hit his shots.
The value he'll provide for this team will be that much-needed stretch forward who can play at the 4 (which is the Warriors greatest need, given that they have no big man who can shoot), and everything else that the Warriors have built their identity on: playmaking, high BBIQ, versatility, defense, off-ball activity, and team-play. And despite him not being a super athlete, he still has high athleticism, which is emphasized more given than he's great in read-and-react situations, which is more important than someone who has off-the-charts athleticism but doesn't know how to read the game.
There's plenty of muh'fukkas in the league who go sky high but can't use that tool properly in actual game situations. It's why you have the likes of Jeremy Evans and Derrick Jones Jr. winning the Dunk contest, but not being able to do shyt in an actual game.
