Wiseman is gonna be a problem

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

unfortunately it may not help steph's legacy,

They weren’t going to win the chip with Wiseman or make a run even if Klay didn’t get injured. They ended up with an unfortunate circumstance of having a top 2 pick in a terrible draft.

There was also weren’t getting a difference maker in return with the pick even if they tried to trade it.

The other day I said GS should package Wiseman for Harden...Maybe I was jumping the gun on that.

You've already been called out by another poster for posting this lie, so why are you still doing it?

It’s not a lie. You said he would be better than Wiseman for this team, which is flat out idiotic.

For all of Ayton's offensive prowess (he's significantly more polished on offense than Wiseman is at the same age), he was legitimately one of the worst defensive bigs in his rookie season. The Suns were going through a rebuilding period that season too, so he had a longer leash, one that won't be afforded to someone like Wiseman.

Even if the Warriors do draft Wiseman, it's hard to see any scenario where he ends up playing a pivotal role with the spacing restrictions that Draymond and he will have in lineups. It's partly the reason why they're targetting versatile wings because they can't afford to have redundancy on the court with two players (Draymond + x-big man) who aren't reliable shooters. EDIT: And it's why I like the potential fit of someone like Deni, because he's 6-10 and has shown the potential and work ethic to shoot lights out. That's the type of player the Warriors need to make the most of their current window.

“I think a lot of guys who are not in the team or not in basketball don’t understand some things about the shot. The shot is not always about your technique. I think my technique is good. I just think that people don’t see the surroundings, so, people forget that I was young. I was going through a team with a lot of experience, with a lot of pressure, with a lot of fans every night. I played several kinds of minutes. Sometimes less, sometimes more, sometimes there’s more pressure. It was kind of ups and downs in the shot. I think towards the end I felt very comfortable in the team, and that’s the main reason why I think I shot better. I think my confidence raised, and I felt better. And the guys made me feel better. I can shoot. I’m a great shooter. ... If I couldn’t shoot, I wouldn’t shoot 3′s. But as long as I shoot, I’m confident, and I’m trying to make every shot I can.” - Avdija.


"Since the restart, Avdija has shot 44% from behind the arc on 4.1 attempts per game"

One thing you have to remember is that all these young cats in the Euroleague/IBSL get fluctuating, limited minutes, where they aren't getting consistent reps and looks where their percentages are reflective of their shooting abilities. Ever since he's been getting regular, significant minutes and playing more of a role this season he's been shooting lights out.

It remains to be seen if he can translate over to the NBA but he's the type of player that fits the Warriors identity more than someone like Wiseman does.

I've been scanning through full games of Avdija over the last few weeks (FIBA, EuroLeague, IPL) and dude is legit, even more so than I initially thought.

He seemingly makes the right play on every possession, on both ends. He has an incredible understanding and level of activity off-the-ball to get himself open, identifies when to take advantage of mismatches (even in the post) and when to feed the hot-hand, runs the break like a man possessed, can interchange between a primary and secondary initiator extremely well, finishes strong, has a BBIQ well beyond his years (impressive discipline on defense, particularly in terms of verticality and knowing when to make the right rotation to provide help), and has mental toughness seeping out his skin.

Deni is Warriors basketball. Wiseman is not.

just needed all the stupid takes in one place

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about him. And it's not that I didn't think he would be any good, I just didn't think he for with GS.

After the BK game I said he was the second best player on the team. As long as Kerr continues to find ways for him to score, they'll be alright.

Wiseman has already shown that is the truth and the unicorn title was rightfully bestowed upon him. He's not even 10 games into his career and has absolutely no problem pulling it from 3 if he's open.

 

[FaTaL]

Wiseman is playing on pure talent right now, he doesn’t even understand defensive rotations or the offense. Dray will help him the most

 

[ISO]

This simple ass nikka just said they weren't the same play.

Wiseman blocked the shot, he also looked a lot more fluid and guard like up the floor he was really pounding the basketball, he also shook the defender with that euro-like gather and dunked.

JaVale’s shyt was a lot more gangly, loose, and clumsy with poorer defense.

They’re the same in that they were both coast to coasts.

 

[Shadow King]

I'm sure any journalist saying "slightly better Javale" was helping him by being conservative instead saying he's the next Embiid/Jokic to a fan base that thought they're reviving a dynasty.

Made a similar thread Saturday that flopped. Wiseman has shown bigtime flashes

Exactly and got the nerve to call someone simple

The weirdo wannabe Malta so bad but his hoop knowledge is absolutely embarrassing

Stop it.

They were the same play. The minute differences are inconsequential to the point of why that JaVale play was posted.

He's not shown anything yet. He's had some flashes of good play, but then nearly every rookie has. He's been poor overall on the defensive end, and made some shots when he was open - mixed in with a lot of horrible shots that haven't even looked like going in.
