Not interested in Beal despite leading the lesgue this season in scoring. I predict Wiggins will have the best season of his career next season and experience the full gravity of splash bros open new things for him. He was playing with very little spacing back in Timberwolves.

Just glad to see Chriss becoming better, in at least a few aspects, and not just content with his status on the roster. I think you said it a year ago, what if Chriss becomes Draymond's heir. I highly doubt Chriss reaches the Bball IQ that Draymond has to become an all time great defender, but he'll more than bring the fire the Warriors need when Draymond goes full Klutch mode. Either way, just glad Willie the Scammer isn't here.

Not to get off-topic, but what about all this chatter about getting Bradley Bea, Alch? I like Beal's offensive game but the price would be steep and his D is kind of suspect. It looks like we'd have to give up WIgggnis and our 2020 pic and the Minessota 2021 pick to get him. Maybe better to keep Wiggins and those picks -- that Min 2021 pick could be a high one (I am not all that optimistic about the D'lo and Kat combo working out.

Good take! Yeah if Ky was Caruso’s size he’d be.. well like Caruso! I think JTA is a classic example of just not quite having the athleticism for the league. Things he can do in the G league are just no longer there for him when he is amongst nba athletes.

That Taylor guy sheeessshh he came outta no were but he wet like watta. I don’t think Simmons is it unless he has good defense. I still like Allen and the more he plays the smarter he will be.I think Juan is a great do a lil everything type player that is gonna be a glue guy. Dlee idk with how Poole looking but good bench guy can help players cuz he was in same position as many of them. Poole looking better and better which is what I like to see. Chriss the same thing. Kevon nice to see him getting back into it. Moulder idk and Ky idk If they make it. I feel like we could get a vet guard for cheap. We need defense and a certified shooter on the bench. I think mínimums could fill that somewhat. Also if the warriors keep there picks who gonna end up starting cuz they have a couple 2nd rounded will those guys go to the g league? Trade or keep we r chilling and gonna be fighting next year. I think we can run with anyone next year. I think a bench wing 3/d type guy, vet guard to handle and be a leader, and a big body at center off bench in case we need it, is what we need. Two of those things i could see us getting on a minimum but that 3/D role is Gonna be tougher. Curry,klay,Wiggins,Dray, Chriss. Poole, lee, Juan, pascall, Kevon, Allen.....Mabey Taylor, Ky, moulder. Who knows I think I’m forgetting someone but that’s a rough outline. Trade or keep warriors all the way!!!!!!!

Damion led in PIPM and net rating on GSW, both of which Draymond came in 2nd by a decent margin. Say what you will but that's not luck over 45 game sample size.

Ky is just too small. If Kemba Walker is getting his lunch eaten as an All-Star, I don't see us having room or minutes for Ky. This especially with Poole taking a backup PG slot. Simmons looks destined for China with his suspect handle and mediocre at best everything else. I think we're saddled with D Lee for at least this season due to the Curry connection and the amount of emotional capital he built up with Kerr during the 2020 gap year. First time ever seeing Taylor, but I already like him better than D Lee. I'm not sure if JTA or Mulder are good enough at the things they're supposed to be good at to earn a roster spot. JTA is supposed to be a wing defender and looks average in this glorified G-league scrimmage. Mulder's ball handling and play making aren't enough to make up for the fact that he is really only a spot up shooter right now.
On the plus side, I am super optimistic for Poole and Chriss. Both look comfortable in the flow of the game and look to be much more confident after taking their lumps last season. Both are looking to prove something, and they both should benefit from playing with an actual NBA caliber lineup this season.
Looney is Looney, and all I want for Christmas is for him to be healthy. Seeing Harden pass the ball rather than try and take Looney 1v1 in the playoffs was straight sex, and I think he will bring a steadiness to the other young players as they integrate into a full Warriors squad.
Smiley? Meh, not going to lose sleep over him this year.

Alch, do you think our increasing number of younger players is a concern? In the Dub's championship runs we had a lot of experienced vets like Andre and Shawn. Will having 5 or 6 young players hinder us this upcoming season?

I think we give Should keep Bowman, just because he can score and is tenacious on the other end for a point guard (assuming we don’t draft a PG at #2). I think there is a bigger reason why the Spurs gave Simmons up.
John
2020-10-20 20:10:38 +0000 UTC
I truly believe in Ky, he will serve well as a third or fourth guard, I just value his defense and tenacity over everything else he does and I think it is pretty rare to find guys like him that everything starts on the defensive end. I hope he makes the squad.

Poole for surely needs to be our back up pg/combo guard.. Am I trippin or does Chriss have the potential to be Lebron-esque with his size, passing ability and athleticism (needs to work on that handle and body control) but he definitely has the tools to be as great as he wants. We should definitely put Ryan Taylor on the team solely just for his shooting ability and he doesn’t look like a bad defender. I’m trying to figure out why Damion Lee should make the team, he plays too sloppy at times. Looney looking like Playoff Looney out there. I like Bowman’s defense enough to have him on the team and he looks like he’s improved his midrange game. We should definitely draft Wiseman just because of his star potential and it could possibly address the Anthony Davis problem. The front office better not overthink this one.
