Warriors vs Wolves Preseason GM-1

We back in action!

Tre

ARon said the same thing. Maybe it is one of those things where I saw it and it just laid in my subconscious. I remember when we might face Min in the first rd last year it was on my mind.

Missed this comment yesterday! Good hear form you Jansen! Your right about Bell. In my level up on him I mentioned Shawn Marion as a good model for him. Never had to run a play for him, never took more than 3 dribbles still scored double digits his whole career. I can tell you right now Derekison just doesn't have NBA athleticism. He plays like a wing but doesn't move well enough laterally and doesn't have the length to make up for it.

Ill definitely speak on it as the preseaon goes on. Ill tell you right now

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks! I got to get in a routine with the new format, there is a pint where I am compromising the quality for quantity. But there should be some windows in the schedule, specific big games I can do.

Athletic Alchemy

Bro love what you're doing with the new direction -- just a thought, but I'd easily pay 5x per month to see these per game analysis videos on more playoff contending teams.

Nikhil Buduma

Hey alch maybe a quick video on the candidates for the open spot ?

Ken Bradford

What’s up coach, on the part you were talking about taj Gibson, dray actually admitted that taj is the only forward he can’t figure out during the little sit down interview with nick young last season

Thoughts on Marcus Derrickson? I really like his game. He was one of the only players in summer league that played consistently well. He also played well last night. I think he deserves the two way spot over Kendrick Nunn if not a roster spot if Patrick McCaw decides not to come back.

AHHHHHHHHHH* the sigh of relief. It is good to be back! It was nice to hear the crowd again and Jim Barnett's voice. Welcome back to the season AA! Cant wait the roller coaster ahead! 1. To start off, all the starters looked great. Curry and Klay were in midseason form already. KD and Draymond were playmaking better than they were scoring. And surprise surprise, Jones held his own (mostly) vs. one of the best in the league in KAT. Obviously he's still young and has a LOT to work on and improve, but if he can continue getting serious minutes against bigs, I think he will be a great replacement for Javale's vertical prowess. 2. Bell, Livingston all played pretty well. I expect Bell to continue improving each day. I think he tries to do too much at times and he just needs to be a little more simple. Take what the defense gives you and just finish the play. 3. LOOK AT ANDRE IGUODALA. That man loves playing opossum. Here I am thinking "Damn he's old now and has to coast the whole season to even have enough energy for the playoffs." And there he goes high flying like he's 26 again. hahaha that was the best play of the night by far. 4. Nunn and Derekison (???) both can score. They are rough around the edges but I wouldnt mind one of them taking the final roster spot. 5. Jerebko looked......underwhelming. But its still early and I think he'll be fine. I do want to see more from him though. Supposedly got him for 3pt shooting and defense??? I didnt really see any of that last night. 6. What are your thoughts on Tyler Ulis? Tbh Im not sure. He's tiny so sort of a defensive liability. But idk. He's pretty quick. 7. Evans was alright. Offensively he was meh. Not too shabby but not great. But defensively he was very nice. Really hope he can be morphed into the next Iguodala (without the athleticism of course....which is a huge shame). 2.

Jansen E

🙏🏽

Very encouraged by what I saw from Evans. Nunn has NBA attributes and the size to play combo.

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks!

1. I was impress with Bell last night, I think he's over passing there was one play where split defense and instead of taking it to the rack getting a 2 of a foul he passed it Evans(I think) under the basket. 2. I feel a bit more postive about Evans 3. Damian kinda remind me JB in the Season opener vs The Rockects, some good some bad. When Jones tried to post up KAT I could think about how he kept getting stripped in SL and sure enough the lost the ball. 4.I still really like Nunn, I think he could be really good for us maybe put him at the 2?

"...out of nowhere we get APRIL IGOUDALA IN OCTOBER!!!" Glad to see you back, Alch!

Nikolai Kochukov

Oh man! GREAT to have you back narrating games! I missed this.

Jerebco looks slow.

Steven Stanley

I think he is too slow and undersized for todays game. Guy with his built needs to be a positional player. Yet he seems to play like a face up big. He can stroke it and will probably have a nice G league career. I don't see him being able to hang with NBA athletes unless he does something drastic to his body.

Athletic Alchemy

Alc, what are your thoughts on Marcus Derrickson ?

Paul Byun

I think thats the root of Butler wanting out. Tibs kills the fun and that aint helping with the two softies

Athletic Alchemy

Jerekbo and Evans need to be good.

Athletic Alchemy

The wolves looking good this season, they acquired some key pieces. But I just really don't think KAT has that fight in him.

adrian salazar

I think Jones will start all the preseason games but if he doesn’t improve, I certainly vote for Bell to be the starter. He is just has more energy and understands what the the other players want to do. Jonas, I’m more concentrated in his defense. I think his 3 balls will come.

Despite the youth, I think this might be the weakest the bench as ever been

He just big boys him like no other! Tolliver is 33-34 he's got fresh legs right now, lets see how he holds up with Tibs.

Athletic Alchemy

Jones dumber than javale, cook was just letting it fly and jonas three does look slow. I really like house so if McCaw is gone we should get him out Derrickson

In a video last year with Dray and Swaggy interviewing each other, Draymond actually admitted that Taj Gibson was the one player he can’t quite figure it. But man, Wolves got a steal in Tolliver in my opinion. The dude still hitting consistent 3’s
