This jibes with what the ESPN Insider who got the best of the trade post said too. This guy will probably be a Go Go player but we desperately need somebody that can play some ****ing defense.

Going Commando Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I wonder if they like Wagner at the 4 instead of the 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against some teams he'll be able to stay with the opposing four, or reserve four, and in that position he would add some length while still spacing the floor. Much of defense has always been about matchups, but these days with skill being valued so much higher than size it seems like coaches have more options than before. The opposing fours could be a physical monster like Blake Griffin or a guy that a few years ago would never be seen as anything but a wing.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I love you guys. The second best player on Gonzaga = Japanese Freak. Jemerrio Jones = New Bruce Bowen. Tommy Shepherd = Post Modern Darryl Morey. It's all happening. Seriously, I am giddy for the 3 game winning streak in January that has McQueen talking title for 2021. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he can handle that? Offensively, I think he could make more sense at the 4 since he's a face up player. I think he's got a little bit of a PnR game, but pick and pops are his best plays. He's kind of a poor man's Olynyk. If he's playing the five, you'll have a spaced floor but you also won't rebound well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Clarke is a tenacious defender and a great athlete, but look around the league and tell me how many star forwards are 6’8 with a 6’8 wingspan that can neither shoot or dribble the ball well? There’s a place in the league for great defenders, but early in the draft teams are looking for players with more clear cut star potential.

Going Commando Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Rui is a bigger talent than Clarke, but Clarke had a better season than him and I think its a fair argument to say he's a better player today. His efficiency numbers were almost as crazy as Zion's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 If Rui starts killing it, can we rightfully now yell HIBACHI when he scores? I mean, it makes more sense than it did for Arenas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about Otto & Oubre, they were both young assets at a premium position, and we're not maximizing returns at all.

Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert were absolute steals. Dinwiddie was a really nice find. They built a nice little foundation of drafted players and cleared their cap and a perfect storm in free agency formed up for them. It's impressive. I'd like to poach some of their odd man out talent off of them. I want us to sign Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Ed Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oubre was traded to try and save Ernie's ass by getting Ariza but then Wall went down for good and that was that. I also think we did it because we didn't want to pay Oubre this summer. And I think we were right to make that call. He wasn't playing well or progressing here. He was still a below replacement level player. The Otto trade was a pure salary dump. The team was finished and the ownership group wanted to get out of paying a **** ton of luxury tax. It sucks and I hate the move, but that's what happened. It wasn't a strategic move to improve the team. It was purely about saving money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
