Seems to me our biggest challenge to beating the Warriors is finding someone who can defend KD well. I’ve yet to see someone who can the past couple of seasons as his gave has evolved to a different level.

That was the only reason the Kawhi trade interested me, really.

Jaylen Brown showed promise especially in the Home game last season vs Warriors. But sample size too small.

The incredible length and athleticism of Williams certainly has to be considered a potential weapon for neutralizing KD. Maybe not this season, but at some point.

Rockets put Cappella on him with mixed results.

Curious what others think about this idea?

But who was Dewayne Dedmon?

 I get what you are saying as he has the tools physically. The speed the reach and the hops. The tools are there.  But having his head in the game enough to take advantage of these tools is a big question mark.

Kryptonite for a retired Keyon Dooling. Absolutely!

this is why i am looking forward to watching him in summer league, camp, and the regular season. my main hope is to see him develop as a nba player this year. if he can actually contribute to wins, then fantastic, but a bonus to me.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Baby steps with Robert Williams. He should first learn how to get out of bed on time.

I'm high on Williams, but that was funny and perhaps, sadly, true.
