Grant Williams looks woefully undersized. He looks more polished because he spent 3 years in college. No one else worried how small he looks huh just me?
Carsen is a trigger happy gunnah. Few times he crossed half court he had tunnel vision. I like his quick release and scappy under your skin defense but he he'll need to learn when and when not to let it fly.
Waters has a nice flow to his game but another undersized guy 😔
Yabu will back in Europe maybe a return to the NBA if he ever gets it. No idea what any of you ever saw in this kid.
He did play a lot of minutes next to Tacko but yeah, he is pretty undersized. That didn't seem to be a problem though. He is really good at using his body to keep guys out of stride - of course his strength is no surprise around here.. thought he looked great, and ready for minutes.
Yeah, agree that that was probably Yabu's swan song.
Not worried about Grant's size at all. He is already one of the strongest players in the entire league, and he's smart enough to learn how to use his strength effectively to gain position.
I think what we found out today is that Edwards is a gunner. I saw lots of contested threes, which at least in my book isn’t a good thing.
Disagree. It's not a good thing only if he can't make them.
Yuh, his on-ball defense will probably be fine - he's quite mobile on the perimeter, but he will be outmatched against mobile bigs, down low. He is not Dennis Rodman, he is not Draymond Green.
He boxes out well, but not elite. I think he might be an extremely valuable guy though, despite his limitations, given his contract.
People need to remember that Dray is actually a fairly awful 3 point shooter, he only had one season (15-16) above .340. But GSW have pulled his usage a lot since Durant arrived, so it's hard to know if that 15-16 season could be reduxed.. I guess we will find out this year. His value lies in his passing (elite), team defense (all-time elite, extremely high IQ/feel) and rebounding (solid). If Williams can do that, and be a slightly more valuable offensive weapon, in terms of variety of moves and playmaking ability, this contract will be reaaaally nice.
EDIT: apologies for highjacking a thread about Edwards to talk about GWill
