Can you imagine having Steph and Klay coming off the bench (years from now)?

this guy gets it

The only thing I'll concede on the Wiseman front is that at time there can be a conflict of styles but that's cause Kerr don't know how to adjust very well. People think he wants to play small ball when in reality he LOVES traditional big men. Always has. He was the one who signed Shaq in Phoenix back in the day cause he was obsessed with size. This ain't the same situation since Wiseman can space the floor and ain't washed but it's about stylistic fit and in reality I don't love the fit of Oubre and Wiseman on the court together because one of them needs to be in the dunker spot at all times to really flourish. That's why when Klay comes back I think Wiseman will look even better cause you'll have Steph and Klay on the perimeter, Dray at the top of key passing, Wiggins cutting, and Wiseman in the dunker spot. More spacing.

I was watching Warriors Outsiders the other day and they said Lacob might pay Kelly his money if he continues to ball out the way he has. Dude is a great on ball defender and an overall pest to the opposing team

he nor Wigs have the passing ability of Iggy but they are shaping up to be defenders
Klay coming off an injury and Dray getting older, and these guys have helped us become a top 5 defense

I hope we keep em cuz with a healthy Klay, and older and more experienced Wiseman, and Dray being Dray these nikkas can put a stranglehold on opppsing offenses


If Lacob is reallt about this lightyears shyt he's going to look around the league and see the rosters of the nets, sixers, lakers, clips and realize he's gonna have to spend to keep up

with Klay back and presumably we get another high draft pick we can be one of the deepest teams in the league

I think Wise needs a solid offseason to work on his game. I don’t think he’ll end up as a bust especially with the ppl around him.

can the warriors hire Kevin Garnett as a player mentor (sort of like what Livingston and Barbosa have)?

to even mention wiseman and bust in the same sentence is stupid. relax ppl

Another piece on Wiseman:

Warriors: One dinner helped James Wiseman win over Kerr, Myers

A month later, the Warriors made Wiseman the No. 2 pick after Edwards went No. 1 to Minnesota. In front of a camera feeding to ESPN, Wiseman sat on a couch in Memphis, flanked by his mom, sister and Hardaway, and put on a grey Warriors hat. He didn’t cry, he didn’t smile. Fittingly, he exhaled. He and his family had come a long way from the bus route.

A moment later, his phone lit up with a text from Draymond Green: “Enjoy this day Rook,” it read. “But as soon as you get up here, it’s time to work.”

The worst part about all of these dudes bytching about Wiseman is when breh starts beasting and putting up numbers these same dudes will act like they always believed in breh

These cats are all about Instant Gratification. To them it's not acceptable that a 19 year old rookie that has basically come from High School to the Pros will struggle. If J-Dub makes 3 good plays in a row and fukks up on the 4th play they will immediately latch on to the play he messed up on. Some of these fools describe Wiseman like he's Kwame Brown

I've lost so much respect for these dudes lately because of this Wiseman situation. The reality is those KD years brought lots of whiny, entitled mofukkas over to our side. Which is why they can't be patient and wait for this Rookie to develop. Dudes are ready to quit on him this early in his career, straight up clown shyt.

Not to mention, ignoring the fact that he has put up similar or better numbers than other greats that were straight out of high school. Almost like they remember Garnett and Kobe being top players in year 1.

I see a lot that I like in Wiseman. A lot of his mistakes are correctable with experience. If he learns to guard the perimeter on switches decently, and learns how to stick those screens, he will be set.

I dont see him becoming a great shot blocker though. Usually that timing is there from the beginning. He blocks some shots just due to his size..but he doesn't have great anticipation and timing

Bruh if nikkas get Jonathan Kuminga or Evan Mobley in the draft

People don't realize how deep this upcoming draft is gonna be. More than half the top 10 prospects would have been the number 1 overall pick in last years draft no question.

It's why I say go with depth next year and see how Klay looks and just take your shot. If they win or get close to winning then you can push all your chips in the middle and try to get another star if that's what you really want. Their package will be better than everyone elses regardless.

People don't be watching the games enough to realize we be losing cause nikkas randomly be deciding to either not play defense or not play with intensity.

This team should be no worse than 22-13 but with a full offseason, Klay, a reliable backup PG, and another lottery pick this becomes a scary team next season cause the West is not that damn good like I've been saying since before the season.
