@Gil Scott-Heroin said the European on the Wizards was better

Deni is Warriors basketball. Wiseman is not.

For all of Ayton's offensive prowess (he's significantly more polished on offense than Wiseman is at the same age), he was legitimately one of the worst defensive bigs in his rookie season. The Suns were going through a rebuilding period that season too, so he had a longer leash, one that won't be afforded to someone like Wiseman.

Even if the Warriors do draft Wiseman, it's hard to see any scenario where he ends up playing a pivotal role with the spacing restrictions that Draymond and he will have in lineups. It's partly the reason why they're targetting versatile wings because they can't afford to have redundancy on the court with two players (Draymond + x-big man) who aren't reliable shooters. EDIT: And it's why I like the potential fit of someone like Deni, because he's 6-10 and has shown the potential and work ethic to shoot lights out. That's the type of player the Warriors need to make the most of their current window.

just needed all the stupid takes in one place

Another 30-point game for Deni.


How many Ls are you going to take you stupid fakkit @Squirrel from Meteor Man?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Deni’s scored more points in one month than Wiseman has had in his entire career. @Squirrel The Wrong Man why do you always find yourself on the wrong side of history?

I've been scanning through full games of Avdija over the last few weeks (FIBA, EuroLeague, IPL) and dude is legit, even more so than I initially thought.

He seemingly makes the right play on every possession, on both ends. He has an incredible understanding and level of activity off-the-ball to get himself open, identifies when to take advantage of mismatches (even in the post) and when to feed the hot-hand, runs the break like a man possessed, can interchange between a primary and secondary initiator extremely well, finishes strong, has a BBIQ well beyond his years (impressive discipline on defense, particularly in terms of verticality and knowing when to make the right rotation to provide help), and has mental toughness seeping out his skin.

I think a lot of guys who are not in the team or not in basketball don’t understand some things about the shot. The shot is not always about your technique. I think my technique is good. I just think that people don’t see the surroundings, so, people forget that I was young. I was going through a team with a lot of experience, with a lot of pressure, with a lot of fans every night. I played several kinds of minutes. Sometimes less, sometimes more, sometimes there’s more pressure. It was kind of ups and downs in the shot. I think towards the end I felt very comfortable in the team, and that’s the main reason why I think I shot better. I think my confidence raised, and I felt better. And the guys made me feel better. I can shoot. I’m a great shooter. ... If I couldn’t shoot, I wouldn’t shoot 3′s. But as long as I shoot, I’m confident, and I’m trying to make every shot I can.” - Avdija.



"Since the restart, Avdija has shot 44% from behind the arc on 4.1 attempts per game"

One thing you have to remember is that all these young cats in the Euroleague/IBSL get fluctuating, limited minutes, where they aren't getting consistent reps and looks where their percentages are reflective of their shooting abilities. Ever since he's been getting regular, significant minutes and playing more of a role this season he's been shooting lights out.

It remains to be seen if he can translate over to the NBA but he's the type of player that fits the Warriors identity more than someone like Wiseman does.

Deni is Warriors basketball. Wiseman is not.
