Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

Wemby is great and getting better. It’s all about health. When healthy he is better than Sengun. It all comes down to if he can stay that way. I personally think Amen will end up with the better career, but if they both have longevity they could both be HOF’s (potentially of course).

 

Amen would be a different monster if he were 7*5.....even at 7'2.

 

His athleticism and wingspan do make up for some of the difference in height. Not all of it though.

 

So hyped to see the effect KD has on the team. I think we can safely say that Amen's work ethic will do most of the rest once KD shows him how to make the best of the reps.

 

I’m gonna be looking at Jabari sideways if he’s still mediocre after full-time KD tutelage

he’s gotta go from

u can’t get training from a Michelin chef and still be serving up microwave TV dinner quality meals…I’m not having it

 

Agreed 100% If you can't learn how to be a lanky super tall shooter from the best then there's no hope.

 

Too bad basketball skills aren't just head knowledge. You need physical tools to execute what you want to do on the court.

Jabari doesn't have Durant's smooth body movement. What I hope Jabari to improve is his ball handling. He doesn't have to be as smooth and fast as KD. But he can work on using some dribbling to get separation for a shot. He could do it in college. Against NBA defenders, he needs better handles.

 

I don't want him ever driving or trying to "ballhandle" tbh. I want KD to teach him those 1/2 dribble to create space jumpshots. We've seen Bari can shoot really well in the midrange, if he can learn how to create that little bit of space for himself he doesn't need to be KD, he'd still easily average 20 a game between a few threes, some easy jump shots and a couple of those lil elbow shots he often seems automatic at...
