Jabari is streaky has low bbiq and can barely shoot. His defense is mid. He and KD are both part of the problem.
Fair enough, I just feel like we need a young point guard badly and by the time Stone realizes it, it will be too late.
Ya if you’re not a reed believer i get that. I would be SHOCKED if this coming season giddey is better than reed though.
I just don’t get the Jabari hate. Last year he was the 6th best PF rebounds per game in guys that played more than half the season. He was 14th in scoring avg and sixth in bpg. 14th in 3p%, 1st in minutes played. He’s 22 years old with a frame capable of 25 lbs more of muscle which would make him a candidate as a stretch center. Top 1/3 in PF’s in the league at age 22, playing for a lousy coach and is on a reasonable contract. Both years he has been one of our best playoff performers (although that’s not saying much). He is not the problem with this roster construction.
Who said I want Giddey instead of Reed I want both. Is there a limit on guards? lol Also Reed can pass but he's more of a shooter. Theer's huge difference between Giddey who is an elite passer and Reed lol
Its not hate to tell the truth about Jabari. Those numbers that you stated literally just mean nothing. 14th in scoring average for 4's lol ok? I think its homerism when you inflate and glaze someone who is average. He's ok but he's more of a role player when we can have someone better thats already on the team in the same spot and have an elite playmaker just by trading him.
Reed giddey and sengun would be basically the worst defense in history. I can’t fathom reed and josh or josh and sengun playing together for any amount of time. I just rather reed have the ball then giddey.
You cant fathom it because you underrate them lol It was just proven with the Brunson talk which you just brushed off. Sengun isnt a bad defender. Actually our defensive numbers go down when he sits. He has a higher rating than Adams and Capela. He's a better defender than Joker who has won a chip. That doesnt matter though because you guys think what you want to sometimes regardless of reality. Caring tooo much about defense is why our offense sucks.
No i said brunson is an elite on ball guy, that's not relevant to the discussion about giddey to me. You also very well may be right, i simply put little to no value on players who are solid but not great on ball guys that suck on defense. I would not want giddey, i would not want herro, i would not want ingram, i never wanted derozen, those types of players do not appeal to me at all when trying to build a contender unless they are making very little money.
You dont want anyone then because most of the winning guards are comparable to Giddey. Jamal Murray won a chip with Joker and is actually way worse than Giddey at defense. Both Joker and Murray have lower defensive ratings than Sengun and Giddey. Its no coincidence that the Celtics and the Knicks won chips after their defensive forward coaches were fired. Both being replaced by more offensive minded guys. Freds defensive rating is elite but where did that get us? He can barely shoot and for a guard thats terrible.
