#9 will get its queries, but I can't emphasize enough how happy I am that we have a penetrating PG that can create for himself - as well as others.

Langston's still going through the learning curves of transitioning from the 2 to a PG (or lead guard as P-Jax puts it), and his penetrate and create game is lacking.

And then there's Calderon.

2 immense flaws: defense in its entirety, no penetration game in any sense. Penetrate and create his own shot, P&D, P&K, he doesn't do or defend them. He'll help out Grant (who does them all) in the triangle, which will be huge. Under Jose's tutelage, both Langston and Grant (who has the way bigger upside) are in good hands for their sophomore and rookie seasons in the 'rangle.

Well, we know Shump didn't teach him how to make lay ups

He tends to go right and use his right hand a lot. I hope he develops his left because that can become a problem. I like him and think he has the pedigree and competitive edge to do it.

Kid finishes often enough. That's much more than I'm used to from Larkin and TH Jr. He can also run the team and he distributes well. Again, we didn't that except some from Gallo. Great current skills and seems to have more potential. Looking forward to enjoying him play.

So glad we got Jerian. I was a Mudiay guy before the draft but getting Grant and Knickstaps was a great move. I hope phil has more of that magic to get us a first rounder next year. Showcasing Jose or DWill perhaps? :lol:
