Actually think this is an underrated move. He plays with authority and power. He can bull his way to the basket...get to the line. Vet who knows how to lob well and shoot the three.

Curry comes out and you have him setting up Oubre and Paschal....Wiseman.

Getting to the line is one thing. Even better is that he will make the free throws. Wanamaker is a legit threat to Curry for the title of team's best FT shooter. Since Draymond, Wiggins and Oubre are sub-80% shooters for their careers, this is a very welcome change.

58% career TS and 62% TS career in the playoffs (small sample sizes, I know). He's one of those analytics underrated pick ups. I also noticed he was the first guard off the bench for the celts once hayward went down and smart got inserted into the SL.

Literally if nothing else having a super reliable ball handler who hits a high percentage of his FTs is a valuable skill. A stable floor general who doesn't turn the ball over, runs the offense and keeps the team calm while shooting well and playing defense? What's not to like?

He's a big add for playoff basketball mostly....having that kind of guy on the second unit is very similar to Livingston type help off the bench. Won't make mistakes....can hit the three...run the team....get to the line. Not to mention he can D up against very strong players.

The thing he can't at the same level as Livingston could is create his own offense, but he has other skills Livingston lacked. That shot creation thing is rare in the NBA unfortunately.

Nah, just means everyone will do a double-take the first time they all hit the showers to see if Draymond is right or not. After all, the entire world has already seen Dray's.....the dangers of a wrong click on social media.

Well, could say you didn't miss much but that would just make Dray cry. :wink:
