In what way? This doesn't make sense to me since they're different players with different skills and upsides.

To me when we drafted MDJ I envisioned him as a point forward who could run the offense, be a sharp shooter and have an overall game as a SF. Todays comp for me would be 'Cade Cunningham at home' lol


They are/were jack-of-all-trades point forwards. They are pretty similar.. who were Buzelis' comps? I kept hearing Franz Wagner and Lamar Odom. Who were also jack-of-all-trade point forwards with streaky shooting

Thin frame, good handles, streaky 3pt shooter.. but Matas is 2 years younger and doesnt play timid

Post is an interesting player. Shockingly comfortable at shooting it from beyond the arc. Looks like he knows how to set a screen. Appears to have good court awareness and ability to hit the open man. Everything Wiseman thought he was but wasn't.

Heat fan here

Was funny to read the comments on the GB after yall got Jimmy.

I've seen this exact movie before 50 times.

Jimmy this, Jimmy that, and then he locks in and it's "HES HIM!!!" and all this

ya'll are a darkhorse team if you can get into the playoffs. Both Curry and Jimmy can pop off and go super saiyan to carry a team deep in the playoffs.

Not shocked, sucks to see, but Jimmy wanted 60mil/year and Pat won't pay that when Jimmy gives half effort during reg seasons.

We need a lot more than half effort from Jimmy if we're to make the playoffs. Hopefully now that he has his money he'll go all in.

Happy with the 2nd half.
Loved Wiggins but he isn’t a dynamic player that has opposition eyes on him at all times. Jimmy is. That’s going to help out a lot if our players make use of the space Jimmy and Steph will provide.

Let’s see if we can improve our D and get some rhythm offensively. And have Jimmy maintain the rage.

Liked the effort, it's like they were lacking that spark, probably now they think they are contenders. Hope it lasts.

Jimmy will come along, it was a great first game for him, and he admitted in the presser his conditioning is not where it should be.

Good game for a change.

like the effort down 24, great comeback W. but let's not forget they were down 24 against a mediocre bulls team. there is a lot work to do, perhaps too much. apart from jimmybucket coming along, they need post to grow in a hurry into a serviceable starting C and kerr to finally pull a finger off his a** and find some rotations/lineups that make sense.
they also need to nail whatever player they will acquire from the buy out market. it's going to have to be someone who can have an impact, not just a body to sign.

Remember when Steph said this team isn’t built to come back from a big deficit. Guess now with Jimmy we are. Let’s go. 62-18 run!!

Yes. Both Timmy and David Lee. I just posted that as a shout out to old school warrior fans, pre Run TMC.

Funny enough Mike Dun Jr had to wear 10 his rookie year since Chris Mills had 34 :lol:

Mookie and Speedy also helped keep that jersey ice cold until Lee came around.

And then got frozen out again with Jacob Evans, Brad Wanamaker and Ty Jerome...
