I'd be good with him or Jared Dudley (I think he plays some small ball 4).

As much as I like Jason Smith, I think I'm done with long 2s unless you're Ibaka or Vucevic.

Pace and space, plus Frank Vogel defense...I like it a lot.

How does the comparison break down?

Vogel basically gave away our offseason strategy at the Ibaka press conference (not that it wasn't obvious already). Bring in interior defense and toughness, along with outside shooting. So far that's what we've done.

Both teams seem content without a lot of perimeter shooting.

I'd prefer not to get into a big discussion about them though. I'll leave my opinions to myself.

Always liked that dude. Very underrated. He always scorched us playing with Brooklyn.

To be fair, we had some 3PT shooting in prior years with Frye. But hopefully with Ibaka in for Tobias and Oladipo it will be a little more balanced now.

Mirza Teletovic cannot guard a chair. I can't believe some of you are even considering him. I'd rather keep Nicholson any day over signing Teletovic.

Was Draymond a great three point shooter his second year?


I really don't think he was at all critiquing Gordon, but it is quite evident that Hennigan didn't place a great deal of emphasis on a player's ability to shoot until very recently.
