I look forward to seeing how he performs with teammates that have NBA talent. He is in a similar situation as DSJr was last year with NC state. Top PG prospects but their teammates are complete garbage.


Why won't he get his teammates involved more ala CP3! Clearly his Steph Curry approach has cooled down!

If the goal is to win next year, this is a team that could win games. IT facilitating, four competent defensive players to cover for his extreme defensive shortfalls. The Golden State model shows four good defensive players overcoming the extreme defensive limitations of one gifted offensive starter. Not sure it is possible to be ultimately successful with a starting roster which includes two extremely poor defenders.

Curry
Klay
Durant
Green
Zaza

I love it. But I also wouldn't mind:

IT/Augustine
Fournier/Simmons/Ross
Isaac/ Hezonja
Gordon
Bamba/Biyombo/Birch

why do people want us to sign IT? What bizzaro world is it where paying an aging midget with zero defense coming off a major injury for a team that is trash and rebuilding is a good idea?
