Davis should start
both Davis and Thomas could be huge for our rebuild. both signed long term on minimum contracts.
If these guys become NBA players not only is their trade value high but they help us in Free agency since they don't make anything. I think one of these guys will end up starting at SG this season.
Matt thomas will stretch the floor, Davis give Defense and energy. Yall will laugh now but I see it with Davis. He's a legit athlete

Re: Thomas and Davis
Just watched the pre-season game, and I agree that both looked good, but David especially. He was great, and I think he may end up starting at the end of the season, but it's probably just pre-season talking. Thomas looked pretty good too - defence was not as bad as some made it out to be. He'll be situational though, but will have a consistent role I think.

Re: Thomas and Davis
Was only able to catch parts of the 2nd half but looking at the box score, Norm seemed to have a good game. What about his night makes you think he isnt the guy?

Because people dont know what they're watching.
Norm is way ahead of any of the other scrubs fighting for minutes. No one wants to like norm. They'd rather get hyped for guys like og because the media forcefeeds a narrative. To be fair even nurse doesn't realize what he has. It's crazy to me man. Norm shows up in big playoff games, already has had a polished wing skillset, has great physical tools, is consistently a good teammate and hard worker, has been with the team for a while and still has to fight for minutes with mccaw.
Mccaw is so raw compared to norm but people get hyped because of a few defensive possessions. Twilight zone stuff to me. It s the same thing with og. Such a limited player garnering so much hype. Give the players thtt can actually play some guaranteed minutes please. Stop making them "earn" it against clearly Inferior players.

He is what he is....actually would start him at SF. OG is def not the guy. My top 10 would be
Lowry
Thomas
Norm
Pascal
Gasol
FVV
Davis
OG
RHJ
Ibaka

Davis is so versatile.
He can Defend, Score, Handle, Rebound, Shoot pretty well....this dude is gonna be a key role player for us

What does that even mean lol. What about his night makes you think he is better suited for a 3 over a 2? Norm has historically shown he is not an NBA SF.

Would start Davis and bring Thomas off the bench. Powell is a bench 2.

Agreed, I’ve said before that it feels like TD will carve out a role this year. If Norm flops on his chance Davis is a utility knife kind of guard who can help impact the game offensively by doing more than just hitting open shots.

It means we know his ceiling. And norm is just a 3 due to us not having anyone else that can fill the role. We suck on the wing and anyone denying this is crazy. We lost our starting sG and sf. Its obvious
we're deep at PG and Bigs but our wings are below average at best

Re: Thomas and Davis
It is going to be beautiful to watch the ball get kicked out to Matt Thomas and just know in your heart of hearts that the ball is going in. No anxiety, no desperation just a calm confidence that we are about to get 3 more points on the board.

Re: Thomas and Davis
Davis looks like the real deal. If Denver didn't have Porter already, we wouldn't have got him.
He's basically Terrence Ross. He can shoot, dunk, drive with ok handles...he's good.

Re: Thomas and Davis
Norm is 6’ 3” and starting him at SF is waiving the white flag on the entire season already. He may start at SG, but SF isn’t happening.

The media isn’t swarming OG and calling him great, so you can stop with the imaginary stuff. Nobody is hyping McCaw lmao. The only force fed narrative or slant we get about OG is yours.

Davis has that internal drive to get better, which is something Ross lacks. Davis also looks to be a better defender despite the 3D label people stuck on Ross.

Lowry is going to make Thomas and Davis even better because he's now a Pass first PG. If Davis develops a consistence 3 it's over.

This looks good but I think Boucher needs to be utilized, maybe instead of RHJ. He’d add much needed shooting to the second unit
