The way he can shoot, I'd settle for solid.

I am extremely hopeful for next year, and the whole previous thing did start from great defense.
I am also hoping GSW fans will refrain from eating their own young this year, a habit the fans of several other franchises seem to have developed.

Is Smiley actually emerging or just getting older? Not saying he isn't actually emerging, but I'm not convinced that he is. I don't think his contract becomes guaranteed until July so he could very well be gone after this season.

Doubt it.. Wasn't he Lacob's son's pick? They traded a number 2nd's too for him. I think the son has invested too much in Smiley to drop him after 2 years.

The Warriors traded 2 2nds for 1 2nd, and they don't have roster space for that many players, so Smiley cost them essentially nothing special.
Supposedly Smiley has been the best shooting big on the team, but is supposedly still struggling with schemes. He's a few months older than Wiseman and with the g-league not running yet he'll probably get limited run in blowouts to see if he can contribute.

Apparently it was Kent Jacob who scouted him at 16 in Serbia. Pulled him over to Santa Cruz a year before the draft to play there. They then traded 2 2nds and a mill to get him. Gave him a 4 year non guaran contract.
Yeah with him as Kent Lacob's pick. Don't think they will cut him any time soon.

Still prefer either of those guys, but I’m officially intrigued and excited to follow Jessup this year.
If they drafted Hinton or Stanley they would basically be 2-way players. Instead they picked up a shooter they could stash and still have a chance at Hinton and Stanley being undrafted or at worst any number of other undrafted players on a 2-way. Locking up the rights to a player they liked without paying him is pretty useful.
Hinton is the guy I wanted and they could’ve still looked into him as a ufa. But we do kind of have a log jam at the position and need a shooter so I liked the pickup.
