But hes not good. Its not like Luke and Kobe weren't trying to get him to play defense. Hes just not an athletic guard, thats his biggest weakness, and you cant teach athleticism. Its gonna be fun too watch on offense with him and Curry, but it won't be pretty on defense.

He has a 6'10 wingspan. Plenty of potential there to become at least adequate defensively.

Ok

You don't need elite athleticism to be a solid defender. Klay Thompson is not an athletic freak by any means. Dude can barely dunk. Same with Draymond. Neither are athletic freaks.

Everyone in the NBA is an athletic freak. To be that big and agile enough to play basketball is freaky. Klay is 6′ 7″

He'll lose weight with this offense.

He was a terrific shooter in college
Interesting trade

Someone on Twitter mentioned he plays similarly like Mo Speights that can shoot the 3. Myers is really serios about getting more shooting. For sure we will rank at the bottom in defense but will be one of the best shooting and offensive team.

Houston 2.0?

AKA Big Smoothie

Don Nelson tells the story of having Alexander and his girlfriend over the house for a few days.." Big Smoothie " would enjoy the girlfriend each night in the room above Nelson's. BABOOM BABOOM BABOOM...thought the ceiling was going to cave in

The point was he wasn't a great athlete so he can't be a good defender, it's silly really. Defense is more about effort and anticipation. As I said, 6'10 wingspan, he has enough physical traits to be at least adequate. Ron Adams and Draymond will coach him up.

Houton 2.0?

Pretty much double the offense 0 defense. At least we will be entertaining. Just don't expect much that we will get a stop. Plus we're a small team mostly guards.
We are even attending Monta workout . If that's the case I rather have Jamal Crawford if Myers don't care about the defense anymore.

The roster is full and I dont see any additions at this point. I still think its 50-50 whether this team can make the playoffs given the lack of defenders they have.

Portland and Houston is not really known for defense and they finish top 5. Kings are also not known for their defense and they are pretty young team. We just need to avoid the two LA team in the 1st rd and get in. I trust Dray and Steph I don't think they are just gonna fold and let other teams take the West that easy.

If they do make the playoffs they would most likely face the Clippers or Lakers. It isnt like the Warriors are going to be better than a 7 seed with Klay missing 75% of the season. I think the final 3 spots come down to Sacramento, San Antonio, and the Dubs with one of the teams missing out.
i think were a 5. the team will get a jolt on offense from different spots. last year if the starters werent in, we werent doin much. i think we signed some young dudes who can score, if a couple of them learn to play defense we should be pretty dangerous. its gonna be like nelly ball tho, all offense, very little defense. just gotta outscore everyone lol

Why did we also send a 2nd round pick for Spellman? It seems Jones is the better player of the two.
