Great post Marcus. I am excited by the play of Randolph and Davidson. They could be next season’s starter and sub at power forward.

As for next year’s point guard, I am not hopeful that Crawford will show enough in the remaining games to persuade management (whoever that is) that point guard is not the #1 off-season priority.

Coincidentally, Shaun Livingston will soon start playing for the Tulsa 66ers of the NBDL. He should be worth watching.

“Even Nellie says the way to make your team better defensively is to go out and get better defenders.”

Exactly! Which is why Crawford should never have been brought to this team. I am definitely not waiting for him to improve his D at this point. Still, I wonder why he doesn’t play it. Don’t you?

PS– Half the team gone? Now that’s a bit of an overstatement…maybe not…no D, no ring, ever.

“Sorry. Rcg is who I meant to address.”

Got to work harder on your D, Marcus.

Reg,

Hardly avoiding an elephant in the room. I think it’s borderline shady to knock a guy for defense in a system that couldn’t care less about it. If the Warriors are going to start choosing guys for defense, half the team is gone. This team is about offense. Waiting for Crawford, or anyone else, to become lock down defenders is an exercise in futility. Even Nellie says the way to make your team better defensively is to go out and get better defenders.

Sleepy
I agree with your assessment of Jackson and Maggette. Since DN can’t control them, will another coach be able to? Will a real point guard be able to function with Jackson playing? I doubt it.

Maggette bring the ability to go to the basket and get a foul better than any other player. W’s have to keep him.

W’s need a coach who can teach the players how to in bound the ball.

Unfortunately, Crawford is being told to opt out!
Or we’ll trade him! Or… just “emotional” back and forth and Marcus is stirring up stuff?

feltMike, you’re funnier when you play a-hole.

Informative post, Marcus. I agree that JC is the closest thing we have to a legit point guard, with a lot of PG skills. It appears he’s making a concerted effort to lead the team more and play better defense. The thing is, both of those areas require effort, which I hope he can learn and provide. The great skills he has can’t be learned. And the mock drafts say it’s a slim year for PGs coming out of college. I’d really like to see Jamal put in the work to be a complete, consistent player next season. He seems like a great guy and worth rooting for.
