Honestly injury free more than satisfies me for now. If he can do that he’ll probably find a way back to the league anyway.

Josh green 12 points 12 rebounds 1st double double ?

 

[Nuggetz]

Dante will get calls from the NBA if he can remain injury free

 

[crackers65]

hope his knees hold up , all I remember is Aaron Krickstein wearing a fridgerator on his leg

His father used to wear a golf bag on his.
Dante needs to stay healthy and he’s back in the NBA

I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t understand the riddles he posts.

Josh with 10/6 with 4 Steals & 2 Blocks as a starter tonight

Jock landale alert 17 points up to half time 7/7 fg 2 pts

 

[Satan]

Jock 26 /7/2 2 steals very high % of fg

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Omg what a performance by Jock!
Hopefully this will be the catalyst for more consistent minutes, but I'm not hopeful with Pop at the helm.

An admiralable effort by him today

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Best think for Green was Carlisle moving on.

He has been a great coach for many years but he’s always been reluctant to play rookies/young kids. Played valuable minutes today. If his shot keeps slowly improving he’ll be a real asset

he'll be better long run for Pop's metered development

Article makes an interesting point regarding the uniqueness of Josh Giddey's skillet.

Rookie Comps: 2021 NBA Draft Class

Is Jalen Green the next Bradley Beal? Whose career paths will Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley follow? We ran the numbers to come up with five comps for every notable (qualifying) rookie from the 2021-22 season.

I have seen >a dozen J-Gid assessments by youtube amateur voters and if this is not the best take it is equal to the best take

My take: (I am from Melbourne Australia btw) I followed basketball in 80s/90s and never really followed the kobe/lebron/rondo era , I followed the fathers of BenSimmons DanteExum JoshGiddey all alumni of Melbourne Tigers

J-Gid is just .d.i.f.f.e.r.e.n.t. and no one has of yet picked him apart with what he is doing AT .n.i.n.e.t.e.e.n.

This with a few others is the best analysis

J-Gid is just different
J-Gid plays fast-slow

the ball moves faster than John Waĺl
the ball files faster than Ja Morant and an exocet missile

He is a gestalt of JoeIngles×SteveNash×LukaDoncic×NicolaJokic

J-Gid manipulates his defenders which taller-than-guards do not have experience defending the lead guard , that is why though it does 'look like he has fumbled the ball around his ankles(AND much time he has actually lost perfect control of the ball) he is going against a 6'9"± defender with the.ball.around.their.ankles. and J-Gid actually controls the ball in the foot above the parquet(floor) but a 6'9" defender getting a swipe on the ball? NO chance. This is why he bounce pass is so successful, one, he goes into the protected area and gets deep, it is a steep angle bounce pass, so you can put it on ankles and feet which anchored in clay ... then he has the vertical corridor pass between 7' and 8½' feet and he is matched against (NOT.a.Ben.Simmons.) but a 3 or 4 man who has no experience matching up to a lead guard and ball distributor and partly.compromised.feet.movement to defend a guard

Then like Nash and Luka he manipulates the twitch'iness(fast-twitch) reflex of the defender by their stop-go and lateral switch-go like a marionette (John.Cusak's.character.in.the.film.Being.John.Malkovich)

No one plays like him and fans only conflate weakness as NOT Ja Morant ... category e.r.r.o.r

economic metaphors and analogies: opportunity cost and JohnNash at Princeton(A Beatiful Mind film) 'GameTheory' which won him the Nobel Prize in economics even though he is a mathematician, think of it as triangulation, Giddey is not lightning John Wall or Ben Simmons or Dante Exum or Ja Morant ... he developed like Luka or Bird , and Nash , he specialises, J-Gid specialises in his s.l.o.w.n.e.s.s.
But never too slow

I have seen Steph's game (with his coach Steve Kerr) running a heliocentric system

Well J-Gid keeping dribble alive a being deep in the protected area with a live dribble(like Tyler Herro) allows hi. To distribute from the heliotrope/heliocentric perspective-point
See: Steve, SteveNash(this time) see Steve Nash getting deep and jumping getting the interior defenders in.the.air. and dropping off passes as when the defense is in the air they cannot defend the pass with the same facility ... even if J-Gid is not Nash leaping into contact to drop off the pass that is how he also manipulates the defense so they drop.their.guard.from.their.optimum.defensive.posture

I guess you mean George Gervin. Cecil also played for North MELB. Giants (1989 champion) and I suppose Sam Perkins.
But as royces hart said WAT?

damn , dyslexic

I think Cecil played Geelong Supercats and Melbourne Tigers and with Worthy MJ and Perkins under Dean Smith in Chapel Hill

I thought he was referring to the time when Gervin toured here in the early 90s with a collection of what I think may have been college players. I saw them play the Supercats in Geelong. At the time I had no idea what a legend he was.
