Hello from a Warriors fan who watched last night's game in person. (Luckily I saw from the 5th row.) I call you lucky because although I really dislike his antics, Rasheed is one of the best, if not the best, PF in the league. He's so fundamentally sound. I see why everyone in the league calls him one of the best. Its not just because he hit those huge 3s to give you the lead late. He can post up, block shots, rebound in traffic, make the nice pass. While getting a bit older, he seems to hustle and play all out all the time. Yeah, I pretty much fell in love with him and wish he played for the Warriors. One particular play shows his talent, he's running the right wing on a 3 on 2 and he gets the pass just pass the FT line and he makes a sweet touch pass to the left wing cutter for a lay up. No other player over 6'10" in the league makes that pass. Wow. Will you keep him? That's the question.
I think the real question is: "Will you give him to the Warriors?" But yeah, Sheed is a very talented big. He is half of what you call the new type big who can shoot and run, while still being half of the old school banger type big. He never used to get much good publicity though, cause of his negative rep.
Sheed can play. They just need to post him up more and try to get him in some mismatches because he can abuse people down low. Also, Rip and AI are great running off him for the handoff downlow.
Am I the only one that thinks he shoots to many three's? And when I saw the topic I thught it was going to be a Laker fan talking shit....
