He had a decent game tonight. 15 min, 5 pts, 3 Assists, 8 rebounds, a block, +17 diff. What do you guys think his ultimate role will be on this team.... rotational player, starter, future star. I know it's fairly early, but what does everybody see in the crystal ball?
He was awesome. Whenever he was in the game, it was going well. I think he's a legit star down the bend, hopefully for us!
He's a keeper. His energy and rebound strengths are the type of player we need. He is the future. Pay him a hundred mil right now as long as its not our money.
Why? He can't be Green eventually? Even Green wasn't Green until he became a starter, Caleb can't do the same? Swanigan can do everything Draymond does minus running an offense right now.
The good: Tenacious rebounder, good outside shooter, good passer and some decent low-post moves. The Not-so-good: Poor foot speed on the perimeter. Almost no explosion at the rim. Has to learn to finish from below the rim like Zach Randolph somehow.
He's a rookie but I think he's going to earn plenty of PT. I really like his energy and he especially pairs well with Davis on the 2nd unit. He's not good enough, yet, to keep in the game against small ball teams - at least against their starters. My hope is that he develops into our starting PF, and soon.
Dont get me wrong, I'm bullish on biggie as well, but he had 5 pts in his 1st 30 seconds on the court. he went 14 1/2 minutes with a 0pt, 6reb line with flashes of D. Sounds like a below-average Vonleh line to me.
