Contrary to what many think, I think NOah cuts into the lineup in the PF position. He has a much better outside shot than Davis. Davis is a valued workhorse there is no doubt, but he will never have the offensive potential of Vonleh and I think Vonleh's D is already close to that of Davis. I really think its about the system. How well can Noah learn Stott's system to the point he knows where he should be at all times on the court. knows when to pas and when not to. As soon as these instincts kick in that mesh with the system, he will break out. I think going up against Ezeli in practice is going t teach him all of these things. He just has to retain them and use them in games.
I'm w/ u on this Especially going up against Ezeli in practice & teaching him things. Ezeli came from GS & the ENTIRE team was on a string; Ezeli moves his feet VERY well for a guy of any size/really knows where to be very much so on defense (his offense will be a fun addition too!). I've said this before but I'll say it again: LOVE that Ezeli came from GS so that we can get an (former) insider's perspective on how they work/how to beat them! I'll also add that Ezeli's GS experience will not only bring a championship attitude/culture to the reg. season BUT ALSO to the post!
