S.R. wrote: View PostFun fact - FVV's career 3P% and last season's 3P% are both better than Danny Green's. FVV's also a strong defender - a small guy, but that rarely mattered in crunch time last season as so many teams finish small.
That said I don't think there's really a wrong choice. If DG returns to health and is better than last season, he's a great option to close. May come down to who's hot and matchups.
FVV as a second ballhandler is a legitimate advantage Green can't give you - but that may be affected by how Kawhi's used in crunch time. DeMar always shifted from initiating offence to finishing it over the course of the game, so 2 PG's helped closing out 4ths.
Agree, I don't think there is a wrong choice, but I think DG is the best choice to close games.
Agree again, FVV is the better ball handler, but as you mentioned will they need him out there with Kawhi and Lowry as the primary ball handlers. No point in moving Lowry off ball to emphasize him as a shooting threat when you have DG out there with him. It makes doubling Kawhi near impossible. Fuck I can't wait!

The "gravity" thing is a good point, I'd expect Green pulls in defenders more by reputation. FVV was a relative unknown though and he could get there if he keeps this up."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

The bad ball-handling criticism has not been applicable for a while imo.
Fun fact: #1 over the past three years? Kawhi Leonard.

The crazy part of Kawhi is not that he's amazing at the stuff DeMar was terrible at (and he is), it's that on top of that, he's somehow a little better at almost all the stuff DeMar was good at too.

Scraptor wrote: View PostNah, respecting DeMar and welcoming Kawhi are not mutually exclusive, and painting it as such is just one more way to throw passive-aggressive potshots at DeMar on his way out the door.

Let's try again:
True or False: Kawhi Leonard is a robot.
Let's see if I can get this going again...
False. Kawhi Leonard is 1/2 robot, 1/4 alien and 1/4 human.
True or False:
OG will play in the rookie/sophomore game this year.
