See the fits that a stretch 5 like Frye can give you defensively? Now imagine if Frye was lethal on the PnR, could crush you in the post, and was a solid rim protector. And was elite as a rebounder. And worked a vicious two man game with the league's elite driver.

What casey has yet to learn is the real "new nba" is kind of a position-less basketball. If you're really good at basketball there's always a spot for you. Unless you don't match dwane caseys Pokémon card he hands you in training camp.
Spurs have won 5 championships doing different things. They changed things up when they were no longer the best at their old thing.
JV could become the best post-scorer in the NBA, and if he adds a long range shot there's nobody who can guard him. Couple that with his greatly improved defensive mobility and his huge rebounding advantage against almost everyone, and he'd have the chance to be one of the best players in the league.Last edited by KHD; Wed May 25, 2016, 05:03 PM.

Instead of finding every reason jonas can't play in each current "era" because his role card is outdated, why not just develop him into an all around good basketball player that can have a long career and be versatile? Trying to make him the flavor of the week hampered his development"We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

JV was great this game. So very weird that he only played 17 minutes, was causing all sorts of issues for the Cavs. Was my one real gripe (besides starting Scola) in this game. He was a +4 on the night, too, the only + on the team.
Sooooo much excitement about what he might become next year.

I think this playoff showed we are not a fast-paced team. We need to refocus on the defensive end and try to win holding opponents under 90. We have enough athleticism to run off D, but if we don't get something early in transition, everything needs to settle into the halfcourt and make sure we keep turnovers and bad shots down.

Chris Towers from CBS tweeting earlier that the Raptors should pick a 2nd option between DeMar and JV, let the other guy go. Not enough usage to keep DeMar, and let JV grow.
I agree, to some extent. Just don't want to see JV go because of it.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle
