People been questioning Sexton's ceiling it's obvious Cedi hit his.....He allowed his player to be wide open for three on three straight possessions. And,then waiting til the fourth quarter to start scoring.

Windler need to take his starting spot next season.

I've felt since the start of the season that Cedi's starting spot was just a placeholder for someone else in the 2020-2021 season. We have no clue if that is Windler or whoever we pick this year.

I don't think all is lost with Cedi. I think he is the ideal candidate for someone you put in at PG or backup PG to just learn and possibly have some real terrible games. Force him to slow down, work on his handles and vision. Also it could help him understand that he needs to do more off the ball to make the ball handlers job easier.

Don't get me wrong,he can play but he's not starter material...imo...How does a guy that workout with Lebron, Kawhi and KD,right before the start of last season,so average.

Don't let me start, how he never improved his dribbling.

I wonder how hard those guys workout in the off-season. They might like Cedi as a workout partner but I think he needs a stretch of real hard and almost embarrassed games for him to work on his dribbling and not rifling passes. I don't think it helped that Beilein wanted him to be a 3 and D player. Cedi got rid of all his slashing and seems too comfortable just standing and waiting for a pass at the 3 pt line.

He's not generating steals or playing with the energy he used to/moving off the ball and cutting. He waves off Sexton all the time in order to turn it over.

He can play much better. The coaching change has not had the same effect on him

Its weird because if you check out his first 2 games with JBB as coach they were really good averaged around 16/8/5,,,I thought he was trending up,, his last 4 games have been pretty crappy..although I did think he gave Tatum more trouble than anyone else on defense last night.
I don't know maybe he broke up with his girlfriend or something. He better get it together quickly.

There was a couple of times,he didn't pass the ball to Sexton or Love for a wide open three,last night.

And,like you said,I dont understand,why he waves off Sexton when he's the better dribbler.

He needs to look at himself in the mirror because I thought he would be a third option on the team. KP and Garland already passed him in that department. The least he can do is play better defense.
 
He is a terrible defender, he leaves players open from 3 all the time. He also doesn’t have much strength and gets beaten inside too. His shooting isn’t consistent enough to make up for this. He has been very disappointing.
 
Nice bounce back game for Cedi. Red hot shooting is him averaging out over a rough stretch. That's all for him consistency.

A couple of dribbles should be all he does. Can't keep his hands on it in traffic.

Off ball game from him and Sexton was good tonight.
 
Has bounced back nicely these last two games

I want Cedi to continue moving the ball like he did tonight. He's best when he is pushing or passing/shooting it quick. Getting the ball on the move is great for him.
 
1) Because it may mean you're ignoring some prodigious talents who can't "dribble, pass, shoot, and drive." Rather than simply drafting the best talent available and figuring out how to best utilize those talents within a system that you adjust to fit the talent, you're instead constantly searching for players who fit a pre-determined system, and rejecting those who don't. Even if the available players who can do a little bit of everything aren't actually as good as other guys who are available. So you pass up guys like Jokic, Gobert, and Vucevic. Klay Thompson had poor handles for an SG, rarely drove, and really wasn't much of a passer either. Giannis is a crappy shooter.

2) It also has no mention at all of players who can defend. Very college-like to worry only about offense, and count on your defensive system to be good enough regardless of your defensive talent.



Because you're never going to be able to get that -- nobody ever does. Even GSW at their greatest didn't have that. A good coach is going to want some players who can't do all those things, will figure out how to best take advantage of the talents they do possess, and will want to hang on to them. The idea that we're going to reject players who don't fit Beilein's particular vision of what amounts to positionless basketball is foolish to me because it inevitably will lead to overlooking some more talented players.
Sorry for the grave dig, but I'm curious if you still have an issue with the coach wanting to bring in versatile players? :chuckle:
