Penitentiary Chapel of: Dewayne Dedmon "Walking"

Not much in this chapel lately.. but he's been a beast on defense.

No news on whether he will suit up, but he reportedly sprained his knee.

The warriors would be coasting to a championship right about now if Dedmon picked the warriors....

He's been solid, needs to quit fumbling around the rim and missing easy buckets though

I'm so glad the Warriors didn't get him. He was exactly what they needed. Hopefully Pop gives him more court time. He's earned it with his defense. I'm assuming the offensive side of the ball (where he's not very good) is the main reason Pop limits his minutes, because otherwise, I just don't see why he's not getting more court time.

Deadman has been terrible this year.

So has Simmons, all that glitters isn't gold, both Simmons and Dedmon left for greener pastures but their best games were in San Antonio. Maybe they both get bought out and can return. Should be "over themselves" by now.

Dedmon was a fine Spur, and unlike Jon, he'd still be a good player to have at his contract. The issue as far as ST is concerned is that too many folks ignored Dewayne's shortcomings and only looked at his strengths. He was really effective is used in spurts, but his high foul rate and bad hands really made themselves known if he was out there too long against better players. Overall, Poeltl should be better than him going forward, and I say this as a guy who's been skeptical of Jakob for a while now. The Spurs totally missed Dedmon last year when the alternative was Joff, but this year, LMA and Pau are both better, and Poeltl has more future value.

what both players were giving to our team was, more than all, athletic fresh blood and energy....that's something our team is always lacking. They were no high IQ players (and that's the main reason they are not with us anymore), but the energy level was obviously highter with them. I agree both Pau and LMA, as centers, are better players than Deadmon, and I can also agree on the fact that Poeltl has a better perspective as a player, but I frankly still think that Deadmon's game was the kind of complementary game for what our team needed....alas a big man that run the floor like a deer, and jump like a kangaroo for block shots and defensive and offensive rebounds.

considering Pop never let Dedmon shoot and one year after Dedmon had the same 3-point percentage that Pau Gasol had, and also taking into consideration his much cheaper contract + better defense I'd definitely preferred to keep Dedmon over Gasol

Yeah, you can say that, but that was never a choice available. The CBA is a sometimes.

This seems racially tinged

I’m sure they’d rather be in Toronto.
