yep Vassell should be leading the 2nd unit, and take away touches from Keldon. The more Keldon's role in the team is diminished the better.

Vassell can start and lead the second unit.
He'll be coming off the bench for the foreseeable future due to his injuries, but it will be interesting to follow how the situation unfolds long-term.
The Doc Rivers effect. I know Doc wasn't there when Mamu was cut loose but he is now coaching the Bucks, maybe they have some cuts we could look over?
Devin is the highest paid player in the team. I doubt he plays off the bench. I was just saying that Champ playing so well in the SL with his overall plays both sides of the court. And currently the SL is much balanced, because it allows Castle to have enough touches, which Devin would take some of Castle’s touches when he comes back in the SL.
Even before he re-injured himself, Mitch said Devin would be coming off the bench for the foreseeable future. I don't think he'll start until he's in peak condition.
Staying healthy is his biggest test. Yeah, he can become a better basketball player, but if he's not healthy, it won't matter.
Spurs need to tread carefully with him. If he can't stay healthy, we should package him while he's at peak value and the league isn't caught up with it.
this is why it was so important for Barnes to waive his trade kicker. only other way that trade could have happened was waiving champagnie. even if he doesnt turn out to be great, he's making 3 mil per year and we have him locked in for the next 2 seasons as well
It‘s been a revelation that he can also guard bigs. Did a great job on Markkanen and even guarded AD pretty well at times
Champ's perimeter defense has been really underrated.
So far this season, him and Castle have been the biggest surprises.
Don’t understand how people on ST are still hating on him. He’s been a huge surprise this year and looks like a modern day Danny green at times (who can drive to the basket but not as quick on d).
Surprised to see Jalen Johnson that bad. I thought he would be above average as a defender.
Neat chart. Toumani Camara would be a nice pick up if they could pry him from the Blazers.Champ's perimeter defense has been really underrated.
he's been good since last year, not sure why people are surprised
dude was practically public enemy #1 around this same time last year.
I wouldn’t go that far. He was on a good contract last year and he played as such. He is better driving to the basket this year, he is shooting with more confidence this year, more consistent this year, and his defence is much better than last year (based on eye test). Rotations are crisp and he is playing plus perimeter defence. Can’t say the same last year.
he's definitely been a more well rounded player compared to last year. he's finishing over 72% inside 3 feet so far, compared to 64% last year. while as a % of his FGA, he's actually taking less shots inside 3 feet than he was last year, its noteworthy that over 21% of his 2pt shots have been unassisted this year, whereas that was about 14% last year
he's had some rough moments in transition when trying to push (kind of just has blinders, which is expected, he's not a playmaker), but his willingness to attack the cup is nice. and defensively, he's been much more impactful than last year even though he always had solid measurables
while he's been relatively hot last 3 games, he's still only at 36% from 3 for the season, and i dont think thats a satisfactory mark for him
Last year’s 3s .365
This year’s 3s .360
I didn’t say more accurate, I said more confident. Last year he shot 6.8 3s per 36, this year he’s at 8.3 with more minutes.
The problem with his 3s last year is that he would lose confidence in his entire game when his shot isn’t falling, this year he just does other stuff. He also would hesitate on his shot last year, this year he just lets it fly.
A cool 30 on 8-16/6-12/8-8 for Champ tonight. And he's on an absolute steal of a contract. Thank God for the Philly scrap-heap.
You also said more consistent, which means percentage.
No. It means variance.
If your comparing his play to his salary then Yes but if your comparing him to say a starter in the NBA then maybe just decent. Last year he would drive me crazy on defense he was a terrible team defender he always looked lost and being out of position. This year his defense is better and his overall play is also better but he still is very inconsistent with his offense he will have a good game and then one or two bad games.
i just really disagree
What’s great is his improved defense and is becoming one of the better defenders in the team, making him an ideal 3nD with the 1st squad.
If you vary, you’re not consistent. Variance is the opposite of consistency.
