The Golden State Warriors NEW HIDDEN GEM

[@joeschmidt6597]

TJD is 23 years old. He was the 2nd best player in the NCAA tournament behind player of the year Zach Edey. 3rd was Brandon Miller. He fell in the draft because NBA teams prefer drafting younger players in the 1st round they can develop, where 3-4 year players are kinda who they are. That’s at least how they view it

[@thegreatbambi5674]

He's gonna have some fun with the Warriors.

[@CrowClouds]

That's crazy. 23 is super young lol

[@joeschmidt6597]

@@CrowClouds the NBA used to only draft juniors and seniors out of college. There were 4-5 players drafted 18-19 years old through the 90’s, and 3 of those were in the 90’s. Keep in mind the NBA prior to 1974 teams drafted players until they just decided to stop, then the draft was 10 rounds until ‘88 when it was 3 rounds, and in ‘89 it went to the current 2 round format.

[@JP-jd8wr]

Captain Obvious thanks for that

[@nicklubrino2606]

He’s a 2nd round pick. Chances are he won’t even make the team but likely headed to the SC Warriors.

[@dvdv8197]

The combination of CP 3, TJD (and one more big) is exactly what is needed for Warriors, mainly for the non-Steph minutes. If they manage to win those or at least not lose them too heavily, they're in really good shape!! 🙏🙏👍👏

I don’t think GS will ever get a true center until Kerr retires. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Electro_Patronum]

@@gollygeology it might have something to do with the success Miami just had with a bunch of undrafted dudes who played 3-4 years of college ball. If they can get that kind of production from younger players who’ve spent more time developing in college, then those roster spots won’t be wasted on younger players who still need more development to really contribute right now

[@vpolite1]

With the additions of TJD, Podz, CP3, and subtraction of Poole, it is a return to Strength in Numbers.

[@terriblechristiangamer9128]

How do you have better highlights of him than everyone else? 🎬👏👏👏

[@Chris-bw9bq]

The big problem they are trying to solve is keeping Draymond and Steph on the floor together. They where trying to have Draymond lead the bench but the bench sucked and Stephs time on the floor was suffering to with Draymond on the bench. I think with CP3 playing his pick and roll style and leading the bench they will have way more offensive looks to switch it up when it gets repetitive.

[@Nitabita_]

Right! They had to find a way to keep the offense moving…as much as it pains me CP3 was actually a good move and adding TJD might’ve been a better one.

[@dvdv8197]

C'mon TJD, show us and the NBA what you're made of! 🙏👏

[@Soul7033]

He's perfect for the offensive minded Kerr. Draymond and Loony can help develop his low post defense. Plus he's seldom strays from the basket which helps clog the driving lanes. A perfect fit IMO

[@alasdairmacdonald9838]

He's going to have to change his mindset to be all defense too. Kerr is going to be stringy with the minutes anyway so any defensive lapses will get him off the floor real quick.

[@Urgelt]

A bargain at pick 57. If he can adapt to the insane pace, he'll be immensely valuable.

[@iamtheteapot7405]

He'll probably be with the second unit as will CP3 so I doubt the pace will be traditional warriors pace

[@Urgelt]

Watching his highlights, with his experience, his all-around game, and his stat lines... I don't understand how he lasted until late 2nd round. Regardless, the Warriors got an absolute steal.

[@coachwalk7485]

He lasted cause he doesn’t shoot at all outside the lane.

[@cnelsonlv99]

@@coachwalk7485 Interesting... I wonder if that is because he can't shoot, or because his team didn't use him that way. He was making 3-pointers with good form in those practice clips. Regardless, a guy like that doesn't necessarily need to shoot 3s.

[@StS9LBJ23]

He hasn’t even played one game yet. Why do you feel the need to label him a steal when you don’t know anything about him? Just read the comments and refrain to add your ignorant two cents.

@@StS9LBJ23 How does the fact that he hasn't played a game equate to "not knowing anything about him?" Just because you can't assess basketball talent and how it equates to the next level, doesn't mean other people can't. Watch and learn, and come back and apologize mid-season.

He's exciting certainly and brings an athleticism and size the team is missing while being a far more polished basketball player than Wiseman ever was. I'm less optimistic that some parts of his game will transition smoothly to the NBA. Against the bigger, stronger more experienced players in the league I'm not sure the shot blocking will look anywhere near as good. He'll need to learn what he can from Loon and be way more disciplined.

[@Edward-l7z]

Wiseman played more high-school games than college and pro combined probley

[@Nitabita_]

The great thing about TJD he had the highest vertical in the NBA combine I believe, so he’s way more athletic than we were here. He also played in the BIG10 which in college basketball is one of the elite conferences along with the ACC. He’s a great addition with CP3’s leadership. I think he’ll be a heck of a player.
