Trayce Jackson-Davis Needs More Minutes…

[@dreyeezy8671]

this is what we wanted wiseman to be, not post up every play asking for the ball and clog the paint and setting half assed screens

[@MZAF-g9s]

Fuck Wiseman. He's a bust.

[@rj_lab]

Agree!

[@vanzantihero87]

Given Wiseman's quickness and perimeter shooting.. He could've done this only if he has higher Basketball IQ which prob'ly he would've develop if he stayed 3 more years in college.

[@abprepboy33]

@@vanzantihero87 wiseman is pretty bad. I dont think he would ever have the hands that tjd has, and wiseman lacks awareness on the floor. I saw a video of him playing where a rebound literally hit him on the shoulder and he was looking around for the ball. (lack of awareness)

[@djdoc06]

⁠@@abprepboy33 Wiseman doesn’t seem to have the mentality to be a big asset in the NbA. Guy just has no motor, and no attention span. No matter how athletic and, you have to read and react and move smartly in 2023 NBA defense or the other team will get a high quality scoring opportunity every time down the court. He can put up numbers by grabbing some boards and getting garbage points, but the opponents will pick on Wiseman in actions every time down the court. When he rested 1.5 seasons, he should have been studying, but maybe he’s just not able to figure this stuff out.

[@ichigolo]

draymond getting suspended was a blessing in disguise FINALLY TJD and kuminga gets more mins

[@Criminal.Lawyer.2024]

Looney is and has been a true soldier for the Warriors. Personally, I think Looney needs to re-energize. Sharing minutes with Trayce will surely benefit Loon and the team.

[@harrisonwekesa5406]

Agreed, man has played 2 seasons without a break maybe the wear and tear is catching up with him. He needs his break

[@lucky889s9]

Lonney is already past his prime. Getting beat all the time against younger opponents in 12 losses. He can start, but Davis should play more minutes than him.

[@electrospud9230]

Loon is a warrior, that being said, I think the coaching staff need to address the fact that you want a steady hand in critical games, and really most games in the regular season should be played by the young guys of the team, the coaching needs to put the vets in when its absolutely necessary, that lethal starting five last season needs a break and not carry too much of the offensive and defensive load, the team of CP3 and the young guys can and should start most nights that they play giving the vets a lot more time to rest and heal up

[@Criminal.Lawyer.2024]

@@electrospud9230 I think all the extra playoff games over the years is catching up with the Big 4. Looney is a "true" professional and will do whatever is best for the team and for winning.

[@famahfataelmahoo5310]

His ability to NOT bring the ball down when he catches it 👌🏽 So many times Looney got blocked because of that.

[@abprepboy33]

@@lucky889s9 1) looney is 27. Not sure anybody would consider that past his prime. 2) Looney's hop has always been super low having said that, it appears looney is getting more clumbsy. For example.... for a guy who doesnt get off the ground on his inside shots- he winds up falling to the ground and rolling around on a very high percentage of shots. Then he is out of the play on the defensive side of the ball too.

[@shadoka9409]

I don't mind if they keep Looney as the starter but Trayce Jackson Davis definitely needs more minutes especially since we're already undersized and he can guard other team's bigs well. Having him share minutes with Looney too would help take the burden off Looney's back at the center position everyday.

[@lucky889s9]

Agree. Same with wiggins. Podz, kuminga, moody, TJD can hold their ground. Add CP3 point god handling the ball, and GP2 when he's back, will elevate the team

[@nomomania6827]

Yeah as long as TJD gets meaningful minutes and inserted into finishing lineup based on matchup

[@jpnoy]

Thank you I dont get why people disrespect Looney saying that he needs to be replaced he help the warriors so many years getting second rebounds. All I want is TJD to get more mins that way Looney aint burn out every game. Start TJD or not dont matter he can help either starters or 2nd unit with Cp3. #strengthinnumbers

[@jonyboi21]

I mind…looney needs to go…I don’t want to see him in the lineup anymore he’s terrible and can’t play a cp3

Honestly Looney is better off the bench he could fill in the Zaza role, TDJ fills in what wiseman was supposed to be.

[@frankpesco7723]

Davis gives them an inside -- outside game, he can finish at the rim Loony can't. The other team can't over play the outside. Davis is a beast.

[@andonself8495]

Trayce is one of the most consistent players in college too. So it’s not just a one shot wonder time game

[@lucky889s9]

4 year college brings maturity and decision making

[@abprepboy33]

Agreed, trayce might not be a super star talent. But he plays within his game and he makes an effort to only do things he's good at doing. Its not like a perimeter player who just got really hot one night. There is o reason to believe that tjd cant give productive minutes on a consistent basis. It also helps that his skill set is something the warriors rotation is lacking. The opposing team has to adjust when he is on the floor.... and that adjustment often means making a choice between closing out hard on shooters or dropping back protecting the rim. Most teams can recover on Looney. I feel like kuminga can do it to some degree but he doesnt think the same way tjd does.

[@dianepeel7154]

TJD needs to start and play most of the game. They can rest him in the 4th and make sure he closes out all the games. His play is vastly superior to Looney. It's not even close. He's much quicker than Looney, better scoring threat inside, will score on rebounds, better rebounder, shot blocker, better at pick n roll, overall a much quicker, smoother, more athletic center. He matches well with Kuminga. Some of the people commenting don't get it. They say TJD should be put into the rotation. No, he should start and play most of the game. He's a future all-star.

[@markcarey67]

He doesn't need more minutes he needs to start

[@samfart-ln2rx]

Tjd needs to be subbed in after every roster change him and saric should share minutes with looney

[@13kulig]

His timing is really good and he always looking for an open space to get the ball back to score.

[@415javito]

Will always Love big looney💪🏽 but it’s TJD time for right now 🤞🏽

[@allind1everydealtrader224]

Looney in playoff is rebound machine. But in regular ss, he is average player NBA. But he is a true soldier.

[@lucky889s9]

He's now also older and slower. Always getting beat by younger opponents in those 12 losses

[@electrospud9230]

people keep forgetting how good looney is, that being said he should not be playing heavy minutes in regular season games, you want him fresh after the regular season grind. That means more minutes to round out the needed experience of TJD since he operates exclusively in the paint, heck you can even have him play with Saric since Saric prefers to shoot outside on the pick n pop plays with CP3 leaving TJD to do what he does best, rebound the ball and provide defensive presence in the box.

[@jasonjones1192]

Yes! Start him over Looney now. Jk needs to continue to start over green too.

Everybody that understands basketball knows TJD is better than looney. There is a guy Jim park who has been bashing Kerr for not playing the kid. Looney is not even a starting caliber center in the nba

[@willtan2787]

definitely.. he's quick, knows how to rebound and most of all a good rim protector

[@fenderbender5987]

Kerr needs to stop holding onto the core 5. Rookies add athleticism, youth and energy to counter other youthful teams coming up. Looney needs to come off the bench when the team needs an enforcer in the middle, he cant play above the rim, is slow and flat footed and often misses layups.

[@alrs1006]

[@stanleymoumolua1446]

The kid spent 4 years in college. I hope kids Learn from his situation. I knew he was a steal in the draft when I saw him play in college

[@sueinman142]

As an IU fan in Indiana, I knew the Warriors had something special. Not sure about him starting, as it’s still new experience but his only ambition is to be great in his bb skills. He’s not interested in drama. Wish Green would just disappear. Not good for the team in my opinion. ❤TJD and following your team closely!

[@9some]

good thing about him is he can rim-protect & also the perimeter

[@Zekkon666]

Looney must remain in the starting five. He played longer years with the core after all and we don't forget that he led the league in offensive board last post season. TJD however is young and full of energy. He can fit with the team regardless of what unit he is playing with. For me, the real thing is it's better to play TJD during crunch time.

[@BrianSwish]

We really got a gem in TJD!

[@Tac0maAr0ma]

Love Loon for life but it’s time for a switch. Start TJD, bring Dario off the bench and use Loon as the reliable third option when you need him. It makes too much sense but Kerr too loyal so just hoping that foul trouble isn’t the only reason we get to see him playing big minutes for the rest of the season.

[@cleanslate2004]

When Clay & Wigs were on their mark there wasn't as much pressure on Looney. He got his rebounds, set his screens, scored a few shots. He worked hard & was well liked & a great team mate. He's not a spark tho. He's a steady dependable guy, but not all that athletic, with no hops at all. I love that guy, but right now the Warriors need more from their center to make up for the inconsistencies elsewhere. Trace is also a very smart intuitive player. He's always where he needs to be & has the length, stretch, drive & speed to out hussel a Lotta bigs. The Dubs bench is loaded with spark & athleticism that they sorely needed. When TJD, Kuminga, Podziemski are out there, they create come backs. If the Dubbs were to have any chance in the play offs, their gonna have to give these guys more time.

[@djdoc06]

Looney really suffered from Wiggins shooting so badly. So did Klay. The Looney Dray lineup relies on 2 transcendent and 1 very good shooter, with 2 non shooters. With Wiggins no longer a decent shooter, the whole lineup sucks at offense. Because defenses can just bum rush Steph and live with 4 on 3 with only Klay as a real shooting threat.

[@bodies_by_corpus]

He way better than Looney at everything. Matter of fact, he does everything well that Dario and Loon are poor at. I’ve seen enough, give TJD his minutes.

[@mskennedy80]

right. like what are we even talking about??? he's the second coming of Tim duncan

[@user-sf9mh1ms4q]

Loney is one of key players why the Warriors won the championships! Kerr finally or hopefully saw the reality that he needs bigs to compete with this young NBA teams. After so many loses he should change his small ball coaching, and minute based rotation techniques. It may work in the past but his old players are not as fast as before.

[@thelowprofile9767]

Looney does not realize that he has to contribute points also to the team. How many times have I watched him where he is free to shoot within 5 to 10 feet away but he doesn't have the confidence to make a shot. All he does is screen and yes he rebounds too but this can be done by other centers as well. When Warriors is on the offensive, the opposing team does not even guard Looney because they know that he hardly shoots.

[@toolleff44]

No need for Davis to be in first five, he just need more minutes

[@valsteve2000]

I dont know why Coach Steve is not seeing it. Ive watched the pre-season and ive seen Davies athleticism and potentials, when the regular season started i scratched my head why he just benched him in those past games . Its high time now that Kerr should field Davies in the starting five. He can defend, score inside and is quicker in pick and roll. It seems his legs has a spring, he can jump 3 times agaisnt 1 with anybody in the court.

There is a difference between the younger and the older. Trayce is looking better on the floor than Loon. It's definitely showing. The only consistent one is Steph. Thank goodness, Klay has had some good back to backs. Let's go, Warriors!!! 😊

[@DS14972]

Kerr loves old guys so much that young fellas like TJD, Moody and Kuminga won’t be able to play long minutes.

[@derekboberg9766]

I love loon, but I think there are games where we should have two bigs on the floor at a time. So loon and Davis should both play, or saric and either should play at the same time.

You forgot to mention 3 blocks in that game

[@leonangelarevalo2596]

[@pacolilzz515]

It would be nice if Davis has Looney's ultra wide shoulder. I think shoulder width is Davis's weakness.

[@donnadenton9738]

Why was tjd donor play coaches decision jan 25 ???? What the heck.

[@alasdairmacdonald9838]

It's not even a question. Kerr has to have rocks in his head if he can't see the value of simple rim protection on defence and being a vertical spacer and genuine roller on offense. Loon has been a dawg over the years but the guy is slow AF and has no athleticism whatsoever. His rebounding has been elite but frankly that is about all he brings to the table these days along with setting screens. His finishing ability around the rim briefly got a little better but has regressed and putting him and Dray on the court is just asking to lose big time at this point. Thanks Loon for the service but at most he should be a backup center in a properly established second unit where his limitations can be more easily accounted for.

[@seinundzeiten]

that guy can jump

[@klephenthurry3284]

I want TJD to develop in the GLeague as well as get minutes for NBA. He needs as many reps as possible.

[@danelson78]

From a purely basketball standpoint, I love Draymond. But TJD will be better then Draymond in every single aspect of his game. Probably not an All Star, but the exact kind of guy you want to pair with 1-2 All Stars to be a perfect role player. And I'll be surprised if TJD ever picks up a technical foul. Trayce is a true professional.

[@joelm3954]

TJD over KL anytime. Looney is a very important part of the team as a backup center and at times during crunch time.

[@klephenthurry3284]

Everyone is having recency bias. Looney should be our starter, but absolutely agree that TJD should get more minutes and especially more minutes with the starting lineup to see what he can do. Eventually maybe we can have a more realistic conversation of this, but Looney has been solid for us the entire damn time. Stop betraying our players who do us right just from a bad game or two.

He should play but not at the expense of Looney. Loon has been the one constant and reliable player when Klay and Steph were out. And when Draymond refused to step up and be a leader in their absence. If anything he should be starting with Steph,Klay, Looney and Wiggens. Go big so you can compete with teams like Minnesota,Denver,, Lakers, Clippers because all rhose teams dominate the Warriors with their size.

People who think that it would have made sense to bench guys who are vets who got you a championship 2 years ago, as soon as rookies appear to be playing well or better, have never coached anything meaningful in their life. Lots of times, young guys play well early because they’re not on the scouting report and playing against the other bench. Plus it’s terrible for team chemistry if starters have to look over their shoulder whenever they have a shooting slump. It’s not about squeezing every possible win and slotting players in and out like machine parts. It’s maintaining and improving a team of humans.
