I went to Bowling Green, OHIO all 4 years Plowden was there, we had some pretty decent teams and players but he was always the one with NBA potential. Im telling you this kid can jump outta the building. He needed to work on his shot the most and over the years he has, work ethic unlike anyone else. I worked for BG football as an intern in 2019 and would take the bus at 6/7am to get to the stadium and every morning Daeqwon was on there getting off to work at the arena. You guys got more than a steal, you got a legit piece that will help later in the years
LOVED Juan T, but Plowden looks a whole lot better. Agree they both have that motor, but JTA's shot was serviceable at best and his mobility could never truly match his hustle & heart. Plowden is much better athletically on both sides of the ball But yeah, our roster is looking like it has similar, hungry "young vets" like we had in '22. I'm loving it
@@MushiePuppet17JTA is a better passer though. His dimes were low key the most underrated part of his game and switch ability on defense. Don’t think Plowden is in that level. Def a better scorer and shooter though.
Absolutely a believer! I saw him a few weeks ago hit 6-9 threes smooth almost didn’t break a sweat! I was like sign him before some other team… He looked the best guy on floor, like lottery pick level… Had to do some intel. His D was excellent dunking on people stays in flow of offense. People in camp better watch out this dude is coming for minutes! Very athletic and very smooth at same time that’s rare air!👏✍💼
Kcp is such a good comp… from those highlights he seems like a hustle player/athlete turned into shooter like a JR smith did later in his career. Hustle player, high motor, shooter, athlete, driver, good sg/sf size… he checks off a lot of boxes, I’m also excited now lol…. The guard position just got even deeper! (Podz, hield, melton, curry, gp2, moody, plowden, etc lol)
Yeah I don’t want them to trade either of them I think moody still has a chance of staying maybe but gp2 just feels like he doesn’t fit in the team that is currently being built, his inability to shoot just puts him at a massive disadvantage
I’d keep moody and GP2, I’d trade Wiggins and podz for Lauri. if healthy, gp2 is still our #1 defender on the roster esppecially come playoffs. Plus he gives us versatility playing as small big man, no other player does that. Moody is just an X factor needed for every team, who hasn’t played but has proven he can impact a game when he does. Maybe we sign him for a friendly contract end of next season due to the log jam and lack of minutes (but not fair to him tbh). Plus remmeber melton only signed a one year deal, he probably plans to be a one and done like divincenzo so moody would be needed even more if he leaves. If gp2 and moody play poorly this season tho, then we let them walk in free agency and pay up kuminga and melton to extend their contract. I think that’s a Win win situation but risky because if moody and gp2 play well we probably can’t pay all 4 next year (kuminga, gp2, moody, melton). Podz has high value rn tho so I’d leverage that and trade podz and Wiggins plus 2 first and 2 pick swap for Lauri plus clarkson. This is a nice trade for Utah too: allows them to go full tank mode for the #1 overall pick and gets picks, a promising triple dub threat in podz, and flip Wiggins for a first round pick or multiple seconds. Warriors go all in now on curry’s timeline while keeping most of the young core together (TJD, kuminga and moody). I’m also kinda ok with switching kuminga for podz but lowkey think id regret this because kuminga and Mauri would be a cold inside out compliment on offense and defense.
Just need to let dub nation know I met Klay today in Costa Mesa and got photos! I told him I was the only warriors fan in So Cal since I'm from the Bay and I was going to miss him. He was chill and said he's excited about Dallas but he didn't look excited.... I think he's deeply saddened by everything that took place.
We are beginning to look DEEP and COMPETITIVE again. As long as Kerr runs it right, we will definitely become thorns in some teams side.. We have shooters in the starting 5 and on the bench. We yave some much needed defenders, more important we have a few guys to hold it down while Steph takes his normal vacation. Leave the Spurs out and run this. We have plenty of time...
hopefully the assistant coaches will help keep this team in check in terms of discipline and also help Kerr as well. I felt like Atkinson was a “yes man” for him. Mike Brown wasn’t like that and that’s why the team did good with him. Last year they blew too many leads and bc it of, they were the 10th seed. When they could’ve been a top 5 seed had they not blown at least half of them. Kerr needs to be better tho, the youth is what helped them last szn. He has to trust it. We have depth but I do think that they are only missing a certified 2nd option behind Curry and another big. Ik Mike isn’t done yet this offseason but I like the direction this team is going
Alch I know you can ageee, Plowden gives me Jordan Poole vibes. I really feel like he can become a spark of the bench. He’s been fantastic on both ends this summer. 😮
YES YES YESSSSSS!!!!! This guy is so good!!!!! Glad he was able to earn a contract, honestly should be a REAL Nba contract that is fully guaranteed!!!! He’s been HOOPING in Summer league
Right on again Alch! Loved the highlight reel. Heck of a find for the Dubs. Philly breeds tough smart ball players a la the 'Nova Boys. I'm excited for the coming year and love that the rest of the league seems to be sleeping on the Warriors.
Plowden has looked amazing. I said yesterday they better sign this guy because he won't be available after the summer league. He should get an opportunity to showcase his skills at some point during the regular season. I wish him the best. He's a well-balanced player offensively and unselfish and HUNGRY...with good size...
What's so dope about his game, & what shows his work ethic most...is that his shooting was what he needed to work on the most while in college. And now, it's a strong point for him!!! I had a front row to watch his development while in college, for he played with my son. So dope to see the blessings coming his way!!
This is Kerr's kind of dude--underrated, high motor, plays a mature game. I don't know man... he might actually get playing time. It also helps that he's already like 25.
Just wanted to say I recently subscribed to your channel I like Golden State Warriors but more so I want to tell you that you're doing a great job keep up the good work I am a RU-vid junkie I watch tons of videos from Tech to sports everything in this video that you just put together on this young man so well put together and so well documented and you showed all the different areas it was very very good and I want to take the time to tell you that keep up the good work man you're doing a great job very professional I'm enjoying you
Pretend for a minute that Moody is new . He is playing in the summer league . Don’t you think he would be scoring over 30 plus rebounding. So please don’t automatically say that Moody won’t get playing time. He should get his chance and be starting at that . Go Dubs
Seens like we have a lot of redundant pieces, and another probable rotational player at the wing, if we don't get lauri i would ship some of those to try a clint capela trade or another viable starting center, maybe a deal that gives us lavine and vucevic
Everyone getting playtime this year and our future starters are gona be podziemski moody plowden kuminga and Jackson !! Then bring some more guys as role players.. This year is ours!! Let's go Dubs!
@@peloncito707 Shooter, Footwork, IQ, plays excellent defense and he's set good screens. He haven't play to many game due to injury. Watch Post against the heat on Sunday
Gotta agree with you 100% Alch Daequon looks to be all that . . . if Post is able to contribute the Dubs don't need Markannen. Really don't want to see the Warriors mortgage their future. This year's training camp will be ferocious. I'm excited for how this team is shaping up. Only real question/concern, what about Wiggs?
Heat have done this for a few years now, where they swap out guys on 2-way contracts regularly since they don't count against the cap. I'm a bit surprised more teams don't do this.
With no trade, the warriors are 500k under the hard cap. Meaning they cannot sign a 15th player, meaning Post HAS to take the 2 way to be with the team. If a trade did happen and they sent out more salary than they brought in, they could sign Post to a roster spot to free up another 2 way slot.
@@ninerempire3398 why not tho , he 6’6” which is perfect for a off guard, I get you sayin they not the same role but I’m just sayin it’s a possibility, high energy type of guy like podz but longer and athletic which is what warriors need more of
@@Jaye0ne I think they desperately need more playmaking and ball handling next to steph. That’s not plowden’s game. Curry will be run down by the end of the season if there is no second ball handler on the team. I think plowden is more of a replacement for moody, they play similarly and plowden is much more athletic
I love the signing after watching him in summer league. The other things I've enjoyed seeing in summer league is TJD and Bolden contesting every attempt at a layup. It's been a while I've seen a warriors lineup with that level of rim protection. As much as I like the signing, it further complicates our guard/wing rotations with Podz, Moody, Lester, GP2, Kuminga, Wiggins, leaving Kerr with more options to mess around with rotations. All I can say is thank God Klay walked. I'd like to see Wiggins traded for some size. If you look at the Dallas blueprint, they had a proven rotation for the last half of the season, allowing them to get maximum chemistry and effort out of role players like PJ and Jones Jr. I think it's going to be another messy and unproductive season.
Alch, you are correct, you can swap the two-way guys and drop them - warriors literally do that every off season. Remember, last season, they signed Javan Johnson just like Beekman immediately post-draft to a two-way contract... then dropped him even before preseason. So those two-ways are fluid.
This is interesting. We’re still small though, so I agree that it’s been disappointing not to see Quentin Post. Our small ball will be pretty fire 🔥 but I feel like Trayce, Dray, Loon gonna get worn down and banged up on rim protection/rebounding duty.throughout the course of a season.
Hey, bring on the home grown young talent man. I like that idea much more than making a huge gamble mortgaging the franchise's future on one player who is miraculously supposed to deliver us a ring.
Q. Post has been dealing with a minor calf injury. This was known during the draft process and Dubs announced he would not be participating in Summer League. I dunno what is up with Reece B.
I’m joking when I say this but this team really trynna find any way or reason to not play Moody the minutes he deserves 💀💀. Nah but seriously, Plowden definitely looks the part and having confidence in him to contribute wouldn’t be too crazy
That’s under the direction of management who doesn’t want the player to make a case for themselves to get paid top dollar or for another team to want them. It’s not Kerr.
@@loaces2k6 cuz you was the one who brought his name up wym? Like why bring his name up if the original comment you’re responding to never even mentioned him
