Gabe Vincent Discussion: JJ Would Love 10 Gabe Vincents

lol, look at him root sabonis off the block to prevent a potential offensive rebound. that gets my hoop juices flowing.

 

I don't get it. Irwin AND most importantly Larsuel said there's those within the team (Larsuel is within the team!) who aren't confident he's ready to come back. I can't figure why his people are pushing this. He's locked up for 3 years.

He'll eat Max's minutes. All of them. And Cam's depending on matchup. Gabe is the smallest guy on the team, still think Cam gets the looks against SFs and bigger 2s. He's going to be rusty. His shot isn't going to be there. His conditioning isn't going to be there. He hasn't (really) played this year. Shouldn't play this year. We have a wing and guard rotation that finally works and makes sense. Now we're trying to work this in.

 

Lol scored the only bench points today.

Well, he did his POA defender job decently today...hello to more minutes.

 

#fundamentals

 

I’m not gonna be like @LTLakerFan and celebrate the 2pts he scored like he’s MJ but that’s something

 

Nothing to not like today except again shots not dropping. Yet. He’s probably quicker laterally than any of our other guards? Taller than Schroder and looks like a bulldog with his build. Definitely will have more offense than Cam if we need that at the time plus the tough POA defense.

 

I’m hoping you’re right and he becomes a Dfish type in the playoffs.

 

His second half was bad but a lot of rusty type mistakes.

Still could see with Vando back the bench unit becomes totally new. Prince , Cam and max lose most of their minutes to Gabe Dinwiddie and Vando since they have more 2 way pop

 

Does he have the runway to get where he needs to be?

I think that's what it boils down to. I don't think he does. He's missed the season and that's not a switch that you can nearly just flip on and off.

 

So huge tonight with that sick bank shot trailhead away. I think he called it.

 

Some solid defense for his first game. If he can do that nightly, sure go ahead and eat Max and Cam's minutes. Maybe some TP, but that will mean going small and I'm against that.

I think there will be matchups where we need Cam's length instead of Gabe, so I don't think he should automatically pull Cam into default DNP zone.

I didn't like some of the lineups we used with Gabe out there even with this defense. Three guard lineups when two of them aren't/ can't shoot or score will be brutal against playoff level teams.

 

Yeah, his defense is good. Hopefully, his offense can come around a bit by the play-in.
As for the guys he was in the court with: I’m tired of typing the same thing about Ham over and over again.

 

Out for Toronto . How could we ever live without his 2 pts off the bench

 

Uh Oh ^^^ Cam out for personal reasons. Is he pissed because he just lost his minutes to Gabe?





JK

I think

 

Faith in the training staff?!

Gabe definitely hasn't been around the team during his injury.

 

Honestly idk why everyone so hyped about Gabe...thought he looked OK and of course, Ham used multiple 3-guard lineups and even had one where it was Prince at the 4 and Castleton at the 5 with those 3-guard lineups.

Gabe Vincent being effective for us will come down to Ham being logical with his lineups and not over-thinking it like he has in the past and STAYING AWAY FROM 3-GUARD LINEUPS against BIGGER TEAMS. It worked against BKN cuz they use smaller lineups but it won't work against majority of the western conference. Going to be very annoyed when he does that in the next few games
