Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

To be fair, Adou has been injured pretty well the whole season. He had a knee injury to start the season and then picked up MCL sprain in his knee. Not sure he could of got anymore time as he wasn't healthy.

 

At his size do you think he will be able to actually handle POA to stay in front of the good ones? 2s, 3s and 4s shouldn’t be a problem if he’s the real deal. Switched onto them … sure a bit but I mean him getting the assignment?

 

Don't know yet - Lebron was the POA defender for the Heat against Rose so the big on little switch works but it's admittedly rare.
Theiro reminds of Reddish the way he plays defense but Theiro is build in Aaron Gordon mold - you have to play him to see what you got.

 

At Kentucky he could defend 1-3 well. He is 6'8 with a 7'3 wingspan and built like an ox. I think he could be huge on the defensive end, but I'm not sure if he can be a long term POA defender. I think he'll be that 2-4 defensive guy.

I actually think Bronny has some real nice defense at 1-3. Guy's a really great athlete, fast and strong as hell. There's a world where both guys develop into great 3&D guys in a Bronny, Reaves, Luka, Adou lineup. I doubt it'll happen because we aren't a patient organisation, but both young guys have the tools.

 

I see the same in Bronny but get killed even saying it by two here. Keep working on his handles, clean up the mental mistakes, start hitting a good % of the variety of shots he can get off and look the hell out. I think by the time he starts his prime physically in 3-4 more years he’s going to be a beast at 6’3”.

 

It is what it is, most of the fanbase dislike his dad and feel like he is a nepo baby. As a result, they're waiting on his downfall. I for one admire his tenacity to have cardiac arrest and come back to play professional sports, he has beat all of his haters with that alone.

I'm not sure how he can develop on the offensive side, but defensively I think he'll be an above average defender at the minimum. As a tertiary playmaker and someone who can hit 3's at a good clip, he'd be valuable as a bench piece. If he can be a 40% 3pt shooter and a good defender, he can start on some teams and be a playoff rotation player. We'll see I guess.
