Jesus he runs quick. Was Wiseman ever as fast as Trayce?

the more i see jackson-davis the more he reminds me of biedrins from about 15 years ago … maybe because both were left handed and really good around the paint in terms of doing most of their scoring at the rim for the most part
now big difference is jackson-davis is 23 right now which is as old as you see any rookies now in this day and age of the NBA whereas biedrins came into the league as an 18 year old in 2004 but then saw his NBA career start declining at this same age as jackson-davis is now as biedrins’ NBA career peaked in his early 20s from 2006/07 – 2008/09 as he was a double double machine during that time
a lot forget how good and promising biedrins was early on as in those 3 seasons from ages 20-22 years old he averaged 10.5 pts 10.0 reb 1.3 ast 1.5 blk in 29 minutes
jackson-davis and biderins weigh about the same at around 240-245 lbs but jackson-davis isn’t as tall as biedrins was as he was 6’11” while jackson-davis is 6’9″ but in this day and era most NBA teams don’t necessarily need to have 7′ to play the center position anymore in their lineups … also think jackson-davis is probably a better all around athlete than biedrins was who wasn’t a slouch himself
also can imagine jackson-davis continuing to get better going forward although because he’s 23 years old his ceiling likely isn’t as high as most in his 2023 draft class but i think his floor is pretty high and unlike with biedrins i doubt jackson-davis will see his career complete derail 4-5 years into the NBA although injuries probably played a role in his decline but i also don’t think biedrins cared much about improving or working hard anymore to get back to his previous healthy form after he signed his massive extension in 2008 either
remember i think most warriors fans for a few years were hoping and projecting at a time that ellis and biedrins would be their own version of a 1-2 punch at the guard and center positions … ellis won most improved player in the NBA in 2006/07 while biedrins finished 5th that same season … it seemed as the warriors during that era hit the “jackpot” with a pair of young players who were seen as potential corner stones to this warriors franchise
course that was before the warriors drafted curry in 2009

He missed some easy passes to Steph when he got open, it was 2 consecutive possessions. If he learns to read Steph movements better he will be an important facilator.

My favorite play was the first half run-down and block, chased the attacker cut his path to the basket and proceeded to swat his shot (chef’s kiss).

What an ugly court.

Excited to see how he develops. He’s already a great finisher around the rim, shotblocker, etc but he can do more IMO based on his college tape. He showed he can be a great passer and had a nice middle game. I agree with the plan of introducing him as a rim runner this year, but want to see more next year.
Next year I wouldn’t be surprised to see him do more iso post ups or run possessions through him at the block or the elbow. He can make the right pass, or face up and take some guys off the dribble.
