Don’t really see him on Homgren or Wemby. Even Horford would destroy him. He wasn’t good guarding 4s. He was ok. The idea is it is just for a moment In a good defense.
Well Chet starts at the 5 so no issue there. He wouldn’t be guarding Wemby regardless and Horford rarely starts, and usually plays the 5 when he is on the court. So those are matchups you just really wouldn’t see.
lol. jimmy started at CENTER for marquette as a sophmore and at POWER FORWARD as a junior
Lazar Hayward played more down low than Jimmy did lol.
so jimmy was still PF as a soph then... and if you looked it up youd know jae only started 17 games and vander blue started 12 who was another guard, meaning jimmy at least started those games at PF.
Marquette was also incredibly perimeter oriented because they were always the smallest team on the court. Literally just look at Basketball Reference to see what position Jimmy ended up playing the first 10 years of his NBA career. It spells it out for you.
i said modern day 3/4s all have guard skills. i never said butler could ONLY play stretch 4. everyone knows butler has started at SG/SF/PF and that is why he's not a good comp for castle. castle might never start a game at the 4 so there have to be better comps. if i ever see castle starting a game at PF in the nba even if it takes 12 years i'll give you a shoutout.
And what i’m saying is why not? Again, Jimmy didn’t start playing some 4 WELL into his NBA career. It’s naive to project one way or another that way. But, Steph is pretty much the same size, equal athletically and projects to be a great defender in his own right. Just because Steph has more refined playmaking skills earlier in his career doesn’t mean he can’t play multiple roles.
Agree with Stewie displaying shades of Caron.
He reminds me of DWade. Maybe not as explosive an athlete but his build, the way he drives but not as explosive an athlete. But again im terrible at comparisons. I once compared Daniels to Tracy McGrady. :/
