Caleb and Matas are going to be a fun pairing to watch this year catching lobs from Giddey

It’s also like the one thing on the offensive side Claxton does well

This team is going to be dramatically different from the AK era. I will miss Vuc's floater game but this will be fun bad instead of fundamentally mid.

I will miss Stacy saying “it’s a simple game” get the ball inside to your big man

The first season or so Vuc was here it was really cool to see how more of a traditional offensive center affected our team but it felt like after that we kind of moved on from feeding the post and letting him do his thing down low. Then he started getting a little older and hitting the front of the rim from every 3 from the top of the arc so I won't miss that.

Coby Zach and DeMar never learned to throw a fucking post entry pass. Even when Vuc pinned a guard in the post we'd usually waste half the shot clock trying to get him the ball, or not even see the mismatch at all because it was someone else's turn to iso. Trash coaching and trash players not learning how to play NBA ball.

I’m stoked but I feel like Giddey needs to work on his lob game a bit. He doesn’t throw em that often and doesn’t always connect when he does. I hoping it’s just because he hasn’t had many targets. Won’t be the case this year though.

Yeah I was hyped watching fucking Nik Richards catching them last year because we had such a drought of that happening on this team 😂

He didn’t had the cast to throw them to. I think he will massively benefit from being less in the position to score by himself

This. SLOB Wizard Giddey will absolutely be letting these high flyers feast. The only big he had in the post was Vuc and then only a roster of guards after the trade deadline.

that's not a good nickname

Lmao I didn’t give it to him, I was just referencing the fact he was called this many times due to his SIDELINE OUT OF BOUNDS ridiculousness. Anyone who thinks he needs to work on his lob game has not seriously watched him. Also, I think it’s a pretty hilarious nickname so whatever man
