Queen, Missi, and Peavy attended.

After watching the only thing I could think about is how blessed we are having Joel Meyers as a part of this organization.

Yup, about the same takeaway here. I used to get excited from these as they felt like fresh ideas were being introduced and purging bad practices. This feels 100% like business as usual.
Joel fricking rocks.

When he said, "You have guys that can guard." (20:45) and then singled out DQ (among others) as a versatile defender who can defend multiple positions, it told me all I had to know about Mosley. From the beginning, I didn't want a re-tread. I heard a whole lot of 'coach-speak', mindless platitudes, and double-talk.
Until, and unless, Dumars and Weaver address the multiple holes in this 'versatile roster', I expect more of the same.
"Play it again, Sam".
DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!

Queen needing to be a better defender but his ability to defend multiple positions are not mutually exclusive thoughts.

Not last year...not now...and not ever. His hips are way too stiff to think otherwise. He will never be able to defend in space...NEVER!!! And players like Victor who can make him work inside and outside will routinely destroy him.

Queen looked really good against Wemby when I watched him. His bulk is just tough, and Wemby couldn't bang with him. I don't think that'll be the usual match up. But Queen can give him problems.

I don't believe this. Queen is still maturing. He's going to lean out, get quicker and stronger. It just takes time, but he has high IQ and will find ways to make an impact.
Queen is going to be in the NBA a long time. He's a little younger than Wemby (about a year). But he'll play way, way longer. By the time it's over, I bet he plays close to double the games Wemby does..

I don't know about him playing twice as long as Wemby, but I do think he has the Bball IQ and quick hands to be a good defender. He had some very opportunistic steals last year and showed the ability to guard in spurts. So if he can get quicker and leaner, and Mosley instills the defense first mentality, I think he can be a decent team defender. Not sure about his switchability beyond 4s and 5s tho. But how many bigs can really do that?

It's just a coach speaking positively about his new team. Did you expect him to come into his introductory press conference and start hounding on guys weaknesses or something? Every intro press conference in the history of press conferences is nothing but coach talk.

Aside from the fact that he wasn't that bad against Wemby, why is Wemby the baseline for judging defense? Everybody looks bad against Wemby. At this point we need him to be able to defend Cedric Coward, Deni Advija, and John Collins. I'm just trying to get past other bottom feeders than I am worried about the Spurs.
