NAW was amazing last night

I was absolutely thrilled by what I saw from NAW last night. He is electric with the ball in his hands. Even with him going 1 for 10, the team was +6 with him on the floor, because he makes the offense so fluid.

He came into his first NBA game with zero fear and did exactly what he did in the preseason -- take over the game. His shot wasn't falling last night, and that'll happen to even the best shooters, but we saw enough in the summer league and preseason to know that his 3-pt % is going to be good.

NAW got 2 steals and 4 rebounds yesterday in just 11 minutes, and I think that his length at 6'5" has really been overlooked in terms of the overall benefit to the team when he's out there.

I now firmly believe that NAW is going to displace Ball as the starting PG by the end of the year (and I think that Ball is good!), and that, in another year, he'll be talked about in the same league as Lillard, Curry, Harden, Paul, and Irving -- one of the NBA's elite point guards.

I'm putting this down as a marker.

If this kid had been drafted in the top 5, everyone would see it, but people are still discounting him based on where he was picked. I'm not, because I'm going to believe my eyes.

After the draft, we talked about how the team eventually gets to the place where it can be a title contender, and we looked at all the future picks that we have and talked about how we could trade some of them to get another star to go with Zion.

What we didn't consider that we might have already drafted our second star. Don't forget that the Warriors became a dynasty because they drafted Steph, Klay, and Draymond. If you've got a smart front office, you don't have to trade to acquire talent. We drafted our own trio this year, sons, and we still have the poker chips to get more, and the future is glorious.
