To win or not to win @ GS - dilemma

See I didn't even know they could jump high. I thought the knock on both of them was they were both 3/4 tweeners. Sorry to derail the thread, I'll go check out the draft thread.

Tweener is overused word IMO.

Still don't consider Williams a tweener, just think he has been misused his entire career as a SF. He has enough size to be a PF. 6'9 with a 9' standing reach. His main problems where that he wasn't a very good defender, and developed a bad shot selection in attempt to be a SF w/ the Wolves.

Gordon is a very good defender, has a good frame (yes, he is skinny right now, but he has a frame that can add strength), is extremely athletic, wants to defend, has a great handle, has great intangibles, etc. He pretty much has everything besides shooting and sub-par offensive touch.

His biggest concern is his horrendous FT shooting, but his form doesn't appear to be broken (like a MKG or Brewer). He actually shoot 3's though (not a lot, but will take them in rhythm if he is open) and he does hit them (32% on 1 attempt per game). He also doesn't finish as well as you would think around the rim.

He has gotten better as of late though. His last 6 games he has been averaging 15 points per game, and that is with an outlier performance of 3 points vs. Utah. If he could ever develop a jump shot that would approach a Marvin-level, he would be great because of his ability to defend the post and perimeter.
 
GSW's schedule isn't very bad from here on out and they've got more home games vs. away. Unless you see Curry go down with vaginaitis, I don't think they could be overtaken by both Memphis and Minny.

It's Dallas and Phoenix that need to keep up, along with Memphis continuing to climb.
 
I don't know how GS has such an easy schedule to finish things up. They play Orl, Mil, NYK, Sac, Uta, Den, @LAL, @Den in their last 14 games. Hopefully GS will lose most of their games against the better teams, because that is 8 somewhat easy wins right there.
 
considering I don't want Vonleh, Gordon, or Smart, or really anyone after them, I put all my eggs in the increased lottery chances the 6th slot gives you.
