Walt Clayton is a Dog

This kid is a hooper. We missed out on Edgecombe (which is still extremely painful) but WCJ brings the same type of "I don't get rattled" mentality.

His size doesn't do him any favors on defense, but he already knows where the ball is going next and is tough.

Once he finds his 3pt shot—which, I think, is inevitable—it's going to be hard to keep him out of the starting lineup.
 
Eh, I noticed that in the first half he went a couple of time right under our basket and took the rebound away from our bigs, in the vintage Westbrook style. I did not like that.
Stupid stupid stupid complaint

Give me players who fight for boards even if it's sometimes friendly fire over players who don't
 
Guards getting boards is a good thing as they can push pace and catch the other team sleeping or just get into the offense faster. I don't see much downside to it.
There are some obvious guard stealing boards from bigs situations, but for the most part you don't have the luxury as a player to stop and think of you need to hustle for the board. Just be on that time 100% of the time.
 
There was one board he fought for last night against Sabonis that really impressed me (I think we didn't end up recovering the ball, but it was still fun to see)
Yeah, the one where he came in and bumped Sabonis in the air and nabbed it, but he was off balance and did a stumble turnover directly after. Just love the way he throws his body to get rebounds. Definitely something the Jazz have been missing. Rubio was good at that kind of rebounding too. Those rebounds that are right below the FT area where a smart/active guard can get rebounds over bigs who are planted too deep.
