Golden working out for the Lakers today

Interesting that he will play with Chris Clemons - they both played in the Mooney-style offense. Have to imagine there’s some similar ways they look at playing offense.

Jokic was overlooked and drafted in the 2nd because everyone believed he wasn't athletic enough. they were wrong. with that length, his shooting, and his passing skills he became a star without the typical NBA athleticism.

Jokic was also between 4-5 years younger than Grant entering the draft

Grant is 24 and was incredible for us. Jokic was an NBA all-star at 23

I’m not here to disparage one of my favorite ever Spiders but there really is nothing to comp Golden to Jokic besides them both being tall white guys who can pass well

Also using this logic Gilyard’s comp would be John Stockton which would be equally wild to me

Edit: sorry sman, this came off a little harsher than I intended

 

[spiderman]

not harsh at all!
and I know Golden isn't Jokic. just talking athletically.
if Gilyard was 6'1" like Stockton ... he'd have been drafted.
