Clearly winning is not a priority and I’m ok with that this year and am totally on board with point Jeremy. Ya it’s ugly basketball but I understand getting Jeremy experience during a non competitive year so that he can be our Boris diaw/draymond green type point forward. So if pop knows he’s never going to actually be a point guard, why not push the experiment even further with a guy who could actually be a point guard: Sidy Sissoko! He isn’t going to be a physical liability on defense and he’ll be way better at actually setting up teammates to further everyone’s development, not just Jeremy’s. Pop has already said he sees loads of potential with sidy, and I totally agree, I need some sidy/wemby French connection pick and roll ASAP!
Sissy is a natural
Put him in ffs
I love Sidy, and he has everything to be a great PG (incredible passing skills and vision, great perimeter defense) but…
Being a good scorer.
If he gets consistent at scoring (he seems to be hard to stop when driving to the basket), he gets a consistent jumper, then hell yes, I’d love to see a PG like Sidy.
He’d be a bit like a Magic Archetype physically.
I could see him being a Ben Simmons type PG, even if he never gets a jumper. Not good enough to start in today’s NBA, but would be a super valuable role player off the bench or in certain specialized lineups.
