Random Warriors fan: “Nico Mannion is the best b/u PG prospect in the Warriors’ syst…”
Perks: Wrong!
Thanks for this breakdown. He wasn’t on my radar at all until you mentioned him the other day. How would you rank him against Mannion as far as ceiling and NBA-ready? Seems like Mannion might be a little stronger and a better defender?
Honestly havent really noticed McLaughlin much in the games. It feels like he's really picking his spots and letting things come to him. Offensively, he kind of reminds me of Brogdon: nothing that blows me away but solid overall and finds a way to get where he wants and makes the right plays. He's a bit smaller, but if he can start to look like Brogdon on defense...
With GP2 sliding down my wishlist, I still want another big on the roster. We need that insurance. Looney and Wiseman are not iron men. What's the deal with Oliver? Don't know anything about him.
Watching him against Orlando last night, his biggest weakness offensively is his shooting mechanics. He flicks the ball with almost no follow-through. Shades of Shawn Marion.
Good story, but it’s a hard pass from me. How do so many players reach this age and playing level and not learn proper shooting form?
Does that mean we are still in the running? Money aside, he will be back-up PG with us. Not sure about his role with Celtics.
----------------------
The Celtics' more desirable route is to avoid the hard cap by offering Schroder the $5.9 million taxpayer midlevel exception, which according to ESPN's Jordan Schultz is what they've done.
Either deal would represent a significant pay cut from the four-year, $84 million extension Schroder turned down from the Los Angeles Lakers last season. But Robb reports that Schroder's free-agent options have "dried up" in the past week, and that there currently aren't any playoff-caliber teams that can offer Schroder more than the full midlevel exception or are willing to send assets to the Lakers as part of a sign-and-trade.
I'll be honest, I was not paying attention to this guy. He was definitely on the court in good minutes in the CA Classic games I watched, but he looked pretty outclassed by the people who were controlling the game, namely Mitchell, Kuminga, Yurtseven, and Payton II.
Sounds like he has a good attitude and a good amount of potential, but didn't quite win the body lottery to be a lock for the NBA. And comparing a 4-year player to the rest of his draft class (a bunch of dudes with a lot less high-level basketball experience and less time to fill out their physique) is kind of skewed. Still, those assists are slick. I'll keep an eye on him from here.
With Chiozza already on a 2 way, what options do we have to keep this guy? We're not gonna give the 15th roster spot I'm pretty sure, and Mannion might be on the other 2 way (though I don't see how Mannion and Chiozza make sense rather than a guy like Mulder or Ryan Taylor).

JROC is the real deal and I think a better fit at #2 PG than Poole. JROC dishes and plays under control and runs the offense.

Did we just replace our Italian PG with another Italian PG

Great write up Perks!

I think they should give him a training camp invite, he has looked good to me running the offense

Posted in other thread, but will re-post here.
I guess the Chiozza makes more sense if Mannion was planning on playing overseas rather than take the two-way QO from the Warriors.
@GSWReddit says the Warriors will still have Mannion's RFA rights while he plays overseas as long as they submit a QO every year.
