Rozier showed that the best he’ll be is 6MOTY

I mean, he was the starting PG for a team that just got to Game 7 of the Conference Finals only to be eliminated by a team with the best player in the league. Maybe he'll never be an all-star, but that definitely doesn't mean he's a 6MOTY at best.

Warriors to Host LiAngelo Ball for Pre-Draft Workout

https://www.sfgate.com/warriors/article/Warriors-to-host-LiAngelo-Ball-for-pre-draft-12949092.php

HOUSTON — Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been a vocal critic of LaVar Ball, but that won’t keep Golden State from evaluating Ball’s middle son.

The Warriors will host LiAngelo Ball for a pre-draft workout on June 10, a source confirmed with The Chronicle. Yahoo Sports was first to report the news.

Ball declared for the NBA draft after playing professionally in Lithuania. While on a trip to China last year with UCLA, he was involved in a shoplifting scandal and suspended indefinitely. Ball left the program without having played a game.

In nine games with Vytautas Prienu, a team in the Lithuanian Basketball League, he averaged 15.7 points. It seems unlikely that Ball will be selected in the two rounds of June’s NBA draft.

That the Warriors are bringing him in for a workout is somewhat of a surprise, given Kerr’s public criticisms of LiAngel’s father, LaVar. In January, Kerr lambasted ESPN for covering Ball, whom he called "the Kardashian of the NBA."

Most if not all 6MOTY... Can be starters on bad - average teams in the league. There’s a difference to being able to hit shots when your team is up but when every shot counts and you’re shooting like a deer in headlights ...

That’s why Eric Gordon can look like one of the best shooters in the league coming off the bench for Houston but if you need, if you depend on him scoring 15-20 pts as a starter .. all in a sudden his hands start shaking just a little on every shot

Gelo gets buckets and the Warriors are going to need to fill out their nonexistent bench this offseason

yea no chance he would've came if we beat GS. make no mistake about it. he'll come here if he wants to. problem is i think he has to re opt into his contract like june 29 or something which gives him like 2-3 weeks after the finals ends to make a decision

If CP3 played tonight they had a legitimate chance to win and then win the championship. So I’d expect them to re-sign him, Capela and try to add another free agent that’s willing to take a big discount for a year.

If they’re smart with their money they don’t guarantee more than 2 years

There’s no better pg for Houston than Paul. Idk y’all remember it took the Lakers a while before they got over the hump to get the chip, same with The Bulls, The old Rockets and the Cavs. Like this is what happens you take your lumps and come back stronger/more prepared

CP3 is still serviceable but with his age and injury history, MDA really needs to manage his minutes effectively and implement an 8 man rotation.
