The Ascension Of Trayce Jackson-Davis



The Ascension Of Trayce Jackson-Davis

I thought CP3 was really good yesterday really good um and then Andrew Wiggins in the first half he actually looked like he was ready to play was go you know going to the rim with authority I like how everybody had the quick finger roll kind of like floater before Victor

Come flying in but I got to start with Victor are you a 2K player did you ever play 2K growing up or no I had never played video games before no I I’m I’m being real like no I never played I I play it like Duck Hunt and

Yeah I never played 2K never played I always I always figure there’s like there’s three different kinds of players right there’s the I’m creating myself with my specs as in my body type height weight name everything then there’s the I’m making a random player and then there’s the I’m making the most dominant

Force I possibly can in a video game and I used to create the guy who’s 7 foot5 who can move a little shoot a little do all that Victor Wi on looks like my 2k created player when I was 13 years old he’s 74 he could do things as a guard no

I never played 2K shasy uh 74 he’s hung up on it I mean yes he he is he’s going to be something to watch man I mean if he can get a little stronger he’s putting up double doubles as a rookie I don’t even think the guy is understand

Like he’s starting to understand the NBA game he’s starting to float around there’s some things he could do better obviously he’s a rookie is he where T is he where Tim ducky was as a rookie I don’t think so Tim duck was a grown man by that point David Robinson was a grown

Man at that point this guy’s just scratching the surface and so when you see him out there just it’s just I wish we would have been able to watch him at Chas iner um yeah cuz I just I mean it’s like a freaking nature dude he’s just

Running around out there it’s like this gazelle like think about it he’s 74 he made Draymond look like Mugsy bogs well I’m looking at at Jonathan kaminga standing next to him and and Jonathan kaminga looks so small so minuscule his timing on the blocks he’s really good

With the timing I think I underrated his athleticism I thought he’d be more lumbering in the NBA no I was wrong uh and then obviously he’s got to work on a shot even some more like that’s something that’s going to come with time I just I’m blown away he he even picked

Off a pass um you know that was uh you know I don’t know if it was Chris Paul or Moody at the top of the key kind of threw it to Draymond and it was just I don’t know man I I can’t get enough of them surprised I said this last week I’m

Going to keep saying I’m surprised there’s not more fervor about him in general what does he do differently that is going to have us gravitate towards him I think the way he looks the way he looks is what it is cuz C kind of looks similar yeah ch’s 71 he’s 7 feet go

About it ch’s a little more mobile yeah you know a little more mobile and explosive I don’t know Victor is yeah you’re right you know you’re probably right I I don’t I don’t know I mean listen I think the hype will get as as they get better and better down to San

Antonio they’ve got to win some games because they’ll get back on national television and we’ll start to watch him and you start to build a rivalry between him and Chad you know have some rivalries against Anthony Edward whatever it is he will get better better

I think the hype tree will go along as we get to know Victor more and more and more he’s kind of been you know ever since he got to the league we haven’t seen much of them in terms of off the court stuff yeah that’s true maybe it’s

Just because he’s in San Antonio but I’m not one to say hey we need get him out of San Antonio he could be a star of San Antonio he could be there for 20 years and be a star like Tim ducky was a star there David Robinson was a star there m

Joby Tony Parker were stars of San Antonio I don’t like when you know we get some national media members saying oh well he needs to get they did this to Devon Booker a few years ago we need to get him out of Phoenix to get him to New

York Phoenix has been one of the I I want to say one of the 10 best franchises in the NBA for in my lifetime they’ve always been competitive for the most part they’ve always tried to make moves they just haven’t won it when you think about it like the sons have always

Made I mean they had a stretch when they really bad for a while but for the most part of my lifetime the Suns have always represented up and down basketball fun style of play their fed base always gravitation sword so you could be a star

Any anywhere in the NBA I I’m beer to see what happens with wh though Yiannis is in Milwaukee he’s a star he’s a star people love massive star from Greece you know I don’t know I just I’m watching Victor and I I’m fascinated I’m very

Fascinated by him it was a big big win for the Warriors though I I really like the way they’re playing Klay Thompson I think has been just so good uh as of late but CP3 yesterday was was excellent they were they were down early and he started doing what I call Vintage CP3

Shenanigans and in baiting foul calls and I thought that it kind of slowed the game down and got things back in their favor he made some beautiful passes to create fouls uh in the in the second half I thought he was excellent in this

Game game this was a CP3 type of a game for me well San anonio came out like gag Busters right the first quarter they came out on fire they were six to 12 from the three-point line in that first quarter 15 to 24 overall but CP3 to your

Point scored eight straight points with four four in that first quarter to stabilize the game and keep the Warriors within Striking Distance and you just seen it all around floor game 19 points n rebounds eight assists getting the ball in the right spot but then I I I

Can’t get over this place sh I really can’t get over it Trace Jackson Davis oh he put the entire country of FR in the basket take that a foot wig spin with you that is his welcome to the league moment wait you think Fitz had that one

In the back pocket or that was authentically like impromptu don’t say that again well what about him tell Chris Paul did you see the Chris Paul interview where he told Miss they’re interviewing Chris Paul cuz we went straight to break and so he goes you know no Stephen Curry here blah blah

Blah blah blah but like a good neighbor CP3 is here he threw some sweet lobs one of them you know you like that foni well you guys are the State Farm postgame show right no we’re toy that’s TNT remember remember Boi posy Bon all sponsored by Toyota and pie I’m not

Sponsored by Toyota I wish I had a Toyota I need a pickup truck look you know enough of whby I mean look we look like a freak 10 to 25 I thought the Warriors I thought the Warriors actually did a decent job on Victor proud of me

You know 27 hping up the Spurs no yeah 27 points 14 rebounds it’s just so weird he went 10 to 25 he’s had took 25 shots to score 27 I thought they had kigga on them Draymond clay at TI Wicks TJ D they threw him different looks and different

Bodies and it really flustered him well tjd obviously the dunk is the thing that everyone’s going to go wild over TJ D’s timing on the second and third jumps to go for rebounds he very underrated and he almost threw multiple dunks down on Victor there was a lot from CP3 in the

Lane that he just missed yamming down little too high little too high he had like Fort Ducks yesterday TJ D amazing like Fort ducks are we seeing him Ascend into a top seven spot on the roster uh top eight top nine now Steve curle played n guys Steve Curley played nine

Guys last night right he he didn’t play Looney didn’t play kenyonis didn’t play shars didn’t play Jal Robinson played gp2 for only 14 minutes and 46 seconds played Moses Moody for about 12 minutes Moody was down to 12 minutes BL so hard by Victor yeah he did he did oh my God

And then you got Trace Jackson Davis and uh Brandon psky Trace Jackson Davis played 2628 wow psky played nearly 35 minutes so actually pajji led the way minutes play the most minutes on a roster he had his best game in a while and you know Fitz referenced early in

The game ah you know the last five or six games haven’t been so great cuz he thinks he has he’s had a knee injury right which uh scory guard yeah and so I I hadn’t really considered how much that would impact the young man but he looked

A lot more for as hit a couple of Threes early and then you could see it started to open up the floor game for him Y no this you know he played a solid game Chris Paul led the way I thought kiga get here’s the thing with kiga yeah give

It to me I think we should just be accustomed to him scoring 20 now he’s now become a consistent pardon me uh a consistent NBA player 22 points five rebounds n of 18 from the floor two and three from the three-point line I mean watching him Ascend to that level that third-year

Leap that we all discussed before the season I think that I don’t know how the season ends but knowing that kiga can be consistent NBA player I think is huge yeah and I think he should be in the mix for most improved player I don’t know if

He should win it cuz it feels like Tyrese Maxi is going to get it because he goes from 20 to almost 27 points per game and carrying he was already good we knew back what I’m saying we knew back he was good when you car I was arguing

With Jason Dumas on this when you score 20 points a game to me you’re you’ve arrived if you average 20 in the league you’ve arrived already so to go from 20 to 27 extremely impressive but you’ve already like established that you’re in a score Kingo went from playing 15

Minutes a game last year if you look at his like I think it’s 14 something no I’m with you right and he’s going to double minutes per game he’s going to double his point total he is going to be one of the leading scorers on a team that desperately needs scoring I think

He’s one of the best defenders on the team already so I I don’t know man I I think kinga’s leap forward is more unexpected than Maxi’s leap from 20 to no I’m with you there well Shang goon could be in a conversation Houston he’s been really good Jay gre’s been a lot

Better Kobe White’s up there too boy Kobe white Kobe white is up there that’s you know that is your boy Kobe white Kobe White’s legit he is legit but the Bulls got blown out last night by the Mavs JK is just so consistent now and so Wednesday cuz let’s be real these are

The Spurs they’re 14 to 51 wait a minute they’re 14 to 51 the man who’s been selling me snake oil all year on these Bottom Feeders in the NBA no I tell you to watch this so you can know that’s true so when you come at me say I’m like

Hey they got this guy they got spur not like it’s the Blazers or power no no no no no but but no here here’s where I’m I do like soan though no I do they got some Talent Shan P’s not bad what’s the guy whose name I keep mispronouncing

Deon Vel I like him he’s not bad he averages 19 and a half points per game on a season uh shoots 38% from the three-point line K Johnson from Kentucky he a nice player uh look San Antonio they didn’t shoot the three ball they shot the three ball how they shoot

It all year they’re 14 to 51 but I’m excited for Wednesday and see it with JK hey what Andrew Wiggins Andrew wiggin had a solid night what are you gonna do against Luca Wednesday how are you gonna play against Luca you know Luca’s averaging 35 10 and half assist nearly 10 rebounds

Since January 1st are you serious I didn’t know that no I did not know that he’s shooting 50% from the flo 37 and a half from three seven straight triple doubles yeah seven seven straight Russell Westbrook eat your heart out seven straight I mean this is going to

Be fun on Wednesday to watch JK and you know probably Andrew Wiggins as well try to slow down Luca dois this is the next step for JK as he moves into his career and moves forward and forward and forward into the future he’s going to be ask to guard these guys the top

Guys that’s the Evolution for JK that’s the next step for him cuz now he’s crashing the glass he’s dropping 20 he’s hitting the rib he’s going to the rib with Reckless abandon I love it uh 9 of 18 from the floor 50% hit a couple threes yesterday I love where JK is at

Now to be that star that he wants to be that Superstar because that’s what he wants he wants to be a star and I’m not mad at that go out there slow down Luca does now in a big time game I I want you to be 100% NVC authentic with me actually

No just be Bonte authentic I’m always authentic Jonathan kaminga rise you’re enjoying it oh I love every second of it I love every second you’ve been a strong Defender you have too no I know I know but you have been a strong Defender almost like the battle of the

Bastards you were like Jon Snow sitting there just getting overcome with people saying that John the kaminga literally cannot play on the on the court and now a year later I can’t imagine a warrior future without him just sque in December he was getting dmps it’s it’s kind of

Insane I mean d getting beat by the laugh at the Blazers if he will to but they were down 10 to the Blazers they always come back to the Blazers they were down 10 to the Blazers PHS fighting for his life in a December game I think

The date L me was December 16th when they were playing the Blazers CER and the BLS are up like N9 or 10 in the third quarter and Chase C was dead and we’re trying to figure out what the heck is going on and JK hadn’t played and

Then they dusted him off and he plays the final 16 minutes of that basketball game they went going away and JK is not looked back loving not back well so no you say sa the season you want to junk about that I mean seriously if John the

Kaminga does not Ascend to what he’s to what he’s at now what are they seven games worse I have no idea where this team is at he may not even be here that’s he I mean hell he may be on another team I’m I’m shocked at the inseon kind of switch being flipped

Going from literally dmps to second most reliable score on most nights that’s what I’m said it it is remarkable it was December 17th the 16th uh the where was it the 16th uh no no no no no no no no no December 6th oh December 6th is when

He ascended and came off the bench D day and uh uh yeah is that dday maybe but he was six to sixc points you’re thinking of Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor there we go I knew December 6th had a had a World War II throwback three dates we just

Missed here yeah totally ruined that somewhere my social studies teacher is walking around going this idiot we’re a sports show not a history show supp well technically Bon is a historian well social studies are so overrated it was all overrated well some people call don’t they call like civil whatever

There’s all these different names it’s been proven that what these history teachers didn’t teach us all the history well certain pages were Blended together certain history was not revealed I don’t know if you know this history is written by The Victors I come on if you don’t

Learn your history you’re doing to rep Oh see now that is what I’m talking about

Trayce Jackson-Davis took off last night on Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, and his ascension into the Warriors lineup has been one of the most fun things to watch this year.

  1. Next season they should get a big who can shoot and defend a bit next to TJD. I like Christian wood. A mobile 6'10" guy who can shoot and block shot a bit.

  2. Honestly we have athletic big in TJD but none shooting,we have a shooting big but none athletic,so Warriors need one person who have both.stretch big with athleticism and a shooter,it doesnt be high percentage shooting big and it doesnt have to be a 7foot guy.

  3. Kuminga also gets foul a lot and no calls, otherwise he could average an extra 3-5 points at least

  4. “History is written by the victor’s” lol shasky’s cold for that one but he’s right. Our victors were of a certain color and like Bonta hinted at they tend to leave certain things in our history out the books lol.
