Quinn on the sports animal...

Golden's biggest stuggles were with fatigue last year. When he was fresh he was very good, but if he wore down there was no backup plan. I am not a big fan of turning a wing player into a backup PG, just so they can turn last years PG back into a wing player.

I'm just reiterating what Quinn said, thats all.

I think trae should play 32 minutes and everyone if them at the PG position. If we're smarter with substitutions and the timing of his breaks before media timeouts he should be fine to play 32 a game. Finding someone who can atleast hold down the backup PG is key as well. Many times we'd try to give trae a blow just to see McRae, josh or skylar screw up at PG and force CCM to being trae back in.

McRae seemed to be doing a decent job last year for a couple games, but when the wheels came off for him they came off completely. Here's to hoping he just hit a wall and this season he is able to contribute all the way into March.

Absolutely.

While itd be great for him to breakout, I don't think it's necessary for us to be a really good team. IMO its just more about consistency with him, and playing ball on both ends.

If he can give us 10 a game, rebound and defend and play smart low turnover ball that'll be all we need. He doesn't have to do too much, just play the game smart and with effort on both ends.

I agree with your assessment in theory, but I think it's be a star or bust for Jordan. I think he has the mentality of a big time scorer and, while he may be able to adjust for a few games, over the course of a season, you won't keep him engaged if he's not scoring in bunches. Hope he really breaks out, for everyone's sake.

I guess well find out. He doesn't have to breakout to get noticed, play smart ball, score when needed, and play hard on both ends while being a good teammate and hell be fine.

Not comparing, but look at MKG, change your mentality to a team guy like he was and hell get noticed, doesn't have to score 20 ppg to end up in the league.

Hell benefit more IMO from being a team guy, buying in, showing what he can do and helping lead the team to success, than scoring 20ppg but limiting the others and in turn harnessing the teams overall capabilities.

That may not have come out right, but I know what I'm trying to say in my head haha.

I'm still waiting for an answer.

EDIT: NM, I googled it. Dude's name is Brendan Quinn, works for KNS, for those who are interested. @BFQuinn on twitter.

Did you not read the OP, that's what they're asking, because the answer to your question was in the OP.

Your question had an answer before you even asked. You just didn't read.

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Had no idea who the guy was and never listen to the sports animal anymore. I use to listen to it every morning but the reception sucks where i live.

I read your post. I didn't know if Quinn was a first or last name or who he worked for. I assumed it was KNS, but I asked for clarification.

If I had the answer I wanted, I wouldn't have asked, Christopher.
