Is widowmaker as hustly as Larks though? Imo that is Larkins best asset. I love the nippy D and harass he gives the opposition players. Kinda like a Delly

Was one of the worst players in the league last year
Way too inconsistent + black hole
Literally never makes an extra pass

Much rather have Semis clamp defense on the court than a minute of Morris


Definitely not the worse player in the league. He was above average for sure. Just a bit of a trigger finger sometimes when hes radar is off

Hes not lol

He can be at times when hes throwing up trash (ecf) but generally hes pretty effective most of the time. IMO hes obviously got a green light from Steven's to create and shoot when hes on the floor.

I don't know too much about him
Only went back and watched some parts of games where he performed (was finals MVP of the Turkish league)

He probably can't guard full court in the NBA like Larkin did, but Larkin had too much trouble with size. Wanamaker can guard the 1 or the 2. No problem switching..

He can do shit like this too

Idk, the inconsistency and lack of awareness drove me crazy
I can't stand players that won't make a pass --- ever
Maybe i'm just hating because I expected more

This was my assessment of his play as well but at the same time i consider family guy knowledgable.

Semi is not better offensively than Morris though. He doesn't have Morris' attitude either.

He has flaws for sure

But not even close to worst player in the league. That's just anti homer goggles lol. I use to get the same when watching crowder be junk for us in his last season.

Semi is showing improvement to his overall offense in summer league
Ball handling being the main skill and some shot making ability
Took some contested 3s, 1 legged dirk shot, 2-3 fadeaways

He's not close to Morris offensively, but he also isn't going to chuck it up like Morris -- while playing much better defense
He played all last year(due to injuries of course) but he is a big part of the bench moving forward
Having him at 1 million for the next 3 years will be huge for us

Ok maybe not the worst, but he had to be close with his inconsistency and lack of playmaking with usage
He had the highest usage rate other than Kyrie...didn't do enough
Played less minutes than our other options as well..

Was offered more than 33/3 (Exum) in October -- but turned it down
He's willing to sign below 15 million yearly
Stevens and Ainge both let him know they really want him back

Pretty sure since he's willing to sign below 15, he's staying
