Cedi Osman Goodbye & Good Luck

[greenlaker]

How is he going to get 10 assists on this team?

When Clarkson is in the game, keep the ball until 7 seconds on the shot clock and then give the ball to Clarkson. He is going to shoot it for sure. That would make 3-4 assists on average and 6-7 on some days. You can 3-7 from the rest of the team. So on some days, they would add to 10.

Great game from him. He bothered Leonard at times which was great to see even if he broke out after the half .

Just love the way he plays the game.

We have a serious 3 point shooting issue. He is going to need to shoot more 3s I guess.

Lol, this is the solution we have to everything

- Our guards do not distribute the ball well. Cedi should be play-making more

- We have a 3 point shooting issue. Cedi should shoot more 3s.

- Our defense is not good. Stop switching. Cedi should stay on their best man.

We need a picture of him in a superhero costume with a big C in front.

He really did do everything tonight. I mean it looks like he is going to be the high assist man every night. That is crazy.

I just don't know who is going to make threes. They clearly need to take more of them.

Hood blows and misses wide open ones. Terrible spot up shooter. Makes way more difficult 2's

This kid is gonna be so good. If we just had a superstar to pair with him and Love.

To think we were a year away from having a Lebron, Love, Irving, Cedi foursome. Sigh really high on this kid: is/would have been our Igoudala

 

[LennoxLewis]

Anyone else see some Hedo game offensively in him or is that just me? Loved the way he played tonight, especially defensively.

 

[kookoo]

Cedi is my favourite player in the NBA right now. I love the way he aggressively runs up the court and tries to get stuff done. He needs to get a little more control of the ball and figure out what he's doing next at times, but it could be between him and Willy Cauley Stein for most improved player this season... I think WCS is going to have a really good year.

 

[cavsfever]

Dude played better than Luka Doncic did tonight

 

[Cavatt]

Legit game against a good team.

Stud.

Still though, if we are ever going to be an Finals contending team again, he needs to be the third best player at best. That’s not a knock on Cedi either.

Just really need Sexton to reach his highest potential and are going to have to absolutely nail one more lottery pick or strike gold with an elite acquisition via Trade or FA

Excited to watching Cedi take off and grow though this entire season. He’ll be the 1st or 2nd leading minutes getter the whole season and should grow exponentially from that experience.

He’s still very young, if he keeps improving and growing over the years he could become really freakin good, he has the athleticism and the talent to be a special kind of player in my opinion

Still can’t believe Ty Lue didn’t play this kid last year over some of the bums he was giving minutes to

Highlights looking good. Can not follow all the games from Europe, I hate it.

Was he a little out of gas in some stretches? It`s gonna be a looong season, I hope he adapts himself to the pace of the game. Injuries or something like that would be horrific.

He is the real deal folks. Told you from the get go.

Every time he touches the ball something good happens. Whenever he initiates the PnR, he gets a good opporunity for himself or his teammate. His passes are great and accurate and he moves the ball. Hi jumper from 3 and mid range looks money and will continue to improve. He does need to improve his finishing at the rim...for sure.

He barely got any touches tonight, especially in the first half and that got me pissed. We don't have any off-ball movement and we ran way too much PnR actions for bad PnR players tonight(like Hood), so Cedi was a lot of times floating behind the 3pt line on the weakside. Really craving for some off-ball actions and some aggressive cuts for Cedi. He should excel at that.

His defense is really special though. Our team defense is shit, but he can be a 1-5 lockdown defender that boosts team DRG all by himself because of his versatility and 1 on 1 defense. He was all over the floor tonight defensively and was very efficient as a switch defender. Other guys just couldn't switch effectively (on the perimeter and in the post).

This was a very winnable game. If we had a decent coach and a good gameplan I believe we could have won. Really optimistic about this kid though as far as his ceiling goes...it's high as fuck.

This horse has been beaten into hamburger, but it is so damn frustrating that he wasn't our third guy last year. It's just indefensible that Lue benched him in the playoffs.

Altman's international scouting chops are certainly starting to look pretty impressive. We'll see how Collin ends up panning out---I love the kid personally. But Cedi was a bonafide home run as a 2nd rounder. His contract is really nice too. And we will have full bird rights when it is up, I believe and I think we still will be able to make him restricted though I'm not 100% on that---have lost a bit of my CBA knowledge as my age has gone up.
