Ving Sight Backson Rowe Powers Warriors Ving Vs. Lakers – NBC Sports Bay Area and California
San Francisco – Warriors fans will have to wait to look at the two choices of the team from the draft NBA last month in action for the first time.
Alex Toohey and Will Richard did not play in the California Classic Summer League match on Saturday at the Chase Center against the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, they could not.
The Warriors entered the second round of the draft with a choice at number 41 in total. Even before the round began, they exchanged the choice with the Phoenix Suns with the overall choices n. 52 and n. 59. Toohey was taken at n. 52, but the warriors did not make the wheels and business. They then moved from n. 59 to n. 56 In an exchange with Memphis Grizzlies to select Richard.
Neither exchanges was made official, which is why Toohey and Richard could not adapt on Saturday, the NBC Sports Bay Area was informed. Sunday at 9:00 PT scores the first day of the new year of the championship. The hope is that Toohey and Richard can play on Sunday, if the trade is made official in front of the 3:30 pm PT of Warriors against the San Antonio Spurs.
In their absence, the Warriors started slow and sloppy, but they came out roaring in the second half under Lainn Wilson in his debut to the coach’s head to beat the Lakers, 89-84.
“Our level of intensity as a team really raised after the interval,” said Wilson. “Their pressure, I think, threw us away a little in that first period. We struggled to do some open shots, but they did an excellent job in accelerating us. They were a really physical team, so our boys after the interval really took a notch with their intensity and also the type of excess and opened the game.”
The Warriors followed the 19-11 after the first quarter while the Lakers took them throughout the court. The changes have been made slowly but certainly. Overcoming the same doors, the Warriors exceeded the Lakers 28-24 in the second quarter to go half-time 43-39.
Halfway, the Lakers were whistled for 14 fouls while the warriors went nine. The way the Lakers were persecuting the Warriors defensively, however, led to eight turnover – five in the first quarter and three in the second.
Wilson’s half -time message was not to go back and use the spacing to their advantage. Message received.
“I think we were getting used to the 10 Foul rule,” said Jackson Rowe. “Everyone didn’t want to get angry, and then we realized that we had 10 to give it.”
The rules of the summer league are different from the standard NBA rules, including how many fouls can have a player and stay in the game. Instead of dirty with six fouls, players can hack until 10 fouls are called, resulting in a different product for the most of the time.
After adapting to the style of play, the Warriors needed only a minute in the third quarter to regain the first advantage because it was 2-0 in their favor. The Warriors passed the Lakers 30-17 in the third quarter and held the fourth to go out with a victory. Rowe was one of the main reasons why.
As a more experienced player in the Warriors’ Summer League roster, Rowe is taking on a leadership role and has put the team on the back along the stretch. He led the Warriors in points (13), rebounds (eight) and blocked blows (two), also adding two assists and two thefts as a maximum of game more at 13. Rowe scored nine points in the second half, of which you are in the fourth quarter.
He showed that he was a top -season top scorer last season for the Santa Cruz Warriors, scoring at least 30 points twice and exceeding 20 points seven times. It was the other part of the ball of which he was very proud of Saturday.
“My favorite shows were the defensive comedies,” said Rowe. “Get some blocks and try to change the momentum of the game.”
The Warriors signed Rowe, 28 years old, for a two -way contract on January 28th. It remains two -way suitable this season, and it is well aware that its business card will not try to take offensively. Rowe claims to have already gained 15 kilos of muscles in this offseason with the emphasis on facing his body of assignment more defensively as someone who can do all the dirty work for Golden State.
Like Juan Toscano-Cinta years ago, Rowe’s journey with Warriors began to try. Rowe has even admitted not to expect to be in the position it is today. The Warriors saw his talent and as his game has grown, his mentality is also.
“If you want to be a NBA, you will often not be the boy who makes 30 shots to a game,” explained Rowe. “You will be the boy who will receive rebounds, playing defense and helping those main guys to score. If you only look at what I’m doing, I think it’s a good example of how you can play in the NBA or at least get as close as possible.”
After earning his two -way contract last season, Rowe played six games for the Warriors, seeing the floor for a total of 52 minutes. He scored 22 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and four stolen in that time. Although it was not in the active roster for the playoffs, he remained with the team and continued to absorb every gram of knowledge.
Now, the teammates of the Summer League for Boxing Out is encouraging, running on the floor and making the extra move. Obviously he would like to drop 30 as if he were in Santa Cruz. He would like to start the season with at least one of the three two -way contracts of the Warriors even more.
“You won’t replace Stephen Curry,” said Rowe. “It’s like a great surprise, you will never fill that boy’s shoes. You have to think, how can you have an impact on the game in other ways? They taught me to do it.”
Playing and driving how Rowe has made his summer championship open will earn the right to have a lot of space for his shoes inside the Warriors’ changing rooms next season.
