    Honest question (leaving who you sign at LW out of it because we don’t know who that is), do you guys think Sesko is “the guy” to put you over the top? I remain unconvinced. He has a lot of raw tools but seems like a huge swing for Arteta to make on a pretty unproven guy. 

    i’ve watched so many videos on this guy, read so many articles, read every reddit thread, etc- half the people think he’s nowhere near the level of striker we need to win trophies this year, and the other half swear that he’s going to come in and unlock everything from day 1. it’s so hard to form a concrete opinion on such a polarizing player.

    i will say this:

    1)his size, athleticism, and physical profile are exactly what we need. he is the prototype, that’s for sure.

    2)his bundesliga experience >>>>> gyorkores’s experience in portugal.

    3)reading between the lines, whoever we sign in the attack will have been someone that arteta and the board have been keyed in on for years, and they already know who it is, and it’s just a matter of timing + paperwork before it’s official. ipso facto, they are *sold* on this player.

    my own opinion, which again, i’m not even super strong on based on just how polarizing this guy is, is that he appears to be the best realistic and available option on the market whether i like it or not, so if it is him, then i’m going to be very excited due to arteta’s track record with signings, especially guys who are “his” guys who he’s really pushed for, which sesko reportedly is. 

    we’ve got no problems creating chances, and in fact we don’t even have problems scoring goals; we have problems getting too many goddamn draws because we all too often couldn’t get a goal when we really really needed one. is he that kind of player? one who can step in and finish all of those chances and turn those draws into wins? that will be the question. again, he is the prototype- tall, super quick, nba athleticism, and can score the type of goals that auba, alexis, and rvp could score to win you a game. but can he do it right away, this season, in the EPL? i guess we’ll find out, assuming he is the guy.

  2. i’ll give credit to malika andrews. just now, as they were going to commercial and showing a montage of players being drafted, she said, “this is the swag and style we’ve seen over the past two days where, according to me, 59 young men and one sports pundit have been drafted into the nba.” that’s how you own it. 

  3. wizards just signed marcus smart, cj mccollum, and khris middleton. and as i learned tonight, their gm is from the same presti tree. normally i’d megaloathe washington as his landing spot, but it seems as if they’ve gone out of their way to make sure that Tre has lots of veryeran leadership, and they apparently have a competent front office now. sounds like it could be worse.

    tre has to be going here. wizards just acquired three veteran guards to help guide him. he’s gotta be going to washington. 

    as much i would normally hate this landing spot for him, this development actually does make me feel pretty good about him going there.
