If everything can be done again, Shin Kyung and Wagner will give it to the Warriors, can the Warriors really use it well

Why can a poster for the European Championships make the Warriors media break the defense? Before the European Championships finals started, because Germany and Turkey had NBA players, the NBA official also released a promotional poster. The protagonists of the poster were Shin Kyung and Wagner Jr. After seeing this poster, the Warriors media people sighed: "The Warriors had the opportunity to choose two people in a package, but they missed it in the end."

Shin Kyung and Wagner are both rookies in 2021, one with the 8th pick and the other with the 16th pick. That year, the Warriors chose Kumingga in the 7th pick and Moody in the 14th pick. Theoretically, the Warriors do have a chance to win the two. Now that Shin Kyung and Wagner have both grown into world-class stars, it is understandable that the Warriors media people are unbalanced. But put aside the regret of losing, if time can go back, can the Warriors choose Shin Kyung and Wagner at the same time and they can train them?

The Warriors are still in the window of championship competition in 2021, and the Iron Triangle lineup of Splash Brothers + Green is still stable. Curry, 32, was still able to maintain a high level in the 20-21 season, playing 63 games, averaging 32.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 34.2 minutes. He averaged 21.7 shots per game and was also the highest in his career. His 48.2% shooting percentage was even better than during the Universe period. The only regret is that I didn't make it to the playoffs.

Because Curry is in full swing, the Warriors chose Kumingga and Moody in the 2021 draft. In addition to being a mobile forward, they also have the possibility of becoming an instant combat power in a short time. Although the upper limit of the two of them was not high, from the perspective of the Warriors at that time, what they needed was the forward tool player to share the defense for Curry, so these two were obviously more suitable than Shin Kyung and Wagner.

Shen Jing and Wagner have similar styles, and are both core players who can become the cornerstone of the team building. The former template is a support center like Jokic, and the characteristics of its own system are very suitable for rebuilding the team. Although the latter is 208 cm tall, his style of playing is like a 2-meter forward, his ball-holding offensive ability is comparable to Durant, and he can also be a cornerstone. Although the upper limit of these two people is very high, the growth period is also very long. The Warriors were in the window period for the championship at that time, so it was not surprising that they were unwilling to train them.

If the Warriors management really chooses Shin Kyung and Wagner, it can only be described as wasting natural resources. Because in the Warriors lineup in 2021, the No. 5 position needs defense and solid cover, and the No. 3 position has Wiggins, a versatile striker who does not grab the ball, Shin Kyung and Wagner must develop in their direction if they want to play with the Warriors.

Shen Kyung must be reincarnated, give up support and focus on pick-and-roll and lower rounds. But his size and athletic ability do not support him. Forced changes to the playing style can only backfire. Wagner must give up holding the ball and become a big pitcher, and will even be arranged to play pick-and-roll with Curry at the top of the fifth position. He will become a post with better talent. It will be of no practical use except becoming a high-level turret, but these two roles are not as good as the second round pick. The worst result is that the local situation is not adapting to the local conditions and being traded by the Warriors management.

So even if you give the Warriors Shin Kyung and Wagner at that time, it is likely that it will be a result that everyone is lost. It is not that these two are not talented enough, nor that the Warriors cannot train rookies. The Warriors really have to play around Curry, so if the two and Curry don’t match each other, it is not a bad thing for the Warriors to not choose Shin Kyung and Wagner back then.
