[Highlight] Julian Champagnie is positively overcome with joy after hitting his 4th three in 4 minutes
Mind you Philly cut this guy for Mac McClung dunk contest PR
wait so you’re telling me both sharpshooters on team-friendly contracts for the juggernaut Spurs and Thunder got cut from the 76ers
Isaiah Joe is from the Sixers too lol
The race to the top goes to the team who can raid the 76ers scrap bin the best
SHP also known as Sold High Pilfering, what other GMs do to Morey
Trust the process
That’s The Process™ in action for ya!
The Sold high free before sold high
The 76ers also briefly signed David Jones Garcia. I have a good feeling he’s the next breakout Spurs player. It’s just unfortunate he got a season ending ankle injury
Saw DJG at an Austin Spurs game. He’s a stud
Yeah. Dude just needs to be a better defender but his offense would be terrific as a bench or 3rd unit guy.
Nah it’s Carter Bryant, but I fucking love DJG. Wish he was on the actual team vs 2 way.
Mac mcclung is the worst thing to happen to the dunk contest
That 4⁄120 contract some team is gonna give him this offseason gonna hit
we got him for 1 more year but after that yeah he might be gone
Hopefully he’s willing to take on a lesser contract and basically become Derrick White 2.0. The Spurs need him
He’s not quite as impactful as a Derrick White but Champagnie is literally just a new age Danny Green
He actually might be better lol. I feel like he’s more consistent.
Green played much better defense for sure, but Champagnie is better offensively, especially driving and finishing. Julian can dunk all over someone at any moment
This is so crazy to see considering he was memed for a long time for never being able to actually finish dunks prior to this season. How far our boy has come
Yeah and can score in other ways time to time than just shoot
the lows definitely dont feel as low
He’s more consistent offensively, but Danny was one of the best transition defenders I’ve ever seen. Julian is improving on every area every season though, including his defense.
Is he as good a defender as Green?
not quite but he’s pretty good and a great rebounder
“Not quite” undersells it a bit, Green was one of the best wing defenders in the league in his prime.
even with us he was a beast
Yeah him and Kawhi on wing defence was insane, imagine going up against that for a whole series.
Also, I wouldn’t consider him a “great rebounder”, he’s definitely a good rebounder, especially for a wing, but “great” is pushing it. Still, no hate to Julian. He’s one of the better role players in the league.
He’s a great rebounder for a wing during one 8 game stretch during the season he averaged almost 10 rebounds a game.
No
Not quite as good but he’s been improving.
Nah Danny couldn’t dribble just catch and shoot, Champagnie can drive and break players down off the dribble if he needs too though his specialty is catch and shoot but hes way better overall offensive player than Danny.
lol Derrick white has a 4yr/120M contract though
Spurs have a $3mm team option for him next season. My guess is that they decline the option to sign him to a longer term deal. It will ultimately be beneficial for both him and the team.
He is 100% getting extended this offseason.
Not just extended, but cancel out the $3mm team option to get him the raise starting next year. In that way, the Spurs likely won’t have to pay as much as a regular extension, and it still benefits Champagnie. It also works better that way from a future salary cap perspective, taking into account when guys like Castle/Harper wrap up their rookie deals.
The teams will realize he plays like this because we run plays for him and has offensive gravity taking teammates. If they pay him to just stand and catch and shoot is a disservice to his skillset.
There’s always dumb teams that will overpay him.
He’s still under contract until after next season
He has a team option next season he’ll likely sign a team friendly deal with the Spurs this off-season
No hate, but insane if anyone gives him more than 20mil/ season
We have Allen Crabbe at home
Love to see Julian this happy. He didn’t need to make up for missing that last shot in G1, but I hope he feels better about it now.
More than made up for last game
Not that I blame him or it was a bad shot or anything.
To add to that, the only reason it even became close was his dominance on the O Boards in the final minute.
He’s a dog. You need this type of dude for better or worse.
There’s nothing to make up for, sometimes the shot isn’t going to fall and he was 43% from 3 even after missing the potential game winner
Would have been awesome for the dude if he had done it, but let’s not act like it was something he did wrong
Hence my followup comment
You wouldn’t have these responses if it is was in your original comment.
I commented the second comment one second after the first. Stfu and sybau
Stfu and sybau
Lololol. I forgot this sub is full of children.
No smart response - calling people children. gtfoh.
Lolol
“No smart response - calling people children. gtfoh,” exclaimed the child quite loudly.
Chill. Also, Julian was 90% of the reason there was a game winning shot to take.
behind the scenes conversation while prepping for wolves game 2:
.
Coach Pop (puts his arms around Julian): Eyyy Danny after they double team the bigman under the basket you shoot 3s dont think about anything else.
Julian Champagnie: uhmmm Coach Pop I’m Julian CHampagnie.
Coach Pop: shut up Danny either pass for open man or shoot the damn 3 and dont you dare dribble drive to the rim.
Julian Champagnie: …………..????
Coach Pop: by the way if you hit 2 triples in a row dont pass it anymore just shoot the damnn ball ok Danny?
Julian Champagnie: ok coach again my name is Julian
I mean, he was the only player doing shit in the fourth last game
I mean taking an open 3 from your best shooter to finish the game is going to be the best look 9⁄10
That’s my happy bear
Funny thing is his brother is just as good but stuck on a trash team lmao
His happy face reminds me of something but idk what it’s pissin me off
Mike Conley?
Now that you say that…..
Reminds me of a guy named Justin something, forgot his last name
Beiber
its the gap in his teeth
uh Benny Blanco?
nah it’s some kind of meme or animation idk
The Grinch smiling before it turns super creepy
A Bernstein bear
Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile at the Super Bowl.
Windowlicker?
The Spurs are fun to watch. They’re fkn stacked.
nearly made as many 3s in 4 minutes as the wolves in 3 quarters.
He looks and play like Norman Powell. 👀
He is spurs Danny green 2.0 aka Julian “Danny Green from TEMU” Champagnie
He’s got a way bigger bag on offense than Green ever had, Green couldn’t even dribble
The guy is pissed he missed that game winner.
Is he cool w Naz Reid? seemed like some good-natured trash talking to my eye
Yup they’re laughing it up
Imagine the feeling after hearing that crowd roar. Shieeetttttttt!!!
/r/nbaww
what type of beatdown am I seeing?
damn
Again, thank you so much Philly! #TrustTheProcess
Julian “I took that missed fina shot from Game 1 personally” Champagnie 😭
He woulda cemented his sa goat status if he made that three 😞
Every time this guy shoots a 3 I feel like it’s going in
Naz Reid is defo smiling. Man I wish the Spurs could sign him
That dude reminds me of saint johns
