Yax's has been on fire in his last 3, Yax has arrived, this is only the start of yax especially after his performance in last night’s win.

The facts that he's 24 and played 6 years of college (fresh off of an NCAA championship) are the exact reasons he's capable of playing like a first option on an NBA team containing Steph Curry straight away. We have basically acquired a top 50 level player on a rookie contract for the next 4 years. This is absolutely the best case scenario for any team under the current CBA. Am I taking crazy pills?

As hands down amazing as Yaxel was all game, and Steph was in the second half, Podz was the tonesetter and played like I've never seen him play before.

He took his shots without thinking. He defended with aggression, and he never double-guessed his options, just went for it. He even took a heat check in the first quarter.

He ended up with a +33 and had a damn near perfect game.

Enjoy the love Steph and Yax, but Podz set it all up time and time again. I feel so confident when he's on the floor now. This is his year.

Four games in averaging 21.8 pts, 9.2 rebs, 4.8 assists and 45 FG%. Combined with a joyful swagger and confidence, this is how future stars enter the league. We finally drafted another one.

Not sure if its just me or not, last night was the first time someone outshined Curry on our team. For the first time in years, Curry looked quiet even with a perfect night. Yaxel outshined him completely. Not knocking on our chef, but this is very exciting for the franchise. Anyone else?

the fact that yax asked for advice from some of the legends is pretty cool, love it.

During the NBA Showtime postgame interview, McGrady spoke some Spanish to Yaxel (like Shaq trying to speak Serbian to Jokic). It got me curious and from what I searched, Yaxel, Gui, Horford, And Porzingis all speak Spanish fluently.

enough said.

Glad he's back from injury and has been scoring 18 points per game so far.

I know it was just one game but you can see his impact. He really takes a major load off everyone, is young, and is that go to guy this team has been missing for so long. They might still just be a borderline playoff team but they might be more enjoyful to watch and the future looks bright which is something we haven't felt in a while.
