a lot of stuff we already knew but confirms the stuff regarding his draft night fall, and his agents turning teams away looking for a guaranteed contract

I happen to be in the Bay Area visiting my wife’s family, and heard TJD speaking on a pregame show last night.  When asked about his early success, he immediately gave credit to Woodson.  TJD said the concepts Woodson taught as well as running the offense through him and letting him make decisions are why he’s having the success in the NBA he is now.  It was a ringing endorsement.  Hopefully that message gets to Queen.

Story on TJD from last night. 

This is a rather impressive sentence from the article you linked:

TJD joins Rookie of the Year candidates Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder) and Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) as the only rookies with back-to-back double-doubles this season.

TJD averaging 14 and 8 over the last four games. Prime example of why I don’t try to predict someone success at the next level based off the college game.

Curry to TJD --

And siap -- Curry giving TJD a lot of praise

As the NBA season has gone on, former Indiana basketball star Trayce Jackson-Davis has impressed more and more people.

That list includes his Golden State Warriors teammate, two-time MVP Stephen Curry. After Jackson-Davis scored 10 points and grabbed 15 rebounds against the Washington Wizards on Friday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic asked Curry about Jackson-Davis, who was picked 57th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft.

"I knew about him," Curry said. "I watched college basketball and a couple of Indiana games."

Sometimes luck/fate is also involved. I highly doubt TJD would be getting this great chance to show his stuff if Green had not gone off the rails (there just would not have been enough available minutes). I’ll bet Golden State would love to trade Green but he is guaranteed 100,000,000 for the balance of this season and the next three at which point he will be nearly 38.  
Guessing the GM would like a “do-over” with that contract.

Game #32 of his NBA career and he is now a starter. Replaced a healthy Looney in the starting lineup tonight.

While not exactly the same role, TJD stepping up in Draymond Green's absence is not the kind of thing that goes unnoticed in the league. Was smart to bet on himself looking for a guaranteed deal and good situation to step into. If he keeps playing well, he's setting himself up for a bigggg pay day down the road. Draymond's versatility/defensive ability without all the baggage. Think every team would value that.
