Following Friday night's 129-118 rout of the Washington Wizards, the coach made simultaneous mentions of Andrew Bogut and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Kerr recalled his first two years, they ran a lot of offence through Andrew Bogut at the top of the key. He was great at dribble-handoffs and rim-diving. The praise is high.

Tracyce has a long way to go to become Andrew Bogut. Similar threat. Like Bogues, Trayce is a terrific passer, but he can run dribble-handoffs and dives. He comes to mind.
