Marreese Speights shared his thoughts on his former teammate Andre Iguodala, saying the veteran forward can become a GM in the future.
Speights told Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Heavy.com that he has consistently seen Iguodala mature over the course of his career and he could easily become a GM once his playing career is over.
“Then when I seen him in Golden State, I knew he was a whole different player because he went through Denver and he stayed up there for a year, he did what he did and got them to the playoffs and then came to the Warriors – he’s always been a really smart guy, he knows plays before they happen and all that kind of stuff;
I can definitely see him as a GM or coach one day. Or maybe even an owner or something one day. That’s what kind of understanding – that’s how smart he is. After seeing his growth as a younger player ‘til he got a little older… and he always knew how to play this game the RIGHT way and always guiding the guys the RIGHT way. And that’s good man,” Speights said.
Iguodala, a three-time NBA champion, joined the Miami Heat before the February 6 trade deadline. He is averaging 4.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in his first 12 games with the Heat, who are 6-6 since he joined the roster.
