Thing is I wouldn't be surprised if that is just fine- again it isn't like I'm predicting a winning record- but I do predict we have a winning record vs the east and near .500 at home. We'll be miserable on the road vs the West and out of the playoffs, but we'll definitely NOT have the worst...

83-84 season was a great one for young me, finally seeing them climb the ladder into being a decent team- it was a special year. Just another cherry on top of the best year in history for all things American culture/sports.

Collins is the one we'll miss on that list. Clarkson was 9th according to basketball-reference and I expect organic experience/growth for our guard line to get up where Sexton was. Cody was the anchor and he'll either improve drastically or his minutes will be taken by others. Isaiah is the...

I'd agree if it weren't for the press conference disavowing intentional tanking. Even then I just don't see who you can hand minutes to to intentionally tank. Svi and who?

20-35 with the upside more likely, possibly even 40. We got rid of our negative players attracting minutes except Svi. Nurkic looked good in Euros, Ace was a great get at our spot, Niang is a great culture booster and good shooter, everyone is raving about Key, Flip looks deadly good, Lauri...

I think the bigger issue is Ballmer is just a huge fish worldwide- none of the owners (or the league in general) can really afford to get on his bad side.

It’s too bad too, because he’s very knowledgeable- just can’t get past his monotonous/wooden delivery style.

I like what he's been doing in EuroBasket other than the inconsistent 3s...

Being that scoring and rebounding are the most important stats for that position, that seems to infer that Lauri is better, no? Not like Hayward was a defensive stalwart. He was a better passer but that's still 2/3 categories for Lauri...

My first impression is only the guard rotation that is in question. Kessler/Lauri/Ace by the end of the season seems pretty close to 100% likelihood barring injury/trades, though Ace can play up/down the lineup (which makes it more likely he finds a starting spot.) Though, typing that out, if...

Yep, he's offensively potent, may grow into an all-star level offensive player, but his relatively poor length for a big man may always haunt him on defense.

How about that lineup + Laurie with Cody at PG? Just warms the cockles of one’s heart, eh?

1- Ace - until proven otherwise his is the highest ceiling two way player on the list 2- Kessler - He is the player that has proven elite NBA skill on the defensive end 3- Flip - Also near proving an NBA elite skill, on offense though 4- Williams - Two way potential is enough to lift him here...

Really like the passing and smoothness- dude has all the freakin talent, just needs sustained focus and some more muscle and he’s a beast.
