I started to look for Darko comps for Keyonte as well, but didn't find anything worth discussing. If you take Keyonte's year in perspective, he started the year ok at a -2, so a little better than expected for a rookie, but then struggled to rookie expectation levels (-3), then he started to make some progress to about a -2 DARKO (similar to Clarkson), but then they started sitting Lauri and everyone and the load was too much for Keyonte and he dropped way down. My guess is if we kept Lauri and Clarkson in the rotation for the whole season and lightened his load a little he would have ended up at -2 or better.

I'm pretty sure If Keyonte is still playing at -3.8 DARKO level next year, that Hardy isn't going to play him the highest minutes on the team. So that's another consideration.

I'm pretty sure initial values for rookies are basically place holders, so I wouldn't put too much stock into that....but I'd agree that he's probably going to be much better than that his rookie year. What's difficult for Keyonte is that he plays such an outsized role. Even if he's not a bad player, we're asking him to do one of the hardest things in the NBA (be a lead ball handler) and also not asking him to play much defense. That's just a recipe for negative unless that player is truly special.

Really? I can't see a single game we will go into as favourites until the Pistons game in December.

The first Spurs game is a pretty easy W. They will be coming off a B2B against OKC on the road.

And it's hard to say how hard the schedule is until we know how many opponents are on B2B's or not when facing them.

I didn't check the opponents schedule, so you are probably correct there, even though I think the Spurs will be much better than us this season .

Playing SAS 4 times before Thanksgiving. We do worse than split those and I think we are doing pretty good with the tank. Early schedule should benefit the tank.
