That’s exactly how I feel. Hopefully Andre and Lakes gives us a little more efficiency and fluidity on offense with people being able to play their normal spots. And then we get a bit more when Walker can play.
If they’re making Lat play out of position instead of giving more minutes to Yvan, that tells me Yvan is third in that pecking order and they don’t want to have to roll with him that much.
A good friend of mine went there at the same time as Nate. On more than one occasion we ended up at the same party he was at. I’m not surprised at all your cousin saw this.
That’s to be expected. In the NFL, MLB and NBA combined all playoff teams are .500 against other playoff teams during the playoffs. My point is when good teams play good teams someone still has to lose.
I suppose the small sample size for Shamiel makes him a breakout candidate as well. It would be great if he starting hitting a couple a game, but right now he’s not even taking a couple a game. So that would qualify as a breakout to me.
I think Kobe has the best shot at a “breakout”. He has proven over a large sample size to be better so has the room to improve.
Lat doesn’t have as far to go up as Kobe.
The way you laid out Thor’s numbers has made me view his shooting differently. From “he’s gotten better over his career and shot well in Hoiberg’s system last year” to “outside of the start last season, he hasn’t proven to be reliable from beyond the arc”. Love Thor, but that’s the data that’s out there.
