    ESPN has a "New and Improved" article on Insider about the best offseason acquisitions. I really want to know if Rolo made the list.

    That's interesting that Mo made the list.

    He doesn't jump that high, but honestly it's a good thing. If he jumped 8" higher, he would be injuring his head at the rim.

    I think if Mo cut down on the unforced turnovers I would feel better. The difficult passes are driving me crazy. I like his aggressiveness as a shooter. I don't mind him being a gunner off the bench. Continue to push the ball up the floor, but don't force things.

    Batum also needs to cut down on some of his unforced errors. Especially the low bounce passes to 7 footers.

    For me it's the dribbling. The shots don't bother me, the passing doesn't bother me, it's the dribbling for 15 seconds that bothers me. Our starting unit passes the ball so much, and the movement just stops cold when the bench is in.

    Part of that is mo being mo. And part being that moving the ball through Aldridge and Lopez is a lot safer than Robinson and Freeland

    Wright doesn't seem to make awesome decisions with the ball either.
