Just saying, despite some of the claims made earlier in this thread about what "nobody is saying," I AM super-excited about this roster as it stands, and I DO think that this roster (with development) can be a WCF team in three years.
- Dame is already a superstar and will reach another level this year,
- Hendo is a solid if unspectacular starter, and exactly what we need at the 2 right now
- CJ is all set to be the league's next super-sub,
- Aminu as a starter will be DPOY-level,
- Crabbe is salivating at the opportunity to show what he can do with regular time,
- Harkless not only has all the tools to be an effective backup SF, but now also the motivation
- Leonard can score from anywhere on the floor, and is ready to hit the big-time
- Plumlee and Davis may be the league's most efficient 1-2 punch at the center position
- Vonleh's talent is off the charts, and will be an all-star by the end of this decade
- Alexander has enormous untapped potential, and will surprise all of you once he earns some PT
No, we're not a title team today, but these guys are young enough that the PT they'll get this year will allow for impressive improvement and development, but they're also going to be good enough that they'll be able to develop without the sub-20-win type season that can damage a player's psyche permanently. 1 year from now, we will all be expecting a playoff-caliber team, and within 3, we'll be ready to hang banners.
None of y'all homer like I homer!
