Sigh..still need a real starting 3 and 5....

Jahlil Okafor or Stanley Johnson. Boom. There you go.

Stanley looks meh to me.
I watched a game of his at mater dei. I don't see it. I'm probably wrong though :lol:

I hate all Mater Dei players. They all give me the "entitled" feel.

This offense seems like it would benefit Randle so much

He followed the trend of Mater Dei kids and transferred (New Mexico).

I think the opposite. It would hurt his development if he's primarily used as a post up option.

His son transferred I think

Well they'd have to have really bad seasons to slip all the way to the early to mid 20s for us.

The new draf proposal should help!

If it passes, it will not go into effect the following season. It will be 3-4 years later.

pmatic · Jul 30, 2014

Even so, I will stand by my claim this team is going to be bottom five territory bad.

licensed to ball · Jul 30, 2014

Cool.

pmatic · Jul 30, 2014

I figured I stir the pot some.

Edit:

Mitch was on Cowherd this morning (it's on ESPN's NBA page):

Says team will have to rely more on defense than offense this upcoming season.

Doesn't want to build through the draft. Could be a "6-8 year process" and too much fan pressure. :rolleyes

Wants to build as quickly as possible.

Reverted to five championships when Cowherd questioned him on whether players want to play with Kobe.

Cowherd predicted around 18 PPG and Mitch says that's realistic.

Buss ownership has final say in decisions, like it always has been.
