Roughly half the roster is worth having if you’re a contender, but half of that half is rookies. They should be fun to watch, but if they have to play 9-15 significant minutes it’ll be brutal.

I see them being a 500 team and Lilliard winning ROY. They will battle for the 8 seed in the west if they can keep their young core healthy. They may not be a great team but they will show tons of improvement and have excitement which has obviously been lacking since oden officially became a wash and broy lost his cartilage .
