On what planet is 6th year Barrett, 4th year Barnes and 5th year IQ rookies? People are pretending our core are bunch of 19 year olds and not 2 years from all being Vets
that's just three guys. If the rest of the team is Gradey Dicks and Agbajis, that's going to be a horrible team. Scottie isn't good enough to lift a gleague roster. With Poeltl and Kelly, it gets a little harder since these guys are solid vets but even then, i don't think we're too far off. If Poeltl misses a few weeks, the team will plummet because we don't have any sort of replacement for him.
Are you not expecting improvement from all 3 of them? Scottie, RJ and IQ would have to be having incredibly disappointing seasons if they're all healthy and we are winning under 20 games no matter how horrific the rest of the roster is. There isn't a world where those 3 exceed expectations and we suck this badly.
Even if they didn't improve at all, if you take the Toronto numbers from RJ and IQ, they averaged 22 and 19 ppg while Scottie was at 20 a game. That's 61 ppg on slightly above efficiency between them. You would need McDaniels level production from the rest of the roster to lose that many games.
