I got them between around 6 to 8. Think Russ will be a monster, but no real deadly 3pt threat will hurt them over time I think.

For me I like the Pic N roll between Russell Westbrook and the bigs mainly Steven Adams big time.

I think a big portion of the usage % that KD took up is going to go to Russell Westbrook: I think he will average 32/8/6 on 45% FG And Adams will average about 15-17 and 8 boards.

The X factor of this team is how well RW and Oladipo work together. To me this team will finish with the 6th seed.

4-6. After GSW/SAS/LAC. In with Utah and Portland.

Edit: For clarity, voted 5th, right in the middle. I'd be shocked if they miss the playoffs barring major injuries.

Fourth or 5th, the West is top heavy and lacking depth, while Russ is going to play out of his mind. I'm not sure if they'll be better than the Grizz or not, but I'll give Russ the benefit of the doubt.

7 - 10 seed.

Lack of spacing and if I am the opposition, I'm happy watching Westbrook force it.

4th. If the Warriors ended up with the #1 seed, that would be a volatile 2nd round series..

You shouldn't be.

And he's been a better floor general than just about anyone outside CP3 the past couple seasons.

I'd say 5th or 6th seed too. Steven Adams drives their defensive efficiency, but they don't enough shooters or playmakers

Anywhere under the Spurs, Warriors, and Clippers. They may not have a high seed, but theyll be a threat in a 4 game series vs anyone.

For what its worth, I have a strong feeling theyre gonna try and trade for a better wing (Like a Rudy Gay, whos on an expiring deal and already told the kings he wont re-sign, or Terrance Ross in Toronto).

Honestly, with Oladipo there, they dont need an all-star small forward, just a capable wing who can get 10-14 a night and play good D.

I have them at 4th. 3rd is a little tough barring injuries to key Clippers, Spurs or multiple Warriors. I do think a lot of people are sleeping on them tho and are gonna be surprised.

I said 7. Unless Russ or Stevie gets injured, in which case we're 8 seed (Stevie out) or out completely (Russ out).

6-8.

Their shooting makes the Bulls look like GSW. Their bench sucks too. Westbrook and Adams are good enough to keep them in the hunt for a lower seed though. The west isn't very deep after the obvious contenders.
