I think it's obviously Love and Hood as offensive weapons but who else besides them?

I think Cedi only because he wasnt used much last year, and while Love has had success and big numbers in the past I think the game has changed to the point that his lack of NBA athleticism will keep him from getting back to his previous numbers with the T Wolves. Hood is a mystery to me, he should have flourished playing with Lebron but instead went into a shell, I just dont know if his BBall IQ is enough that he can figure out how to fit in and score on this team, especially if teams key on him defensively which on this team might happen.

Osman should definitely make an impact all season getting heavier minutes
Hood will have 2nd option plays run for him so he will definitely benefit from that. He can score under those circumstances better than having to adapt to maybe getting a few touches as a 4th option. Can he stay focused on defense is the only question with Hood, I don't think defenses will double team him if that's what you are thinking

Hood is the answer because he was a misfit playing with LeBron, but out of those players I voted for Cedi, since he will likely get starter's minutes.

I like the fact that Smith came into camp in excellent shape...Clarkson as well. Funny what a high drafted guard will do to motivate vets to raise the bar.

Because of Clarkson getting into better shape I bet he will have a stellar year. I want to see him go to the hoop more.

team struggled to get enough offense against Indy with none of Love,Hood,Clarkson in the line up. Smith as the 1st option doesn't work.Osman missing most of the game didn't help the pace either.
I don't like the pace for this team with Hill in the game,without any of those shooters,despite his awareness and defense... he needs to get moved or get with the program
