Generally, a talented young player takes a jump at some point in their career. The wolves have a lot of young guys who have either been around for a few years or are just entering their development. Who on the roaster do you think takes a leap and separates themselves from previous perceptions?

Even though he is now one of our vets, I think Dlo's stock is going to go way up this season. Right now a lot of people see him as a pretty bad contract, I think his current contract will seem fair by the season's end.


I would love to see Okogie take a leap and start hitting shots, that would change his whole career.

My gut says Nowell, MCD, and Naz on defense.

Ant is going to be an All Star this season. So Ant.

Russell is a good one.

The numbers might not statistically leap, but an improved team record will do lots for the perceptions of Towns, Russell and even Edwards. All are poo-pooed to various degrees nationally, but more team success could alter those perceptions drastically.

In terms of statistical leaps, I think most would agree that the obvious choice is Jaden McDaniels.

Would be great if Prince took a leap. Know he's not one of our younger guys, but sounds like there is a lot of room for improvement after fully healing from his ankle injury..

Russell is a good answer too

I think McDaniels is still another year or two away.

My vote is Vanderbilt simply based on the available minutes he should have. Save for a Simmons trade that would change the dynamic of the roster, I could see him averaging close to a double double (maybe 11-8) and playing 25-28 minutes a game.

My expectations for taking a leap in the following order.

1 Ant
2 KAT
3 Russell
4 Vando
5 McDaniels

Having Vanderbilt over McDaniels lol

Nowell, he'll outplay Beverly

More people think it's going to take longer for McDaniels to emerge. A good year or two away.

I hope so. We need a good PF.

I'm going with Ant, too. I am all in for his meteoric rise!

Nowell is always the forgotten man. Someone said he was better than Beasley last season. I disagree but he has a chance to be because he can create his own shot. If he became a good shooter this season his stock goes way up.

I’d have to go with McD or Vando but if it ends up being Ant, we’re headed to another level.

If Ant goes up another level from where he ended the year, we might even avoid the play-in.

What does a leap for Ant even look like? He was 24-5-3.5 after the all star break last year.

Stellar question.

Those averages but for a whole year on decent percentages.

Doing it for a full year, and in games that matter (games where we haven’t already been eliminated from the playoffs).

So Ant leap = maintaining status quo from where he ended up last year but on a winning team?
