Mitch: it seems everyone expects him to be the backup PF this season, which puts me in the minority. I think he'll still be third string and look just as good hustling, rebounding and running the floor as he did last year, but Nick has one more season left in him.
Nick: After looking done for 3/4 of a season (and the previous playoffs) Nick came back strong down the stretch last year. I think he's finallyhealthy and his P&R defense is ultimately going to make him the backup one more year. His passing also gives him an advantage now that we have 3 point shooters throughout the roster, and McGary's offensive rebounding isn't as big of a bonus with Kanter providing the same thing.
Novak: some people will complain that's he's a SF, but this is where he got into the games last year. He'll only see the court in blowouts and when we HAVE to have a three. A lineup of DJ, Morrow, Durant, Novak, Ibaka could be fun to watch though, any team ever played 5 out none in?
