Fixed.
Why does Orlando live rent free in so many people's heads on the GB?

1) Nikola Vucevic
Vooch is the king of the contract year bounce. He cruises through the early part of his contracts then BAM! hits the turbo button just in time to lure another deal from another sucker. If he put the same effort in to every year???.....
2) Pascal Siakam
Given that, frankly, he is and has always been an excellent player, he prob shouldn't be on here. Except there seems to be some doubt as to whether he's really THE GUY for the Raps. Barnes in his 2nd year, center help from Koloko (who will get minutes early and help massively in the defensive paint), perimeter defence and smarts from Porter... Pascal's additional supporting cast will help him feature more at the stuff he excels at. By the time the POs swing around, nobody credible will be doubting him.
3) Bones Hyland
I loved him in the draft so this is a bit homeristic, but for a rail thin kid his defence as a rookie was surprisingly tolerable, he was in a lot of Denver's better lineups and not in many of its poor ones, his fluidity and skillset is undeniable. For a guy who might have seemed to GMs a pure bench scorer type, he sure does play some team basketball. More minutes are coming his way and it looks like he'll make the most of them.

1) Paul George
Offensive numbers on the wane, injuries, getting banged up playing PF... I'm not predicting Dante's inferno but i think a sizeable dropoff is in the tealeaves for George. Wall coming in might help things, but there's a lot of miles on the various clocks and several injury histories over in LA (without much quality young depth) to suggest that old bodies will be shouldering big weights.
2) Buddy Hield
Mathurin kicking down the door behind him in Indy, mid-contract demotivation, possible move to a vet team who won't enjoy his defensive effort and where he won't get the usage... Whichever way he turns a regression looks on the cards.
3) Josh Richardson
Others have covered it.
