I don't see a lot of development either. Last year everybody was excited becasue in that short time Rambis appeared to have fixed Brewers jumper. Then this year he regressed. Flynn regressed big time. Darko.... I don't know, he has been much the same. Actually, he has probably regressed slightly. Bassy looked improved when he played but he never got PT.
Webster regressed (maybe due to injury). Wayne improved, he is inconsistent but he has some potential, good ball handling and can shoot. Statistically Tolliver has regressed but I think that's more Golden States system and minutes than anything else.

Re: Wolves At Suns (FSN)
i think for the first 25 or so games, guys were showing great improvement...there was a real sense of excitement amongst incredibly frustrating loses. darko was building and improving towards being a top 10 center in the league, love was being love and dominating, beasley showed massive growth and becoming a carmelo lite player(i still have a LOT of faith in beasley becoming a great player). the biggest weakness and still is our back court...jonny was injured in those first 25 games and beyond awful on return, wes is just ridiculously inconsistent and doesn't know how to use his tools.
after those first 25 or so games when everything was so encouraging, something happened. whether it was a combination of discouragement from losing so many close, competitive games that we gave away in final minutes, or in darko and beasley's case's, injuries. I was so frustrated during those first 25 or so games, like genuinely **** off watching us give away so many close games, but there was still so dam much hope and promise.
i don't think anyone can deny beasley and darko's injuries derailed their seasons. I was EXTREMELY **** off with the medical staff who let these two guys hobble back out on the court and makes things 10 **** times worse. darko and beas showed great heart by wanting to be back out on the court but HAD to be held out for their own good. I simply was gobsmacked in many games watching darko completely hobbling from the opening tip of games and firstly being allowed to even warm up let alone play, same with beas. i'm not going to say injuries were the only reason for darko's lack of continued success(although a large part), his lack of consistent effort from day to day played a big factor aswell, although i believe a large part of this was injuries.
The team quit a long time ago and i think a lot of that is on rambis. i was his biggest supporter early on but i believe he needs to go now. his offensive and defensive schemes are just plain not good enough. we need a veteran coach who is going to balance playing and developing young guys and trying to produce wins. we obviously need more vets as well.
ps longest post i've ever written, exhausting.

Yes. I'd love to hear your explanation for which players besides Love have developed. Make sure you also address which players have regressed.
Alright, well I do stand corrected. There really hasn't been that much more production out of people. Beasley is still a high rater per minute high volume shooting scorer and the rest have remained the same or gotten worse.
