Don't forget kemba 3pt% went down a lot at the end of the year when he was playing with the torn meniscus

I honestly have no idea, but I'm going to go with Marv. Just a gut feeling that he has a good year.

With Kemba the constant worry is him going into hero ball mode and I saw way too much of that in the playoffs. With CLee & Lin going I worry that we will see a bit more of it this year.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I'm not gonna try to make sense of what you are saying about kemba and lin.

Mkg needs to stop diving on floors. He can play defense without being wreckless. And 1-2 plays a game is not worth injury so I hope he stops playing in that manner.



MKG has to retrain his brain to not dive on floors so much. It's instinctual for him, but, yeah, if he's going to stay on the floor he has to pull back some.

Right and my natural instinct when i see a hot girl is to open the door get on the floor and everybody walk that dinosaur but over time i learned to restrain myself and just introduce myself as "Rally"

He was just all over the place. From what I read, the knee was injured at the end of March. After that, he had a handful of crap games and two of the best games of his entire career. He had that career-3-point-shooting performance vs New York, and the explosive Games 4 and 6 in the playoffs vs Miami. His shooting suffered in the playoffs overall, but I don't think anybody could have even guessed he was injured. Game 7 was the first time he even showed signs of his body failing him despite having the team squarely on his shoulders over the course of 89 games.
