Seems like you were just saying we might move on from Dragan since Anderson is so good and we will keep him going forward?

I don't know if I'd be super surprised if Ayton got 20/10, but I guess I probably expect something more like 15 and 10. The best would be seeing a couple of blocks, a steal, and 3+ assists per game. Those types of things will show if he really has good instincts overall or if he's just more of a finisher/rebounder.

If Dragan disappoints and Ryan has a good year, sure. It's just that expectations for Dragan are so low that he might have the easiest time surprising to the upside. I'm also taking my cues from some of the positive chatter I heard about his performance in the scrimmage. I hope we get a good look at him tonight.
