I hope OG spends the summer working on his handles and his pull-up game. That's what he needs most to take the next step.

I'd say before you try to expand his game with handles and mid-range jumpers, have him be a competant 3+D guy first

He's a below average 3 point shooter and his defense is mediocre. He bricks so many wide open 3s.

Lowry
Thomas
OG
Siakam
Gasol

FVV
Powell
Johnson
Hollis-Jefferson
Ibaka

Decent 10... not gonna win us a chip but will get us a decent seed in the playoffs. We definitely need a shooter or two though as Johnson and Jefferson are not great shooters.

We also really need another point guard. Lowry will probably sit a lot of games due to rest/nagging injuries and we could use a solid 3rd PG/combo guard to backup up FVV in those situations.

I’m excited to see what they can do with more minutes and consistent minutes.

If OG can start by being a more athletic PJ Tucker he’s in great shape. Any offensive contributions beyond that are gravy.

Norm needs to find an offensive rhythm and continue to figure out how to score at the rim most effectively. He made a jump last year imo when he previously was a straight line driver. If he can find consistency in his jump shot release he will be a serious threat.

Avery Bradley got waived, Masai needs to try and get him.

I just want him to develop his 3. 3 and d guy for us would be perfect.

Don't see it with OG. I'd love to be wrong but he doesn't seem to be interested in being a scorer. He tries occasionally but he doesn't look like he's comfortable putting the ball on the floor

I see McCaw starting over Norm. If we retain him.

It's going to be a long season when you look at the unknown with how gasol might look after year older. Powell and OG are too inconsistent players with low basketball IQ... Ahhh!!! God help us.
