Great thread.
I feel a lot of confidence -- or optimism or whatever you want to call it -- about Bonga, Bryant & Brown.
Bonga was so good already & so young to be so good that, to me at least, he seems virtually certain to make more strides.
Bryant had an unbelievable season in 2018-19. This year, he maintained his level in everything but scoring where his efficiency dropped slightly. But, a) it was still outstanding, b) it dropped on higher usage & c) he actually improved his 3-pt. shooting -- much higher % on significantly higher volume.
Right now, Bryant is one of the best offensive Centers in the league -- it's right there in the numbers. & he has done it two years in a row, so there's reason to be confident about his staying at that level. If he can keep improving incrementally on defense, by working hard & gaining more experience, wow....
I'll leave Brown for another post.
I have no confidence in Wagner or Robinson -- & not much hope either, alas.
I have a little confidence in Rui -- i.e. I do think he'll improve, I just wonder/worry how much? But, I have a lot more hope in his case than either Wagner or Robinson.
As to Garrison Mathews... it's really all hope!
We've only got 227 minutes to base anything on, & that's not enough to engender confidence. OTOH, the good news is that even if he doesn't improve much, if he gets a bunch more minutes & posts results like those of last year... we've really got us something. He was terrific! But... we'll have to see.
