Hopes and expectations for the remaining 25 games of the 16-17 season? 

Post#1 » by Qwigglez » Sat Feb 25, 2017 12:24 am

Just wondering what everyone is hoping/expecting going into the rest of the season.


Eric Bledsoe - Hoping he continues to show his leadership. He's been relentless this year and in the past I've noticed him disappearing for games at a time. Not so much this year. Hopefully we rest him more the rest of the season, I don't want his knees blowing out.

Devin Booker - What's he shooting in 2017? Something like 45 FG% and 40 3FG%? I like those numbers for a SG, I would prefer him to get as close to 50% as possible, but for now, those are solid numbers. I'd like to see Book perform better in other statistical categories such as assist and rebounds. I think he's a capable passer but we just don't have the right personnel around him as of now.

TJ Warren - Please please please go back to beginning of the year TJ. I'm hoping the extra rest gave him the time he needed to regather himself. With Tucker gone, Warren should see more time and a couple more shots per game.

Marquese Chriss - He's been improving as the year went on, I just hope he keeps it up. Seeing improvements throughout the season is huge, most guys improve during the offseason. No more ticky-tack fouls.

Tyson Chandler - Stay healthy. Take some rest games. Take a lot of rest games. Stay vocal though, and continue being the veteran leader.

Brandon Knight - Now that you know you are part of the team long term, can you start acting like it? Embrace the 6th man role. This is your destiny. Watch Lou Williams tapes. I'm pretty sure LB was brought in solely for your benefit.

Alex Len - Play more consistently. This is your final shot of showing your worth before your restricted free agency period. Hoping for a couple more double-double performances.

Tyler Ulis - Just hoping he gets more burn time. It's fun to watch him.

Dragan Bender - He's hurt, so just get healthy.

Alan Williams - Keep bringing that energy and hustle. PJ is gone now, so we need someone to fill the void of heart of the team.

- Only winning about 5 games (5-20)
- Knight/Len starting for value purposes
- Chandler/Bledsoe with limited minutes
- Playing our youth as much as possible

Len you don't have to force post-ups... Just be a defender/rebounder/passer type center.

play tough, give more chances for our youngsters
nothing more to ask other than that... maybe more coaching sprinkles from watson?

improvement from the young guys, Bender coming back to play and be healthy, no injures, Bled, Knight, and Chandler with good trade value going into the off season, finishing with a high draft pick, and TJ warren playing like he did to start the season.
