    Yeah the projections seem conservative to me. Look at all the stars outside of Anthony Davis they're all projected to decline. We don't really have anyone projected to make big improvements yet most analytical writers seem to like our moves.

    If all these players have declining production there has to be players out there that improve?

    It's funny how the acronym is Carmelo.

    Sorry, missed that. This is about future projections, not current ranking.

    Interesting that Hendo is projected as a scrub. Many of us thought he could be an acceptable starter or great sub but there's definitely statistical red flags with him. I'm as interested to see his performance this year as our young guys.

    Really sums up the problem. Great depth, lots of rotation worthy players, but only one stud.

    I really hope they are wrong about Vonleh and that he has a higher ceiling then that. As for Kaveman being a "defensive specialist"....WTF?

    He's actually a "scrub" and I photo shopped it. I was going to put donut lover at first, lol.
