I’m talking about the non rotational guys this year. Which one, if any, will be in the rotation next season? Simons Trent Jr. Labissiere I don’t think you need my answer, ya already know.
Simons has the best chance, but I'd like to see all of them get some burn especially early in the season.
Skal is the young player who might be the most promising for us. Notice that he scored 29 points on 12 of 17 FG shooting in the SAC game. Although several posts give all credit to Ant for winning that game, it was in fact a team effort to which Skal made major contributions that should be recognized. Skal played well for us, and deserves min along with Meyers and Zach in what can be a dominant rebounding, improved defense Blazer team next season. Let's see what this big front court can do with Dame and CJ to get to the Championship!
I would have bet money at the beginning of the year it would be Trent Jr. But, now, assuming that we don't re-sign Curry, Aminu, Layman and Kanter, and based on the last game of the season, I think Simons gets Curry minutes soon and Skal may get some backup PF minutes. Both showed they had the tools, just need to get stronger and more experienced.
Asking honestly, are you serious? I haven't seen a way where that would be possible without all taking massive pay cuts. I can see Hood or Kanter, maybe.
Simons is the only legit NBA player of those three. (That's assuming he continues to work on his game.) Looking forward to watching him in Summer League.
I'm pretty sure you don't view this as a good thing, but I certainly would be happy with that. Curry is the biggest reach, and would be the most important keeper.
No, I view that as an awesome thing. This team while letting Aminu walk and starting Zach at the PF is great to me! Dame CJ Harkless Collins Kanter (Nurk when he returns) Curry Hood 2nd Rnd Pick Layman Skal
Dude, (Imho), you post some really weird stuff at times. However, it's always positive, and I REALLY like that. Seriously. This post if yours now? You nailed it....
Here's my view of our offseason: Let Layman go. Offer mid-level (whichever mid-level we have) to Hood, hopefully he takes it. Offer vet min to Curry and Kanter - they don't take it. Offer 3-year $21 to Aminu TO COME OFF THE BENCH. Move Collins to the starting lineup. Rotation: Lillard - Ant McCollum - Hood Harkless - ET Collins - Aminu Nurk - Biebs (Skal until Nurk comes back) Rotation does not include 2 or 3 guys we sign for vet. min., some of which might make the rotation, but I can't prognosticate until they are signed. tldr; Ant, Skal until Nurk returns.
Really all depends what Olshey does I can see all 3 get playing time or olshey if olshey find away to bring all 3 Curry Hood Kanter then maybe they ride the pine. Out of the 3 that has the best chance it would be Simons and SKals. I do like Trent but it like Simons is ahead of him right now.
