He had solid playoff performance couple years ago on defense something seems like know what's to play now on the players that plays now. Hopefully new coaching can even make him better on both ends. The kid only going be 24 next season and does have all the tools to be very good ball player.
JL is the biggest Zach fan in the forum of course, he wasn't the one who said Zach was the next Siakam
What do people think of Simons? Is he going to breakout? He's now the age Dame was when Dame entered the league. He's been working out all summer. Dame's confidence in him is sky high even though he was basically a spot up shooter last year. I thought he showed a lot of growth defensively last season. If he can play above his contract next season it could be huge for the team and the future of this franchise...
He looks like he's gotten taller to me, or maybe it's just the haircut. he and Nas need definitive roles in the rotation. At least 25-30 mpg of consistent minutes. the way Terry messed around these guys is criminal.
Nassir did an excellent job working on his game from year 1 to last year. I agree with many that Coach Billups will get the best out of him. And Little will return ready to meet, if not exceed, the challenge.
I hope that Billups shows him how to incorporate his jumping ability into his game. I also hope Billups plays him at the 2, and teaches him how to be MUCH more aggressive - drive and dunk/drive and kick.
He's got great drive and kick potential, if only he could figure out the drive part of that equation...
Dillon Brooks will break out in 2022. He's incredibly fierce, hungry and motivated. Reminded me a bit of Tatum vs. LeBron in our games this year. Just the sheer competitiveness. I'd love to snap him up if we could.
