    This should be a poll

    I go with my boy Meyers. Contrary to @HailBlazers hating on him!!!! ;)

    It would be best for the team if Meyers is the most improved player.
    I suspect it'll be between Crabbe and Harkless - whichever one Terry decides to play (so Crabbe, probably).
    Outside shot [ba dum, ching] at Plumlee...if he is able to develop any sort of reliable shot.

    Leonar_ could play defense one time and win it.

    This is a tough question. Who has a lot of room to improve that will also receive the playing time needed?

    I'm going for Harkless, but playing time could be an issue

    Crabbe should get playing time, and he has a LOT of improving to do to live up to that contract. So using your criteria, and hoping in one hand while doing something else in the other, I'll randomly select Crabbe.

    For me the list is smaller on who I don't think could be most improved. Dame (he WILL improve but hard to see as most improved), Montero (once again I can see improvement - hopefully but not a huge magically jump), Napier (ditto to Montero), Project Pat (physical limitations are hard to overcome) and Layman (can you be most improved when we don't know where you are right now?). Any of the other 10 guys on our roster could be most improved otherwise imo.

    Just because I am bored, I will list them in order that I could see them improving the most this year. Just know, 1 to 5 is really almost a tie. They are close.

    1. Crabbe
    2. Festus
    3. Moe
    4. CJ
    5. Turner
    6. Vonleh (will depend on playing time though)
    7. Leonard
    8. Plumlee
    9. Davis
    10. Aminu

    11. Dame
    12. Napier
    13. Layman
    14. Montero
    15. Project Pat

    I'm gonna puke. Seriously, blow chunks everywhere. (fair warning) He should be posting videos of himself doing Taekwondo. WWF bodyslams. Not, well, not whatever the hell that was....

    Sadly, unless the CBA changes, if Ezeli blows up (performance-wise, not knee-wise), we won't have him for more than two years.

    That's too far down the road for me to worry about. We can deal with it then. I'm just looking at the upcoming season, and why I think he's gonna kick some butt for us. Hopefully.....

    True.

    But you did bring up re-signing him, and that's what I responded to.

    Got ya. Yeah, I said that to be kinda funny- cause of all of our current signings. (shoot, let's resign EVERYONE on a 4 year/whatever deal.....) Lol
    I AM very happy N.O. has done this though....
