    I don't think 42-43 wins will get you to the PO in the West. It will take closer to 50...

    I think it is way too early to say. I'll wait for the regular season as still roster movements can happen.

    Right now, I would say 30-35 is realistic.

    45 wins should do it. The West is stacked at the top, but I don't see the lower tier teams winning more than 50 games. Teams like Portland, Clippers, the Nuggets. Solid teams, but I don't see them winning 50 games.

    They've been replaced by more team orientated players who are more well rounded and fit Luke's system better.

    True, but it's still significant that we don't have the same caliber shooters. Look at how successful Lonzo looked with 3-4 knockdown shooters out there.

    Lou: 38.5%
    Nick: 40.4%
    Russell: 35.2%

    Lopez: 34.6%
    Pope: 35%
    Ball/Hart/Kuzma/Bryant:??

    I think Russell is fairly well replaced by Lopez, but especially Nick was extremely valuable with his outside shot. Lou was streaky and hit difficult shots, I think he's approximated by KCP with Lonzo. If Lonzo, Ingram, and Randle don't step significantly forward though, we will struggle to play successfully at the pace we want to play.

    Ingram: 29.4%
    Pope: 35%
    Randle: 27%

    All of these numbers are going to have to improve. Ingram and Randle need to be where KCP is. Pope needs to be up in the 37-39% range.

    I agree 100% ...I'm confident Pope can increase his % a couple of points in this system . As for Lonzo , I don't know what to expect as the SL represents a small sample/stretch so I'm not ready to qualify him as a bricker yet

    Over/under 35 is a good number. I'm thinking 37 wins is a good ceiling, but its going to be entertaining regardless of result.
