    I'd say mid-20s maybe more at this point. We'd look like the Kings or the Nuggets or the Pelicans maybe.

    Im thinking maybe more. Our roster is more talented than theirs and they have 39 wins. They play in the east, but it's better than it has been in past years. The big variable is the kobe farewell tour. That would cost us some wins even comparing talent to talent. I'd say we'd be right arond 30 wins now, with a chance to finish .500.

    I'm assuming there's still a strong learning curve for Russell and Randle to start. I remember OKC getting off to a VERY slow start with Durant and Westbrook. I think we'd follow suit.

    I figure we'd be at around 25-28 wins right now with a shot at 35-38 wins with a really, really good coach like Stevens.

    Jaylen Brown with an all-time AWFUL showing in the Tourney.

    If you hear that sliding sound,it's his draft stock taking a dive out of the Top 5 picks.

    Was just coming to post this. That inability to shoot is rearing it's ugly head

    The point of the game is to score the ball
    Not a good time to come up small

    I'd say we'd win about 30-35 games. I think there's still too many glaring holes on the roster to be a playoff team, but we would definitely be more exciting to watch. Also off topic, but watching the Spurs/OKC game from last week and Tirico and Van Gundy are really complaining about Jordan and D'Angelo giving themselves a nickname. Could these old dudes get over themselves? These guys are 20 and 23. What is the big deal? I just don't get why people make such big deal over a freaking nickname. They were talking about how they should at least win 20 games. Hard to do when you're playing for the worst coach in NBA history. I'm sick of these clowns in the media attacking our young core. If they actually would watch our games and understood what they have to put up with they wouldn't be saying anything.

    Ingram's offensive game is impressive. In the first few minutes against Yale, he hit a 3 and a turn around jumper. We'll certainly score big whoever we draft at #2, if we stay at #2

    Yeah really like Ingram's game. Needs to get stronger, but has a great wingspan, gets into passing lanes, great stroke, has the ability to push the break, and doesn't need the ball to be effective.

    There's a mini Lebron and a mini KD in this draft. We gotta keep that pick. We are already in too deep.

    I'm in on the Ingram train. What happens when Simmons picks a crappy school and can't lead them into the tournament.

    Simmons is no LeBron. I like Ingram, but I doubt he'll ever be a consesunus top three player like Durant. We don't need to keep the pick. What we need to do is fire Byron and get a coach in here who actually cares about development. If we keep it fantastic, but it won't really matter if Byron is still coaching.

    Duke starting to show their youth. Having real trouble with the press and the zone. Just passing the ball around the perimeter. Guys going one on one. Gee that sounds familiar.

    Yeah, I like Ingram a lot, but he's shrinking like the rest of the team right now. He is just a kid though. Yale is giving them all they can handle right now.
