    They’re going to be in the same 20 wins range. No more than 30. Their over under will probably be set at 25-26 wins range for next year

    I would guess 30-33 wins at this moment. Before FA that is. Which may not seem like a huge difference but it really is. If you have someone like FVV OR Connely starting and Amen taking Nix place that is pretty huge.

    Amen and Cam are both extremely raw players all things considered. They really need to have a balance of decent vets coming in to usher in some improvements from Sengun and Green. I’m not sure how much Eason and Jabari will improve that will likely come more when Jabari is 21 and has a sophomore Amen.

    Yes the adjustment on the number will depend on what level of vets are coming in

    Not always. We've seen many coaches over achieve with their rosters. This year's Heat is an example.

    But I thought Sengun was already our star player (he got robbed of the league MVP this year and on any other team would have scored 40 ppg with 20 boards and 12 dimes. ;)

    The real question is when you will become a net neutral poster? It's been 10 years on here and you are still one of the worst posters on here.

    It is still too much ISO for me, move and catch and shoot is what I want to see some of......but he looks very in shape.

    In the video you can see him practicing catch and shoot starting from the 1:00 mark.

    Form looks more compact and his release looks good.

    Sengun was and is never what you suggested him to be !!!
    in his first season he was the number 9th player on the rockets.
    Second year he has improved quite a lot and we hope he will make
    significant improvement in his third season. Y/

    Green was using and abusing what appeared to be the U of H computer science team's finest out there. Who were those chaps with the paddles?

    Agreed. Many posters here are like children. I can see them with their own kid who doesn't play sports well, "Honey, we need to make another kid... this one's r****ded!"

    Pop could coach a team of rabbits into the 7th seed.

    Coaching matters

    Pop isn't at that level of coach now. I'm certain in Wemby's prime if he has one, Pop won't be the head coach.

    Spoelstra is that coach now.

    That’s not an example. When you have 2 legitimate stars that already went to the finals before and together, yeah 0 correlation there

    I’ve heard that for the last couple years. Turned out well. The books feast on the squares with the “easy overs”
