    Leaps may be hard to come by if you only look at stats. For instance, I'd be surprised if we have a guy averaging 10 RPG given that there's Sengun, Jabari, and Amen along with everyone else going for a limited number of caroms. Same with PPG. Improvements may not be that noticeable to the casual fan, but I'm expecting a big jump in team basketball.

    (If everyone put up the individual stats we want from them, we will outrebound opponents by 15+, have a point margin of 25+, and never lose a game.)

    I think Green and Jabari will take the biggest leaps. They just seem really serious about it. I can see a slight improvement in health and 3PT% from Tari taking his net impact to the next level.

    I see our shooting improving. The coaches have been talking about it a lot. The players have been working hard this summer.

    Honestly our ceiling entirely depends on whether we can improve the shooting in this core. Sengun, Amen, Green, Jabari and Tari all need to catch up in the shooting department.

    The majority will make the Leap, who makes the most sizable one......

    Hope Shepp makes the leap from Zero to Hero.

    Over the past 2 seasons, the Rockets have won 71% of the games where Tari had 15+ shot attempts. (5-2)

    We already know he's our best defender. I think he's going to expand his offensive bag and play a huge role next season.

    Tari Eason was on a Kawhi trajectory before he got hurt. How soon we forget.
