    No multiple options on the poll ?

    Amen seems like the most logical option but Bari, Tari and Sheppard will also Improve with the gravity of KD.

    Alpi's numbers will be superior but not what I would consider a leap. I think his assists and efficiency will jump up just by being surrounded by superior talent.

    I believe in Jabari and Tari as essential role players but no more. Reed's can't be considered a leap either as he barely played last year.

    Amen will be an all star at minimum as well as all defense. I could see all nba. I expect him to run the show a lot more. Amen's leap is coming soon and it will be special.

    Sheppard averaged like 3-4 ppg, he should be averaging double digits if nothing goes wrong.......

    The shooting part should be at least much improved.

    Next up are Jabari and Amen......but not as drastic as in +7.....

    JG's below average efficiency (worse than Cam Thomas) 17.5 FGAs / 21 pts will be replaced by KD's elite efficiency (better than SGA) 18 FGAs / 26.6 pts

    now Dillon's 12 FGAs plus 2 of FVVs 12 FGAs should be divided among Amen, Jabari, and Sengun

    so I expect
    Amen from 10 FGAs last season to 16 this upcoming season
    Jabari from 10 FGAs last season to 16 this upcoming season
    Alpi from 15 FGAs last season to 17 this upcoming season

    it depends on the three of them who can maximize the additioanal shots they're getting this season

    100% agree. I just want to see Jabari pop next year. Like shoot 45% from 3 and average 19 a game for a #1 seed
