- improved FT shooting from Tristan. Really, all they need him for is lobs, boards, and defense. If he can hit 70% of his FTs (he got to 69.3% once!), he'd be golden.
- improved defensive consistency from Ky and Love. They've shown what they *can* do in spurts. Kev obviously has a lower defensive ceiling than Ky, but both should be better. I don't even need them to be *good* defenders. I need them to be passable.
- Shump has to make his 3s. Period. His defense simply isn't yet ball-stopper enough for him to be on the floor making less than 35%. I agree that he's improving. He needs to improve faster, cuz right now, any time he has the ball, I'm screaming for him to pass.
- I'd love more rebounds from Frye-- let's say 5 per game-- but I'm not picky. If he can make 38%+ from 3, I'm good.
Offseason moves:
- I'd love them to bring back Delly for cheap, if just cuz of how goddamn mad he makes people. That and I'm not in love with this class of bench point guard free agents if he goes. (Dream scenario involves landing Seth Curry, but that's the fan in me.)
- My dream signings: Kent Bazemore or Luol Deng. Good perimeter defense, better shooters than Shump, ready to win now. Not sure if either could be afforded... but they're dream signings.
- Guys who could likely be signed for cheap who I think still have some potential as bench guys who would fit well: Ray McCallum. Cleanthony Early. Ian Clark... and, especially if Mozgov leaves, Miles Plumlee.
