How good will Malcolm Hill be? Will he improve and flourish without Rice? And what about Nunn? Will those two be able to average 18-20 ppg?
Any reports on Nunns knee? He should be 100% right?
Not sure how others feel about Hills weight. But I think if he loses 10 lbs or so then he'll make things easier on the court for him since he's a combo 3/4
Another thought is about Black Finke and Paul.
Black and Paul are the two inked in for the most minutes down low. It's a good thing they both can score. Black is a scrappy player that can rebound well enough. Paul is a versatile big with long arms (like Brandon) that seems to have a better ability to score than Black. But they both will get some points--
Finke won't get as many minutes but he's a shooter and has some game. If he can provide a solid spark off the bench when black and Paul are in foul trouble (prob when playing ANY road BT game) he can be that guy that'll stretch the 4/5 spot bc he will drill 3's. Which will help us go small if we can draw a big man out of the lane or if they go zone then we have another perimeter shooter

JCL- no need to say his name. He'll be good for us, right? I say yes to that. He will be good in the preseason but BT ball is where we will find out about his skills

Abrams- I am not worried about him playing solid on O and D for us. He's not the best shooter but he can hit tough contested shots gets to the rim draws contact and plays good perimeter defense. What's not to like? If he could shoot better then he's NBA but he's still a good player

Any thoughts? Comments?
