OK guys, August is over and our Roster is basically set so we know what we have with Players and Coaches. I want to see your early projections on wins/losses. Of course we can change our minds between now and opening day but I am curious to see what you guys think of now as the dog days of summer are coming to an end.
29 is my early choice, I keep flipflopping between 29 and 30 as I set my over/under at 29.5. I may go 30-32 before the season starts if I like what I see/hear about what is happening in practices and how Pre-season goes. If we even win 29 that is a 12 game improvement which is significant. My off season grades consist of:
Draft = A-, Ingram and Zubac. Ingram will be a SuperStar in 3 years IMO and Zubac could turn out to be a Good player but we don't know yet.
Coaching hire = A, Luke's resume speak for itself. Potentially will be a Great NBA HeadCoach
Free Agent pick ups/other offseason moves = C, the re-signing of Clarkson and signing of Deng keeps this at least Average - Both Good moves, re-signing Clarky was a common sense move though. Deng is a Solid Veteran player. Great moves was letting Roy go and kicking Sacre and Kelly to the curb but those were common sense moves as well. Still not big on the Mozgov signing but we needed a Center so it is what is. He should be better than Roy so that is a positive way to look at this but he is injury prone. Not sure what to make of the Yi signing yet? Grade would've been higher but we really didn't sign any big names or do anything earth shattering.
-I have an A- an A and a C which is pretty Good overall, that averages out to a B basically!
