What timeframe? This year it's going to be closer to something like 4 or 5 ppg. Don't think 15 ppg is realistic until his 3rd year in the league, but maybe he surprises us with a huge improvement this offseason.

He was 2-6 (33.3%) for shots from 15+ feet - if he can get closer to 45-50% in those midrange jumpers and at least around 35% from three, I’d be ecstatic. But his shoot is still a work in progress.

I liked what Jaren did, but I don’t think we can say he held Allen when Allen didn’t miss a single shot, kellz 😛

I agree, slim. I think Dillon obviously sees himself as part of a big 2/3, but reality is that he’s had hot streaks before (see January of the 2019-2020 season) and then reverted back to an inefficient wing who likely shouldn’t be taking as many of the shots he does. For his current contract, he’s a fantastic value, but I think we’ll have some tough decisions when he’s up for an extension - with Melton, Bane and Zaire waiting to fill that wing role. Of course, if he can replicate the efficiency he showed against the Jazz over a large chunk of the season, then I’ll happily eat crow however folks want to serve it up.

Now with the nice assist haha

He heard you

Nice job, JJJ

They got some pieces... Seriously - that Allen/Mobley/Markkanen frontcourt won't work. I didn't like the signing for them.

There are very few players (...if any...?) that I'd rather watch on a nightly basis than Ja.

That was pretty - never seen a tap like that on a jumpball

Cavs fans will bust out the pitchforks when Markkanen fails to post up Bane. That’s my prediction 🙂

Harden and Curry will be just fine.

Woah, there's a bold pick! Hope you're right - for benchmarking reasons, the only teams last season that won at a higher % were Sixers, Nets, Bucks, Jazz, Suns, Nuggets and Clippers.

45 wins - we were at a 43-win pace last year, so I think we see a slight improvement but the West is rough.

Think that's right, and also a function of having a very young team, a coach in TJ who literally never throws anyone under the bus and Ja's own fun personality as well.
