Andrej might be the one to play his way into the first round next year. If he attacks the basket next year like he did in the tourney this year, he’s really really dangerous.

As others have mentioned, second year leap is very possible for him too. He could get strong with his interior shot, or dish it out, and improve his perimeter shot all be next year’s end. He’ll drastically improve his draft stock.

Crazy to be in a spot where it's basically natty or bust expectations. We've got the F4 taste and now with the #retention(plus hopefully and addition) that's where we're at.

Will be interesting to see how the team and fans handle that expectation and pressure when there is an inevitable rough patch. We know the fans won't handle it well, but this group seems connected enough to pull through

Or we just go undefeated 🏆 🤔

Imagine if Andrej comes back with a 3-pt shot next season

Yes.

And yet several assured me here in early/mid-March that he was useless and deserved to be fired. :rolleyes:

Those are generally people who have never accomplished anything of note in their lives or are elite egoists. No matter the level of success one has as well as character shown, there is always a certain % of humanity that will resent them and denigrate in a heartbeat.

Just a slight tweak as IMO T and Z play together more often, and Morillo is a 3-4 combo-forward:

Vaaks (30) / Blackwell (5) / Coleman (5)
Blackwell (25) / Coleman (10) / Andrej (5)
Andrej (25) / Davis (10) / Morillo (5)
Mirk (30) / Morillo (5) / Tomi (5)
Tomi (22) / Z (18)

I like your thinking and have my own slight tweak....
Vaaks (30) / Blackwell (5) / Coleman (5..maybe this all goes Blackwell & Coleman gets 5 more at 2G)
Blackwell (25) / Coleman (15)
Andrej (30) / Davis (5..know many will disagree) / Morillo (5)
Mirk (30) / Morillo (5) / Z (5..He is the four as much as it pains me to lose shot blocking at hoop)
Tomi (27) / Z (13)

Dare to Dream....BIG

What’s kind of crazy is Dre was 21/82 for 24%. If he would of made 6 more 3’s for the year he would of been at 34% which is very acceptable

Insiders, any truth to the rumor that Andre only agreed to stay if we DID NOT sign Blackwell? That would be extremely disappointing, and not sure Brad would go for that.
