Turner is still speculative, but has plenty of talent. He just needs to do a lot of work in the off season or 2 off-seasons and put it all together.

Jrue, Thad (who I think is much improved especially finishing inside) and Williams all can get even better. These 3 guys along with Brand have showed a different side of them this season that I didn't think would happen.

This is a fancy way of saying the team is exceeding expectations, right? If so, I agree. They are overachieving and still mediocre/bad.

lou has no more upside...i like what he is and its nice to have his type of potential instant offense off the bench but thats the extent of him as a player

turner is not talented....thats his problem...hes smart and he has nice size but hes as vanilla as it gets...i see him getting better but he has below average nba talent which severely limits his ceiling

thad young is just another nba player who will probably end up being on 7 or 8 teams before hes done

Its hard when you have to play down to the wizards horrendous defense, but these 2 teams do battle it out.

I love watching Jrue play point. The kid is just a flat out stud this year.

SunMo · January 06, 2011, 08:46:57 AM

i think he shoots a little too much early in the shot clock, but that's some he'll learn as he plays more.

sometimes i think he starts the offense too late into a possession, but again experience should help with that

reese125 · January 06, 2011, 09:30:30 AM

Yeah he does.....but Im amazed at the improvement hes made since the first 10 games. It really is like night and day with him. He was making the most horrendous passes, taking horrible shots, never passing the ball to players off the curl, penetrating into no mans land. Something just clicked with him or Collins is a genius.

The control he has with the ball now, his handle, balance in the paint, passing inside, and the consistency of his shot are 5x's better.

i myself am AMAZED that a 19 year who was really good as a rookie would get better

almost as AMAZED as a 20 year old struggling to run a brand new offense

reese125 · January 06, 2011, 10:08:08 AM

Holiday didn't start showing avg skills till mid march last year when the season was just about over--and he wasnt even remotely close to the players he is now from last year

There was no guarantee he was going to be anything special, especially running point full time in this offense. Please stop acting like you know shtein because you liked Rajon Rondo coming out of Kentucky.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 06, 2011, 10:28:40 AM

But you're going to continue acting like you know shtein, right?
