Wrong team :coleman:

Jrue being healthy is huge. When healthy last year he went on a 22 game stretch averaging 16/9 on 55% TS.

Healthy Jrue + Adding Asik (who I think is perfect next to AD. Plays defense, rebounds, boxes out) hopefully means 7/8 seed.

Glad you said this, was about to post that myself.

Anthony Davis will continue rising, but he can't carry a team by himself in the West.

Jrue, Evans, and Gordon need to learn how to mesh together.

But I think it does boil down to Holiday's health.

Seems like the best case scenario is a first round appearance in which they win 1 game.

I'd probably say they don't make the playoffs, but Davis is so ****ing good they might.

Gordon needs to come off the bench. Holiday + Evans NEEDS to be starting. Evans proved he was best last year starting and playing with AD.

And I think Gordon coming off the bench would be better for him too. Less pressure and playing with Ryno more.

7ish barring major injury

[Milbuck]

Injuries destroyed them last year and they still won 34 games. Another improvement year for Davis, and getting back a healthy Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson should be huge for them.

I honestly see them sneaking in as the 8th seed, making a jump similar to Portland's from 2012-13 to this past season.

[hawksdogsbraves]

I think they make it if they can stay healthy. A lot of talent on that roster.

[MannyO]

What they gunna do with Austin Rivers?

[The Choken One]

bad

[RoundMoundOfReb]

7-9 range

[magnax1]

Probably low 40 wins. Asik will make a big difference. Doubt thats enough to make the playoffs but who knows. They need to gut their back court and start over though.

If Anderson, Brow, and Jrue stay healthy they could get to the 8. But its brutal out West. Kobe coming back, Minny was the 10 seed with an SRS of 3.10, and seemingly EVERYONE is reloading.

No better than 7 seed. Being in the west is going to hurt them this season.

Let's see what their final roster looks like though. I don't think they make the Playoffs, but they have lots of young talent. Definitely have the talent to make the Playoffs.
