With JT’s offensive performance this past season and leapfrogging his Olympic teammates as the 2nd leading scorer for the tournament, he is going to be entrenching himself in the top 10 player this upcoming season. Once he shores up his handle, he’s going to be a Top 5 player.
Defeating KD and the Nets will be a tall task, but I’m glad that Brad is fully embracing a strong defensive identity by collecting excellent defensive players. Combine JT, the defense, and Brown being a Top 20-30 player and I am bullish on the C’s making another Conference Finals run.
