Since we appear settled with regards to our top-ten players, what do you think each player should focus on the most this off-season?

JT: Somehow work on his 3P%, although the addition of Brogdon’s elite shooting may open up better looks for him than the last couple years. Ideally JT somehow gets back up to 40% instead of 35%.

JB: Handle and FT%. Go watch the Finals again.

Smart: Just study film and realize how he could have avoided falling into trying to take bad shots to get us back in the game. Work on becoming a better PG floor general on offense.

Timelord: Conditioning and making adjustments to his game so he’s less likely to injure himself.

Horford: Conditioning. He’s 36 so hopefully he can maintain his conditioning.

Brogdon: Same as Timelord.

D-White: A mix of Smart with regards to being an offensive PG, and JT with regards to 3P%.

Batman: Continue doing whatever the heck he’s been doing. Dude will hopefully continue to grow like he has at the steady but measured pace.

Gallinari: Same as Horford, and study how he can effectively play backup center at times.

Pritchard: Find a way to become a better defender, and perhaps it’s about studying film and doing his best to model how Smart and D-White do it. John Stockton is one of the best defenders of all-time and he was the same height as, and thinner than, Pritchard. If he can up his game on defense, he could become a 6MOTY someday.

Additional thoughts? Pretty darn good ten players we’ve got. Exciting to see how they grow.

JT: Strength so he can finish through contact, like Giannis, and a pull up floater, like Durant, so he doesn’t always have to

Time Lord: 10-15 foot shot from the corners/elbow.

They need to improve across the board. There is no aspect that doesn't need work from any of these players. If you think you are good enough at anything than you have failed already. Curry doesn't stop working on his threes.

Right, that's why the OP started the thread.
