I think the 9th and 10th guys will be Kornet and Scheierman. Idk if Tillman returns but if he does, he could give either a run for their money. Baylor to me has the chance to crack the rotation if his shot is falling.

It would be cool to see Queta make strides and become a contributor.

I think Springer and Walsh are still about two years away.

The other guy is Springer.  Honestly, I still don't understand why we made that trade.  I'd be happier with an open roster spot, our draft picks back, and an extra $4 million to throw at Tillman.

Springer's comp is Marcus Smart. So maybe he was meant to be that, a combo guard who can play some tougher defensive matchups when we want to rest Holiday/White, and that Pritchard can't quite handle physically.

"NBA Comparison: Marcus Smart
Strengths: 6?5 combo guard ? Aggressive mindset ? Good strength and balance. Plays physical and initiates contact ? Attacks the rim off the dribble and is adept getting into the paint ? Good midrange pull-up ? Can hit shots from 3PT range."
