We could be one injury away from a full on tank job, but I'm definitely looking forward to see who steps up with the opportunity. The potential of Pritchard taking another step forward is particularly interesting to me.  I think we may have seen peak Pritchard last season, but I will never underestimate that guy.

I'd love to see the team play well enough to make a Tatum return a tough decision (if he's proven healthy)

Best case scenario in terms of how well individual players and the team perform would be that Simons matures into a rounded player who can score 20 pts, Garza shows he can be a legit bench big, and Amari Williams plays well enough to earn meaningful minutes.  I guess you could add in Queta although I feel like I have seen enough of him to know what he is.  Brown, White, Hauser, Pritchard kind of are what they are.  Walsh, and the other young players are probably not going to produce any surprises.

Even with Simons, Garza, Williams, and even Queta being surprisingly good, I don't have high expectations for team success (wins).

Queta giving this thread a bump with his Euro play against the juggernaut Czechs! Now we get to see how he does against Jokic, Sengun and Zinger.

My hope is that X is fully healed and will play well enough to be the C's starting power forward while we wait for JT  Also hope that Q will continue to progress and play well enough to be the C's starting center.  Lot's of hopes and dreams.

Looking at our roster and the rest of the East I think we are still a top 4 team at least....
