    Dieng is going to be our solidified sixth man by the end of the season if he doesn’t get injured. He’s good and comfortable. Just needs to stay consistent.

    Micic as a bench general replacement for what we hoped Mann would be is going to be fuckin huge.

    Him slinging passes at the right moment to Bertans/Joe/Poku/Cason/JWill/Dieng for an easy bucket is going to mean the world when we need to give our starters a break.

    Agree with Wallace / Micic call outs…

    Going against the grain… if Kenrich is healthy his impact in tough and grinding situations is immense.

    Doesn’t show up as much in the stats but it does in those really tight physical games that we scrap our way to close wins.

      Kenny Hustle is the one for me too. He can do so much, and play so many roles it makes sense that whatever the Top 5 can’t do, he can slide into that role and keep us successful.

    Cason at the beginning of the season. Ous at the end.

    Isaiah Joe.

    He’s a crucial piece in plays as he acts as shooter (probably the best shooter on the team tbh). The league knows he can shoot so players are more likely to stay on him when Zai pulls a defender away.

    My favorite thing about this question is the variety of players being mentioned…and all are reasonable answers. Dieng. Poku. Joe. Wallace. Micic. Hustle. And honestly, I’m probably missing someone that should be included in the list. And it’s conceivable that someone ELSE could pop as a monster that impacts winning THIS season. Hell, it could be JWill!!

    Someday we will remember this season as “the good old days” when a new legacy was being born.

    Ous is a goddamn sniper. if he gets the confidence to attack the basket with more aggression, he would be unstoppable.

    I’m out here in left field, but the long-shot favor is Olivier Sarr turning into a solid 12-15min per game rotation player at the 5. This is his year.

    I would say the player that fixes the most problems from last season. Cason or Chet. They both should improve our 3 point % and defense. I would say Chet has the edge because of his rim protection which we completely lacked last season.
