I think Tyrese maxey could be an all star. We still haven’t seen what Cade Cunningham can become. We saw glimpses of lamelo ball he just has to stay healthy.

    Patrick Williams. Definitely. Not even close. Nowhere near as confident and assertive as he should be, but I also don’t think he’s the most fluid player and may not ever reach his potential because of that.

    SGA - If he becomes solid defensively and takes his playmaking up a notch he could be even more scary rn

    I kinda figure anyone under the age of ~23 has a bunch of low-hanging fruit associated with some of the improvements they’re going to be able to make (if they’re motivated)… It makes sense that it gets tougher for pros who’ve already spent a few years in the league after that… Coaching staffs start focusing developmental resources on other players who are on the steeper slopes of their learning curves, and usually the older guys have already identified their most glaring weaknesses and made at least a few attempts to correct them.

    I suspect the ‘second year leap’ that lots of sports writers talk about is real, but I don’t have any statistics to back that up.

    One of the guys that I suspect is going to be making a leap this year (that will probably get him closer to his potential) is JDub… He’s looked way more assertive and stronger in his preseason games for the Thunder.

    Probably Cade Cunningham, unless he becomes a bust
