      RJ needs to add some off the dribble game, right now he's only a straight line drive and catch and shoot player.



      They also need more shooters and a big or wing that can guard up and space the floor. I don't know if Obi will develop into that but a large part of the reason Atlanta has bottled up Julius is because they don't have to worry about Taj or Noel.



      I talked about this a few weeks ago for RJ's game to go to the next level. He needs to get his floater game going. And if he can get that and get to the free throw line more his entire game will turn around. I think it can happen.

            Small sample but that blown lead supports my hypothesis that Harden is the Nets best player.

                  This isn't a strong PG class in Free Agency. Unless you go older with Conley or Lowry, not that many starters.

                  In general, it's a weak Free Agent class. If there is a strength, it's SG. But, you can always find shooters and stretch bigs

                        Lonzo Ball would be my top choice in this year's class.

                          I was going to say him. But, I think he is a RFA still. Unless you over pay, I would think they match it. I think they would have traded him before getting nothing in return by letting him walk.

                          I do think he can be a starter though. If he can continue to be a 38+% 3pt shooter and be more aggressive at times, he's a guy who can be a starting PG on a very good team

                            Getting crushed on the glass and Tatum is playing like Tatum, which I expected he would at some point this series.

                            Surprised DJ hasn’t gotten a call up tonight though. I know they’re not worried about him being exposed on Defense because they’re already doing that to Blake smh
