Exceeding is Camara, didn't think much of his inclusion to the trade, thought he'd barely play and now he's starting and closing games efficiently.

Something to prove, most would put Ayton for narrative's sake, but I don't think he fits. He's played well for the most part, we just don't have anyone healthy to get him the ball especially on mismatches for some reason. Instead I'd controversially out Sharpe. Sure he's just a sophomore, but he's shown he has amazing shot making abilities, he's scoring well, but now he has to tighten up his efficiency and prove he's THE building block of the future (similar but not identical to Cade)

Disappointing, Grant. Grant iso is my least favorite thing in basketball, he's inefficient, still not rebounding great as someone who should get the 2nd most on the team rn, and just overall has not had as much of an impact on the games as I expected. Somehow Camara, Walker, and Tisse feel more like the on court leader than our current face of the franchise vet. By all accounts he's great bts, but on the court I just don't feel he's doing what anyone expected of him this season
