I am going to go through the new team vs the old team and give a percent on how much I think we have gotten better. For example a 100% increase would mean double the production
FVV vs KPJ: Even without KPJ being a prick, this is arguably our second biggest upgrade for this season. An actual PG who tries on defense is unheard of. I will say maybe 75%
3rd year JG vs 2nd year JG: It is no secret that Jalen hasn't been efficient in his career so far but this year I think that changes. Having a real PG should significantly increase his efficiency, but I don't expect that much of a PPG increase, maybe 23-24 PPG, but a big jump in playmaking, efficiency and defence. I'll go with 50% increase
Dillon B vs KMJ: People who think DB was a bad signing are casuals. Overpaid? Maybe but he is everything we need. KMJ could legit do one singular thing; dunk. I like KMJ but he cant be starting regularly to make the playoffs. DB is an all-nba defender and his downsides I expect Ime to get control of. This is a huge upgrade and I'd say about a 60% increase
2nd year JSJ vs 1st year JSJ: This is when we see the real JSJ, the touted no.1 pick JSJ. His confidence is up, hes hitting his shots, this man is about to prove everyone wrong. 70%
3rd year ALP vs 2nd year ALP: This is probably the smallest jump from our starters, but still a significant one. I think he will become more confident from three and better defensively, while still doing his usual ALP things. 30% increase
Amen vs Nix/TyTy: I forgot how bad our backup PG was last year. Our rookie is going to be sm better immediately even being raw. I don't even need to explain, 100%
Whitmore vs EG: This is our only downgrade this season, while I do believe in Cam, he will not be more productive than EG. I would say -50% but EG didnt play full season so I'll say -30%
Tate vs Tate: I mean, basically the same player so I'll just assume he will progress slightly so I'll say 5%
2nd year Tari vs 1st year Tari: Obvious progression for the GOAT but I don't think it will as much as the other young guys, 25%
Jock vs Usman: A decent addition and more than likely better than Usman was, 35%
Ime vs Silas: This is the most impactful addition to our team by far. I am including all of the background staff and team direction. Going from arguably the worst coach oat to a coach thats never missed the playoffs is huge. The fact that we are not actively tanking is such a huge swing in wins its unbelievable. I am going to say 400%
If you are keeping count, on average that is a 73% increase which would turn our 22 wins into 38 wins
I feel as if that if the west wasnt as strong we would a perrenial playoff team
TL;DR: We will get better at an average of 73% turning our 22 wins into 38.
i would argue JSJ's summer league has somewhat carried over, he has been great this year as the 4th option, 15 ppg on good efficiency with good rebounding and defense
