But of a mixed bag. Love Jordi and the fight they displayed throughout. Could’ve used a few more Ls, but I’ll trade it for dev reps/culture. Wish I saw more from Clowney, Dariq, Wilson, Claxton. Encouraged by others though.

I think Cam Thomas is an asset (though not a building block), and his extension value probably cratered. Sharpe is worth an extension as well. Remains to be seen what advantages they get from prioritizing cap space (though I’m optimistic)
Im also disappointed the performance wasn’t there for some guys, but I think that’s good data to make decisions on. Clax stunk and would be more valuable to another team. Cam Johnson is really good and has value etc. Just because most of the results are bad doesn’t mean it doesn’t clarify things.
Overall I think I feel better about where they are rebuild wise than I did before the year started. I also just loved the parade of point forwards we brought through.
And as a UConn fan that lapsed a bit during the late-Ollie/early Hurley era, if you’d told me I’d watch multiple games of Tyrese Martin as an NBA teams primary creator I would’ve thought you were insane. Love that he played himself into a deal
Yeah, the improvements have been on the less talented players, which is a bit rough. You can see the path to competing though. Just need the talent. I believe it’ll come, and I think Marks does too.
I get the handwringing over the lottery odds. I just think I was so resigned to them getting the 5th pick or worse regardless that I’m a little numb to it. (Favors instead of Wall and all that). Overall though they were a fun watch, which is a huge upgrade b last year
