If memory serves, both Kenny and JWill were out with minor issues last year. Rylan is right, this is Oes's time and he can either jump on board or risk missing the bus altogether. Life is short and a NBA career even shorter. Potential will only get you an opportunity, but at the end of the day it is up to Oes to grab that opportunity and hold on tight.
Ozu problems appear to be on the defensive end and willing to play like a dog. Too passive. He is still very young and a great shooter. He may not fit in our style but shooters are wanted.
I went through the schedule too and got 58 wins. I’d bet on it.
OKC trade a 1st round pick and cash for Portland's Robert Williams.
As an ex AAU coach I always went into competitions with no expectations, and i would always tell my team that too, it help them relax and have fun. We won a lot of comps and they always said it's fun to win, and when we have fun, we win.
