Gordon, and it's not close for me. He should be a great fit in Gentry's system, plus contract year.

Seems the consensus for most NBA writers is Jrue

Gordon will get open looks from 3, Jrue hopefully will just benefit from being healthy.

Jrue assuming health

My guess would be Jrue, assuming he can stay healthy. He's already an excellent defender and capable scorer, but having a coach that will implement a higher pace offense will give him a lot more opportunities to make plays, whether it's scoring or assisting.

Outside of Jrue, I'd say Ryan Anderson would be next. Gentry was able to morph Channing Frye into an excellent three point shooter, and he doesn't have half of the talent that Anderson does. My guess is that Ryno has a handful more of open looks from three and a green light every time he's there. You might have a couple of misses early in the shot clock resulting in more wasted possessions, but overall they should have way more possessions than previously.

it's jrue and it seriously is not close. jrue has all the talent to be a 20/10//5 point guard with good shooting numbers

he's been trained to be a passive, set-up guy who holds the ball and waits too long. he has not been coached well on efficient, aggressive offense by either team that he's been on so far in his career.

gentry is the first offensive-minded guy and gentry will demand more aggressiveness. if jrue listens, he's fiddin blow up
