8th place

Absolute nosedive. Without Zion and BI it seems like this team is just gonna be play-in caliber at best. From the looks of it we arent even play-in caliber with what we are running out currently.

Truthfully if we were treading water I would say why are you surprised? Last years run was a ton of fun but we were still what, 17-17 including the regular season, play-in, and first round? It's not like we were some fabulous team. So minus Zion I would not expect to continue the run we were on earlier in the season.

With all that said, there's zero excuse for the losing streak we're currently on. Schedule isn't getting any easier either, unfortunately.

A lot of truth here. This team has some serious player decisions to make this offseason. I keep telling myself that when we can get everyone back healthy, but we haven't be able to do that all year long. So nothing is pointing to that being able to happen and more so sustaining it until the playoffs, unless we hit a serious lucky streak of players staying healthy.

Adding Dyson and getting Zion back were great improvements this past year. We also got EJ who everyone seems to think is a first round talent who could be a great cost controlled role player.

Next year we need to add another piece. I think everyone is thinking shooting or athletic big, what would be awesome is an athletic big with a decent 3 ball.. We have the defensive guys, stop drafting guys that can't shoot. Usually teams are only running one true defensive specialist that can't shoot if they have any at all.

CJ, Dyson, BI, Zion, Athletic big that can shoot would be phenomenal. Maybe TMIII will grow 2 more inches and put on 15lbs of muscle or maybe Jaxson Hayes follows the yellow brick road to the Wizard??? I think our bench is fine as long as they are playing against the other teams bench.
