Bottom line now that Grimes adds defense and a very nice three pointer to use we need to focus on adding a more offensive player. I expect an improved offensive performance as we see a lot more Hardy and Lively as well with his evolving 3 pointer being encouraged and as PJ should improve I expect him to contribute more on offense as well. If PJ makes the move to improve his 3 pointer and Lively starts to add that element to his game we will have a 7'1 center to use in a five out strategy and a far more productive 3rd leading scorer who both should be 2 way talents. DJJ remains the sole area of concern and finding a guy who has the same defensive ability who can score more efficiently sepecially from 3 that is what everyone is looking for and drafting it is almost the only way to add it since free agents who can do it will often get overpaid more than we can offer. Still I am very happpy with the beginning of offseason.

Recap:

drafted Melvin a 6'7 SF/SG who can shoot the 3 well and possibly become a defensive contributor that we got him at all with our draft position is a miraqcle. So this kid out played the top pick in the draft when they both last played against each other. HMMM maybe we got something.

Got rid of THJ and added Quentin Grimes. To me we got a better player who is younger and has a lot of upside. Great Move!!!!

Summer League Signing of some 7'5" center makes me think they found a potential keeper who is a mutumbo wannabe
