So I like that we added Curry and possibly Gibson to help with shot making and spacing.

Like others have said the versatility is something that is prolly most exciting. The Roster looks like it can play small and not be crippled by defense+shooting like last year. It also doesn't *have* to play small like the roster last year seemed to need to do. It took a while for Simba to crack the regular rotation, CV3 was a mess, Powell fell out of favor, Parsons was hurt, Evans was too big of a liability in other areas to even set foot on the floor, McGee was.... well.... McGee. Our best 3 bench players were basically all small guards and aside from JJ none of them shot the ball great, and we sacrificed defense and rebounding to have lineups with 3 of the 4 on the court at once not to mention they all took turns being injured which was basically the only time Simba would see the floor.

All of those reasons contributed to Wes playing more than double the time he has ever played at the 3 last year. Which I think he can play the 3 fine in the right situations but coming off an injury and being surrounded with guys like Felton at the 2, JJ at the 1, Parsons at the 4, and Zaza at the 5... that's pretty gross defensively. I don't think we will have that same problem this year and that's exciting.

BRAVO SIR! Very well stated!
