Great thought! Would love to see this as well!  |

The learning curve will be interesting to follow. The Hawks won I think 38 games in Budenholzer's first season (more vets on their roster), 60 in the second. I think we'll see a marked improvement over 17 wins, but still, my expectations aren't particularly high year 1.
This is actually a very interesting experiment. I don't think a system like this has ever been installed on such a young roster. The young guys will "grow up" in this system and ultimately become markedly different players than they otherwise would have become. |

Very well said. I don't have terribly high expectations either, with the caveat that we have so much cap space that the talent level on this team isn't yet decided. But yeah, "growing up" in this system is going to be tremendously beneficial for these guys. Even guys who played under Byron for 2 years like JC & Randle (sort of) probably haven't crystalized any habits. |

We've seen individual players grow up in the established Spurs system, and there certainly seem to be benefits. Their young clay tends to develop much better than that of most teams. Obvious example is Leonard. I highly doubt Leonard would have developed into a top 5 player had he been drafted to most other teams. Playing in a legit system while you're still learning the game probably results in a smarter (better) player longterm.
This is a unique situation because the system isn't yet established. You've got a bunch of young players and a young coach trying to figure things out on the fly. The crazy thing is all of these guys will start to hit their individual primes around the same time, 3-4 years or so from now. And that's exactly when we'd expect the system/chemistry to start to resemble its finished product. |
