Going with randle because I think most fans are waiting to see if he improved anything over the summer.

Russell, I think has demonstrated something in summer league, Ingram gets a pass, and Clarkson has already proven to be the better currently

Lou Williams is the safe bet, other guys from everything I heard is that they are working hard and look focused for the season, nothing has been said much about Lou.

I'm going to go with Russell. He's getting a lot of hype this off season I just have a feeling that his defense will be below average

The only thing that might save us is coaching. If we have excellent coaching from Luke Walton than this team is something to look forward too

Nick Young. No question. He'll take the title 2 years in a row even if they do waive/stretch him

Clarkson, I think his defense will be so bad Luke will be forced to bench him during close games.

I'm not in agreement he will be. I just think he has the greatest chance of being the biggest bust.

Agreed, but I don't think most people are really expecting that much from him. All he has to be is not horrible and he hits the bar. It's weak position so he also has that going for him.

Welcome to the modern fan. If they're not actively complaining about something, they're planning the next complaint.

Well barring an injury (especially to Deng or Mosgov) I'd guess Black. I actually think everyone will do well this upcoming season, but I just don't think Black will see much playing time.

I can handle Mozgov, Deng, Lou, etc all sucking, if Ingram and Russell look like future studs. In the grand scheme of things, those two, and possible Zubac, are more important for the long term success of the franchise. Similar to how I was ok with a less than stellar free agency, as long as we got a top two pick.

I voted Tarik Black.

He's a great guy and all but some of you way over hype him. So for that I think he will be the biggest let down.

In terms of the "plan" and where they need to be tomorrow: DLo (franchise all-star player tomorrow? nope)

perceived improvement: Randle (he already avgs a double/double so c'mon)

Underachiever: Lou whom we just want to be who he was previously.
