Can you guys imagine if Russell scores like 40 in the 1st preseason game? And Ingram has a 20/10/4 game... |

Russell will have a 50 point game this season. |

I hope so.
He had a 39 point game in a bad situation, so thinking he can score 50 points in a good situation isn't far fetch. |

Yeah, I wouldn't expect him to score 50, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he does given his ability to score from anywhere from halfcourt in and the fact he'll have the ball in his hands more than anyone. |

I might be alone in this, but one of the biggest things I'm interested in seeing is how Clarkson's newly added bulk will impact his game, on both ends. He's already a ferocious attacker, so the fact that he's bulked up is something that could take his attack game to another level.
I'm also interested in seeing how often Luke wants to take DLO off the ball and put him in the post. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

Same. JC has always avoided contact at the rim. I'm hoping his bulk will help give him renewed confidence to attack and play through contact rather than try to avoid it. |

The system Luke is trying to install is the perfect offense for Russell, I'm with you, I won't be surprised if he scores 50 or has multiple 40 point games. |

So far in their early careers, D'ice has been the only one out of the young core to demonstrate he can put up a 50 ball or at least close to it. Been itching for this season to start for a minute. Excitement levels are on the up and up. _________________ Music is my medicine |

Yep, although his floaters are pretty nice as well. I think there's a degree of wisdom behind using floaters. You aren't putting your body in harm's way, which minimizes injury risks. DLO used floaters pretty well in SL and has said he's worked on it during the offseason. I think that's a good thing. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.
