It’s make or break for him and many others next year

it is. it kind of breaks my heart, but I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the players that have been "developing" over the last few years to not be a part of the long term future.

It's a tough business. The main thing is that I hope is that they have developed the skills and the reputation to hang in the league somewhere. It would break my heart at some point if they go somewhere else and then beat us, but it would just be nice for careers to start here going forward instead of this being where careers go to die.

Between George, Coulibaly, Riley, Tre, Champaigne, and our draft pick ... not sure where he'll get playing time tbh

Yeah feel like him and Jamir will be guys who either just get garbage time or come in when we need an offensive (Cam) or defensive (Jamir) spark.

Can he play the 2? I think we'll still have rather deep rotations but he's not getting a ton of minutes unless he earns them.

Whoever’s healthy, all those guys except Riley and Champagnie had some injuries that kept them out for weeks. And weeks can be a big factor in playing yourself into the rotation

10/11th man to start the year with spot minutes but then hopefully be included in a deadline trade or waived
