Trying to do the math of how we can bring KAT back, get Rudy on a paycut, bring back Naz & NAW, while retaining Ant, LaMelo, Jaden, Ayo, JK, Donte, Joan & Clark

Jaden lock in bro

Never forget that Ant Edwards was a struggling rookie under coach Ryan Saunders his first 31 games of his career. Chris Finch was hired mid season under controversy & both Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels got better as rookies and in Anthony Edwards case he took off & flew to the moon. Ant Edwards stats his first 31 games under Ryan Saunders: 28 minutes per game, 14ppg, 3rpg, 2apg on 37/31/79 splits, TS% 47. Ant Edwards stats in his next 41 games under Chris Finch in his rookie season: 35 minutes per game, 23 ppg, 5rpg, 3apg on 44/34/77 splits ts% 55 Now just imagine how good Jonathan Kuminga would be right now and where he would stand in this league today if Chris Finch got a hold of him as a rookie. For the love of a God look how he's transformed him after coaching him for just 9 games. Coaching matters. It always matters. Y'all think Steve Kerr was playing Anthony Edwards 35 minutes a game in year 1? Y'all think Anthony Edwards is where he is at today if Steve Kerr got him at 19??? Yea, how about HELL NO!!! "Jonathan Kuminga is just doing what Steve Kerr always wanted him to do" Yea right. Y'all so damn funny.

Ric Bucher still doesn’t believe LaMelo Ball & Jonathan Kuminga impact winning: “He is as inconsistent as he’s ever been & there appears to be no rhyme or reason to his game…he’s a whole circus wrapped up in one heavily tatted body” (via @RicBucher)

The Efficiency Landscape. What jumps out?
