     Luke Kennard – needs to add weight, improve his lateral quickness and work on his defence. His shooting is already very good and his passing is OK. He’d also benefit from working on his playmaking skills, which he showed flashes of late in the season.

     Original post was too late to edit, but it’s Zach Collins; not John.

     Honestly some of these players just need to keep getting better at the things they are good at.

    1. Markelle Fultz -Play NBA games, learn to play off the ball since he’ll be playing with Simmons.

     2. Lonzo Ball – Compete and know how to move without the ball in the half court.

     3. Jayson Tatum – Defense? He’s a very complete offensive player so there isn’t much to say here but I’d like to see him grasp the moment and truly become the #1 option even when Kyrie comes back.

    4. Josh Jackson -Shooting, playmaking, IQ.

    5. De’Aaron Fox – Get stronger, outlet passing, converting around the rim more.

    6. Jonathan Isaac – Flip burger.

    7. Lauri Markkanen – Become Dirk 2.0, make that turn around jumper from mid range, get a hair cut.

    8. Frank Ntilikina – Become a sponge and stay close to Coach Fiz.

    9. Dennis Smith Jr. – Dominate, work the P&R game with a mobile big since Dirk can barely move.

    10 Zach Collins – Weight room, film study, bust your @$$ in Summer leauge.
    11. Malik Monk- Work out with Kemba so they can be a 1-2 punch in the backcourt like a low rent Wall and Beal, become a playbook nerd under new coach Jame Borrego.

    12. Luke Kennard – Moving without the ball, take advantage of being left handed.

    13. Donovan Mitchell – Stay gangsta.

    14. Bam Adebayo- Tell Pat Riley to trade Hassan Whiteside, he actually has a very good midrange but has been timid to show it off (UK people know what I’m talking about)

      What? A UK big man who Coach Cal wouldn’t let do everything he’s capable of doing? I don’t believe that

    Tatum- Getting stronger, better ball security on drives, and finishing better at the rim.
