look for him to be more of an locker room precents than on the court precents. Juwan is washed up.

Good sign,but that doesn’t bode well for Ostertag’s comeback, haha

[thetruthParticipant]

will provide not only a good locker room presence with experience but also another body who can come in score and help out if needed.

power forward is still a question mark. im not sure if him or Pendergrapg will get more minutes. yeah he does bring a good presence in the locker room.

Pendergraph had surgery, I don’t know how long he’ll be out, but Howard should get minutes early in the season for sure.
