Thats Sam Mitchell and who?

 

[zeke]

I'm legit pumped to watch them this year without Kawhi.

People are still sleeping on all of Lowry, Siakam, Gasol, and Fred.

I also really like our draft picks this year.

Terence Davis wmimpressing this morning.

He's my sleeper pick for best addition to the roster this year.

Zeke, iyo, how good is Nurse?

He's.....perfect?

Everything I've ever wanted in a coach. Smart, confident, humble, innovated, loved AND respected by the players.

Perfect.

Thank goodness Budenholzer chose Milwaukee.

Thank goodness Budenholzer chose Milwaukee.

I still find it hilarious how rattled that guy was in the middle of a conference championship series because of Drake.

Babcock is our Dwayne Casey.

Lol.

But no. I'd take this leafs roster with a new coach and see how it goes before I make any other moves.

 

[leaffan2005]

Pascal is a stud.

Just needs better lift on those mid-range jumpers (regularly drops it short) and he becomes legit unstoppable. The 3-point show has gone way up, his post moves have just become more ridiculous, and he continues to make strides as a facilitator and point-forward. Defensively he also has room to grow but with his motor and athleticism he will become an elite defender in no time as well.

Stud, and legit top-line option on a contending team. Of course nobody in the American media will ever bring it up.

 

[LeafGm]

Has anyone ever won “most improved player” two years in a row?

 

[MindzEye]

Has anyone ever won “most improved player” two years in a row?

No

Better question...

Has anyone ever won MIP and MVP in the same year? Also no.
