Should be a fun year

I was totally against Ball as my perception was that he was a diva. Now that I’ve seen him interviewed a couple of times, he comes across really well. I’m actually impressed by his demeanor and he seems really happy to be here.
 

I though we spent way to much on Hayward, but man does he fill a void as a shooter and a leader for the young guys with his work ethic and preparation. I like the Biz deal (I’m assuming we didn’t give him that much) for his contagious energy and work ethic.

So I’ve done a 180 and I’m really excited about this season. We should be really fun to watch, and we should win a fair share of games. 

So when does the season actually start? I thought it was 12/22 but I have yet to see our schedule.

Season starts December 22. This year the 7/8 seeds will play each other to see who gets in the Playoffs as the 7th seed. The loser of that will play the winner of the 9/10 seeds to see who gets the 8th seed. Should be fun. We have improved on paper and the unis are sweet. We’ll see how it plays on the court. I’m just a bit confused. Letting Kemba walk but signing Hayward a season later. This season should be fun with some teams being vastly improved too. Atlanta should be pretty good if they can get Bogdan. 

Hayward, if healthy, is a much more valuable player to this team. Health is my biggest concern with him but the fit really is perfect otherwise.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
