It’s not the easiest of jobs. That would be fine if the franchise that has made the playoffs each of the previous ten seasons were overflowing with talent, instead of the current situation that is quite conducive to the dreaded”t” word.
Dennis Schroder is part of the mix, as well as recently acquired big man Dewayne Dedmon. However, who else? Kent Bazemore, Taurean Prince and Ersan Ilyasova?

Even the top pieces have question marks, since Schroder has not served as the unquestioned leader of a team, Dedmon has to play over 17.5 minutes per game and Bazemore is coming from a disappointing campaign.
