I think we'll win anywhere from 35-45 games. We'll only drop to or below 26 wins if they decide to sell off Knight and/or Bledsoe for rookies or picks, which is unlikely. I think Bledsoe is the player that both Sarver & McD prefer if they had to choose between Knight or Eric, even though Knight is younger. Bledsoe has shown more leadership qualities and is more of a PG than Brandon is. If we keep both though we'll probably finish 9th or 10th in the west with a pick between #10-14 in the lottery. We don't really need more lottery picks though, definitely not bad enough to full on tank. This draft is supposed to be deep but I haven't heard of any superstar like players like Wiggins or Simmons who are projected as #1 picks before the college season starts. We have good young prospects at every position now, Ulis at PG, Booker & Goodwin at SG, Warren at SF, Chriss & Bender at PF, and Len at C. All of them except Goodwin has the potential to be solid starters. Booker, Warren, and Len have shown that they're at least capable rotation players if nothing else. Out of those 7 guys not one of them will turn 24 until next offseason. That is a young core for the future to grow together. Hopefully Sarver shows patience building this team. I think Watson is a good coach who will get the most out of everyone also. I wish we had a solid big man coach for Bender, Chriss, and Len but having Chandler as a mentor is better than nothing. I think he's helped Len already and he's a good locker room guy also. We need someone to help with Chriss & Bender's development as PF's though.
