A few observations early on:
-Lowry looks to be in fantastic shape... He's clearly 100% healthy now.
-Derozan's handles have noticeably improved. You can see all of his hard work with that dribbling coach during the summer paying off (
)
-Johnson and LouWill appear to be meshing in well with the offense. Very excited to see how these two progress this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see JJ start over Ross by mid-year... Lou's shots aren't dropping now but he's getting some good looks. Knee appears to be healthy.
-Patterson looks fantastic. I don't think he's anywhere near his ceiling yet. Perfect stretch 4.
-Defense needs some work but the offensive sets have looked really good. They look to be in mid-season form already. Great chemistry. This is clearly the deepest/best team that the Raps have ever put out there.
