As always, it all starts with health...particularly Rose. Beyond that, all the young guys such as Doug, Snell, and Niko have to raise their game to where they're consistent and pivotal contributors. We need Rose and Butler, and probably Pau to play at an all-star level. I don't think Niko reaches that this year, but I think he'll have a very good season. It will also be interesting to see how Rose and Butler play together. Will Jimmy handle the ball more while Rose plays more off ball? Will Derrick improve his shot selection and incorporate more of his mid-range game which is a strength? Can he get back to dishing out 7-8 APG? I'm curious how much more aggressive, if any, that Jimmy will be.
