What do you think will be our biggest improvement this year vs. last season? Here is my top 5:
1) Parker's health throughout the year- fully recovered from plantar fasciitis, I see no reason why he can't regain his form from 2 years ago when he was the Spurs MVP. This alone should allow us to win an extra few more games.
2) Greater integration of McDyess, Blair and Jefferson (assuming he comes back) into the team. As has been noted frequently, players make vast improvements after a year in the Spurs system. Additionally with Blair, I think he'll improve tremendously this year with much greater playing time. He showed some great flashes last year, esp. that last Dallas game.
3) More confident George Hill- the playoffs and the stretch run last year will make him much more assertive on offense this year and better serve as Parker's back-up.
4) Splitter- he will have much more of an impact in the 2nd half and hopefully the playoff run. His defense and ability to give more Duncan rest I think will be his key contributions.
5) Better 3 pt shooting- Anderson>Mason, Manu in better form, Bonner being more healthy, Jefferson can't shoot worst than last year. We do need another proven shooter to complement the current guys.
