Most improved Spur next year from last NBA season.

Who you got? Humans only, please.

Damn quite a few guys in the running purely on base effects.

Zollins probably has a long leash given how weak we are upfront and I don’t think could get anyone worse.

I’m rooting for Wesley as he has such an intriguing skill set you can’t teach with the defensive tenacity, length and quickness plus he be appeared to begin to turn a corner towards the end of last year but I think he will struggle to get minutes and is probably out the door in the next year.

Keldon is a finished product at this point; I’m skeptical slimming down will improve his game in any facet.

Tough for Dev to improve much after a solid offensive year unless he starts playing defence. His touches are about to drop I suspect.

Sochan is coming off a year he digressed but he was put in a difficult position. I think this year with a more defined role he will appear to be most improved.

Branham/Champ aren’t going to see much if anytime I suspect.

Voted for Sochan almost by default. Part of it is what I hope happens, the other part is that it's hard to imagine him not improving considering how bad he looked at times last year.

[gambit1990]

you'd think it'd be sochan but i voted for keldon.

cp3 will elevate everyone's game though.

I’m not sure that tracks. If they had no plans for him, they could have cut him, paid CP3 $12M, and paid Barnes his kicker. The fact that they didn’t do those things, going to both players with a 7 figure ask, says they have plans for Julian and he’s in the rotation.

I think he is cheap insurance but with a healthy squad I don’t see him getting more than 10 minutes a night. He is going to be battling Barnes, Keldon, Sochan and potentially Castle for time at the 3 on most nights.

The addition of two starters in CP3 and Barnes plus a lottery pick in Castle with no loss of any contributing players means Branham, Wesley, Champ and Mamu are likely deep bench guys seeing the floor sparingly.

Victor Wama.

He's that good but yet he will get even better.

Ya it's like appreciate the effort on the thread ex, but damn so many of these have soo much room to improve they can only get better.

Since anyone of our grandmas runing point would be an improvement over Popped Sochan and the Freeze Out Team, i think Vic will look even better.

[MultiTroll]

Voting on what is available, i voted Sochan.

Free (We hope!) from the influence of Coach Re and in his more natural position (we hope!) and responsibilities let's see what a season later Sochan can do.

I don't mind his gy hairdos and eccentric behavior IF IF IF he's going to bring same basketball passion that Ms. Rodman did.
You want to emulate fruitcake, go for it. Basketballwise.

He has braids currently.

Really hoping for a strong bounce back year from Keldon

It wasn’t an oversight. He was intentionally excluded because he’s the answer to many different polls.

Even last year, he had stopped with the multi colors, and just had a slight bleach. He’s got corn rows in current videos.

Jeremy moves back to his natural role and position. Gets to attack mismatches on offense and be more of a free safety / utility guy on defense.

I picked Sochan because I'm a Sochan believer and his play for Poland this summer appeared to be demonstrating new capacities. Settling back into his natural position, operating around an increasingly established Wemby, and with a team priority of winning should work wonders from his low point last season.

But I want to say I think people are going to be very impressed by Devin Vassell this season too. Not sure his volume will increase but the quality of his contributions will be elevated noticeably imho. His pics looked like he added some muscle this summer. I could see a lot of the original pre Wemby guys start to impress more as they are not stretched as thin. What happens when opponents have a few others to watch now and can't drown out Dev and KJ as much?

Devin’s 3 ball% should go up with him not having to create all of his shots.

I do agree on Devin. I think having CP3, Tre and Castle at all the PG minutes will mean a much more competent and coherent Spurs offense that naturally creates an easier time for him. And Barnes' spacing will help in that regard as well. It's not outside of the range of possibility that Devin shows he can be a legit #2 in this league this coming year. Personally I think he's likely still a #3, but it's definitely possible he flashes an even higher ceiling.

[Strategic]

Champ if only because he’s the size to be a versatile defender, if he even plays D. Lots of choices of guys needing to improve.

[KobesAchilles]

I think rather than improvement of play, I want improvement in knowing their damn role. Vassell cannot be shooting as much as Wemby. Sorry Devin but you’re not that dude. Give me around 12 shot attempts a game rather than his 16. Learn how to play some actual ing defense too. Don’t zone out on your man, fight through screens, and communicate communicate communicate.

Sochan is an off ball player. All the idiots here clamoring about how he’s our secondary playmaker and should have the ball in his hands more and run plays need to STFU and get Sochan back to his role. He is a player who makes quick reads when he gets the ball. He either shoots, drives, or kicks. Back to basics for him offensively. He needs (and I mean needs) to hit open 3s at a high rate. I’m talking like 37% for him to justify him being on the court more than 30 minutes a game. Also he need to improve on finishing around the rim bc his turn around jumper is about the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen other than him trying to make a lay up in traffic.

KJ doesn’t need to improve much at all. He’s bench player. They are supposed to be flawed. He comes in with great hustle and high energy and just plays like the wild colt he is. I suppose if he could learn how to actually use his body in the post like Barkley that would be nice so he is usable in the half court setting. Also not driving into 4 people at once would be helpful too. But I’m not holding my breath

The rest shouldn’t even be on the team after next year. So who really gives a flip. All in all I vote KJ improving the most bc he’s the only one who is in year two of actually knowing his damn role. This will be Vassells first year of not shooting every time he gets the ball and he will struggle to be engaged without the ball in his hands and Sochan in year one of being PF again.

[Ni-G]

o everyone.
I am new here and it's my first post but I've been lurking around for a while.

I voted for Jeremy Sochan as he has had quite poor andmessed up with PG experiment season and has a lot to prove to haters, himself and PATFO. Now in organised game he should be able to finally play his best game and improve his percentages.
Also as a Pole myself I root for him and I hope for the best Jeremy possible in a contest of our national team which sucks to be fair

I think that Devin will improve as well a lot with less doubleteams but Jeremy starts from a lower level.

Didnt vote -

WEMBY - is the answer...

you guys STILL dont know what we have!

We all know EXACTLY what we have, and he was INTENTIONALLY omitted from the poll, and it was noted in the poll post, because he’s the default answer to almost any poll posted here, and that’s pretty boring.

[TekXX]

Should have included a none of the above option because that's what i've come to expect from this squad. I'm going to write-in Wemby.

[jjspur]

Overall a few players should improve considering we won't have backups playing as starters any more. Wemby will improve, that's a no brainer, but I voted for Keldon. Considering where he was drafted, he's already done pretty well if you compare the other spurs players drafted higher than him, but haven't done anywhere close to what he has already done. Only Wemby and Devin have justified their draft position, all the others haven't. Still waiting on Sochan. Castle should be interesting though.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Having Chris Paul And Tre Jones giving 48 minutes of competent PG play should elevate everyone tbh. Imagine running plays
