This team is still lacking consistent shooters

With all the new faces plus the uncertainty at the "3", I don't understand why many posters believe players can expect more consistent minutes or predictable roles. If anything, Pop has serious justification for going all mad scientist.

Mills, Belinelli and Bertans, will likely play relatively significant minutes, but I don't see it with Forbes. He's likely behind White, who's already probably going to get somewhat squeezed (not really because he'll likely play relatively significant minutes when any non C isn't available and that's a common occurrence leaguewide).

Now that they're essentially forced to give Bertans a consistent role, I think he can and will be markedly better.

I think Bertans has much better potential than what we saw last year. He never really saw consistent minutes and nobody on last year's team (especially off the bench) knew who they were going to be playing with on any given night). With more consistent and predictable rotations and playing time Bertans should see a marked improvement. (i.e. Manu was 25 when he came in to the NBA). He made his style fit today's NBA and Bertan's style is what the whole NBA is trying to go for. Too bad he is missing a finger and has TRex arms.

Davis has basically been the same player for the two seasons I have already watched him, but he's definitely going to play rotation minutes this time and I think Pop will go into the season planning from the get-go to have him in the rotation, with perhaps plays for him being integrated into their offense which will allow him to blossom hopefully.
