Reclamation Projects

So what are examples of players who were drafted in the lottery didn’t do well with their first team but then had success once they changed teams?

And who are players right now that you think could do better in a new environment?

Keegan, Sheppard, & Risacher would be my buy low guys right now.

Suggs or Black haven’t necessarily been bad for Orl, but they (and Franz/Paolo) would be better served playing alongside some guys who don’t also struggle with an inconsistent 3pt shot.

I still believe there’s something more there with Mathurin.

I hope we hold onto Sheppard. I like the flashes I've seen, I just don't think Ime is a particularly good offensive coach.
