T.J. Warren
Last season Warren was a regular starter who averaged over 20 points. This year he could very well come off the bench behind Trevor Ariza and Josh Jackson, and Mikal Bridges is sure to bite into his playing time too. Warren could play less than he has in a long time. Would he be content in a decreased role to help the team?
Dragan Bender
Bender has constantly been compared to Marquese Chriss because of where and when they were drafted, and both have (unfairly?) had the bust label thrown their way very early on in their careers. Well, Chriss just got traded, meaning Bender probably doesn’t have much time left to prove his value. What has he worked on this summer, where does he see himself in the rotation, and is he a better player than we’ve seen thus far?
Ryan Anderson
Anderson came over in the Brandon Knight trade. He’s a reliable stretch four, but he ended up buried on Houston’s bench in the playoffs. There seemed to be a falling out in Houston, so we’d like to hear what happened there. What can he bring to such a young team? Has he talked to also-former-Rocket Trevor Ariza? And would he be upset if he were asked to come off the bench?
