I actually voted Kieff. Was between him or PJ.

I see a defensive presence helping out PJ where he can be a little fresher with his legs. I think he exerts so much energy on D and banging for rebounds that his shot takes a hit for it. I'm not sure he'll be a full time starter though.

Kieff just has an opening to score more now with TC drawing more attention this year, especially on pick and rolls with our guards.

I wanted to vote TJ as well but I don't think he'll get as many minutes early on.

I picked Knight but mainly because he showed us very little last season. I expect he'll put up numbers similar to what he did for Milwaukee before the trade. He'll also make Bledsoe better by taking the ball out of his hands and facilitating the offense more. Bledsoe alone in the 2nd half of the season was trying to do much on his own. He was too accustomed to playing with another ball handling guard with IT & Goran earlier in the year and Dragic for the season before. He also played some minutes with Paul in LA before coming here.

Couldn't decide between BK and TJ. I went with BK because he will be starting and he hasn't given us much yet. However, with Marcus gone, I think TJ is going to get some real burn.
