It’s one of the many Tom Thibodeau mantras, a Thibsism, repeated just Thursday at training camp: “You’re not a finished product.”
Some — like Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and Immanuel Quickley — made significant jumps. Especially when the players in the rotation are exclusively under 29 years old.
The Post, along with the help of an advanced scout and longtime talent evaluator, looks at all nine rotational players and answers an important question for each: what should be a realistic personal goal for each this season?Just look at the numbers. Barrett averaged 34 minutes last season with just 0.2 blocks and 0.4 steals. That’s tough to swallow from a player who had aspirations of making an All-Defense team. These have to improve if Barrett. Plus, it’ll help his offense.
Others were contested and ill-advised. If Randle cuts down on the bad shots, he can raise that 3-point percentage from 34 to something closer to 40. He seems to agree. At training camp, Randle declared his efficiency “will be a lot better this year” while citing the significance of shot selection. The easy answer is to improve upon his defense since Brunson was last in defensive rating on the team. But much of that is unsolvable with Brunson’s lack of height and athleticism.
