Dime Magazine: 5 Players Who'll Struggle With Their New Team


Recommended Posts

1. Kyle Lowry

2. Ryan Anderson

3. Brandon Roy

4. OJ Mayo

5. Andre Iguodala

 

Reasoning can be found at:

I can agree with Anderson and Roy (although that would be more due to injuries than playing on a new team in my opinion) and can understand the thought process behind Mayo even if I don't agree, but I just don't see why Lowry or Iguodala should be on this list.

 

What are your thoughts on this list?

 

Also, if you were to make a list of 5 of your own, who would you have on it?

I doubt Iggy would have too big of a trouble considering he's a great player who'll play under a great coach. Coach Karl will find a place for him. The article says that his skillset is redundant, but his athleticism fits in perfectly in what will be a very athletic and intimidating starting 5.

 

One player that should be obvious is Jeremy Lin. He loses a lot of weapons going from Knicks to Rockets, and while those turnovers will remain high, the assists will decrease.
