The NBA.com: What is your team’s takeaway from last season and the Game 7 loss to Cleveland in the first round?

Mosley: That experience in the playoffs was a big piece for us. Guys understanding what that felt like and what it takes. The atmosphere, the energy. Then us getting KCP [Kentavious Caldwell-Pope], signing Cory Joseph [as veteran free agents]. The work that Paolo [Banchero] has put in this summer is on a different level. I believe that what Franz and Mo [Wagner] did in the Olympics, their ability to play at that level is going to help out.

That’s how teams get better. Your young guys work to get better over the summer and then you add a piece of experience.

This team is constructed very well. Internal growth is all that's needed. 

Look at the jump Suggs made last year. 3 or 4 guys on this team could do that this year.

I expect Paolo and Franz to stay on track to All-Star status. Obviously Paolo already made it but Franz is next. 

Suggs has the pedigree to take one more step to get there, but he doesn't have to be an All-star. Just grow, be the heart of the team.

Wendall and Cole could be better simply because i believe they are better then they played last year.

And if Black or Jett pop, look out. Add Tristan and Goga into the mix if they look better then we expect it's just icing on the cake.

Future is bright in OTOWN!

Wouldn't it be a stick in any team's spokes if out of the blue we started JI at center in some games?
Suggs-KCP-Franz-Paolo-JI wow!

I mean, yes you used the word start but i'm pretty sure we saw this line-up a few times last year.

We definitely never saw a KCP lineup last year.

No, but we saw lineups with JI as starting center, I think in the playoffs against Cleveland, if I recall correctly.  I also seem to recall that starting JI as center was mostly a disappointment.
