Sir
BrunsonB+All Star
KATB+All Star
HartBundersized triple double king of NYK
BridgesB-a little passive, but whenever anyone goes down he steps up
OGBalmost a B+ making All Star would’ve gotten him there
DeuceB-
MitchBMitch late season comeback made me remember what we were missing from Mitch 
ShametC-if Shamet played like he did the final few games they would’ve gotten a far better grade
PayneC-
AchiuwaC-
RookiesCwould’ve gotten a better grade if they had more playing time, but unfortunately Kolek and Hulk the two young stars of the future were held in check by our HC as he limited their development by having them ride the pine for far too long during the season, didn’t see enough Daddiet, McCullar, Toppin, etc … the late addition vets did what bench vets were supposed to do, I think their value might show up during the post season
ThibsC and the “C” isn’t for coaching, IMO his lack of in game fundamentals, coaching 101 was very lacking, his stubbornness, his love for certain players and his over usage of said players made his grade nosedive, if not for the 51 wins, he’s in “F” (Fired) territory .. IMO his final grade will be all about what he does during the post season
TeamBunfinished product, lacking a good three point defense, too many blown leads, too easily pushed around and injured, offensively they need to be a lot more consistent from behind the three point line
Hannibal
Jalen BrunsonA-responsible for a ton of heavy lifting on offense. All Star. All NBA.
Mikal BridgesBpoint of attack defense and spot up 3point shooting could have been a lot better. Very passive offensively at times.
Karl-Anthony TownsA-responsible for a ton of heavy lifting on offense. All Star. All NBA.
Josh HartB+Best season of his career. Wasn’t locked in at times
OG AnunobyB+Best season of his career. Bad stretch of offense midseason that he shook off. Great on defense all season.
Deuce McBrideC+ Inconsistent shooting, hurt too often, size issues on defense
Landry ShametBRelative to his career, he had a good season
Cam PayneB-Inconsistent shooting. Took way too many bad shots. Considered giving him a C+.
Precious AchiuwaC-Way more bad than good
Mitchell RobinsonB+Impacted the game while working is way into shape
Delon WrightACouldn’t ask for more from a guy that barely played. 4-1 as a starter.
Tyler KolekB-Can’t expect much from a rookie. Has work to do. Needs to hit the gym.
Pacome DadietC+Rookie. Needs to play with more aggression. Needs an attitude adjustment.
ThibsBGreat stretches during the season but the team got bogged down at times and didn’t do enough to get them out of it. Could have done a better job managing minutes sooner.
