Lubin was a really great get. Besides his numbers being very nice, you can see an athleticism and springiness that we don't have a ton of, or certainly didn't in our front court last season. I don't think he is a true 5, but he has enough size to play it, and he will cause a lot of the centers in the league a ton of issues due to his ability to move. He can definitely play either the 4 or 5, and if we needed to go really big could do so with Dort, Lubin and Smith playing the 3, 4 and 5 spots.

Should I be optimistic about next year?

Always best to temper expectations and enjoy positive outcomes if they come to pass.
