Big men are notorious for being slower to develop/adjust into the NBA game. I don't see JV's first year being much more than a steep learning curve. To me the real point of interest on the Raps this year is Lowry. A guy at the point who can actually play defense will be very interesting in a Casey led system. Casey already took them way up the ladder defensively and that without even the benefit of a training camp. Now he has a guy out front who won't just be a blow by machine.
I can see them being in a lot of games thanks to a very good defense. Offensively I don't see how they have enough to enable them to win more than around 35 but they should be pretty entertaining if you like watching some good defense.
