If the roster as it currently stands is the same when the season ends with everyone playing throughout the season, I don't think we'd have a top 5 worse record.

If Prince continues where he left off last season, John Collins SL improvement translates, Ded doing Ded things, Baze retains his consistency from this past year, Dennis gets his head out of his arse on defense (the 3 ball will be hit or miss) - it's not a bad starting unit.

The bench and coaching will be the unknown - new first time head coach and a bench of young players.

Now you are talking competing for the 8th seed!  I don't think we will play much different than we did last year schematically.  Our bench has plenty of vet on it like Muscala, Plumlee, Dorsey, Lin and Bembry so they should be fine.

When I say bottom 5, I'm talking East amd West teams though.

Playoff locks: Toronto, Boston, Milwaukee, Philly, Indy, Miami, Wizards.

Legitimately fighting for 8th:  Detroit, Hornets and Cavs (I hope).
