Teams expect breakout seasons from young players
The Heat are eyeing a breakout role for Ryan Conwell as a shooting-ready complement after trading him to Miami, while the Timberwolves expect Jaden McDaniels to expand his offensive impact alongside Anthony Edwards. Dallas projects Morez Johnson Jr. to provide energy, rebounding and defense as a complementary piece alongside Kyrie Irving, and Brooklyn is watching Egor Demin (with rookie Mikel Brown Jr.) to become a bigger contributor after strong Summer League showings.
