ESPN published an article earlier this week naming twelve bounce back candidates for the 2016-17 season and two New Orleans Pelicans made the list: Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones.
There were several criteria used that included players be in at least their fourth year in the NBA and their WARP’s had finished at least 3 wins below last season’s SHOENE projection. (See the following link for more on Kevin Pelton’s SCHOENE system.)
Like with the Carmelo predictions released last month, SHOENE projects Davis to have the biggest comeback this upcoming season provided the usual disclaimer is met — as long as he stays healthy.
