Klay Thompson
  • Sun, May 19Recent News
    • Thompson finished up the regular season averaging 16.6 points per game on 42.2 percent shooting (40.1 percent from 3-point distance) in 82 games. During the postseason, Thompson averaged 15.2 points on 43.7 percent shooting from the field and 42.4 percent from 3-point range.
      Recommendation: Thompson's sophomore NBA season was a drop off from the promise hinted at during his rookie campaign. There were often nights when Thompson's shot was not falling, and he labored under 40 percent shooting for the first two months of the season. After scoring a pivotal 34 points in a Game 2 win over the Spurs, Thompson followed up the final four games of the series with 10.3 points per game on 34 percent shooting. That illustrates Thompson's season overall. Very spotty and inconsistent. He remains a threat from 3-point range on any given night, but he may lose some shots next season to the developing Harrison Barnes.

Carl Landry
  • Sun, May 19Recent News
    • Landry finished up the regular season averaging 10.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game in 81 games for the Warriors in 2012-13. He averaged 11.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game during the Warriors' playoff run.
      Recommendation: Landry will be mulling his player option for a second season with Golden State, though we don't see him getting the same level of playing time next year if all hands are healthy. He played a big role in 2012-13 due to Andrew Bogut's recovery from ankle surgery. But in the playoffs when David Lee (hip) was extremely limited, head coach Mark Jackson rolled with a three-guard lineup and Harrison Barnes at the four. Landry is a talented inside scorer and rebounder, but isn't a particularly tough defender and is not considered a must-have for Golden State.

Harrison Barnes
  • Sun, May 19Recent News
    • Barnes finished the regular season averaging 9.2 points in 25.4 minutes per game in 81 games played. Those averages increased dramatically during the playoffs, when he averaged 16.1 points in 38.4 minutes.
      Recommendation: Part of the increased usage in the playoffs was the result of an injury to David Lee in the first round win over Denver, but increased usage doesn't always dictate making a big impact on games. And that's exactly what Barnes did during the postseason. He's expected to take on more minutes next season, supplementing the Warriors' dynamic backcourt with scoring and the front court with rebounding.

Roy Hibbert
  • Sat, May 18
    • Hibbert scored 21 points (6-13 FG, 9-12 FT) to go with 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five blocks in 42 minutes of action in a Game 6 win against the Knicks.
      Recommendation: Hibbert has not hit double-digits over his last two games, and it is encouraging to see him get out of his slump. The Pacers will need him to take control in the post against the Heat.

Carmelo Anthony
  • Sat, May 18
    • Anthony scored 39 points (15-29 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT) but they were not enough to avoid a Game 6 elimination loss to the Pacers. He added seven rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes of action.
      Recommendation: Anthony had been scoring at a high rate all season long, but unfortunately it was not enough for the Knicks to advance. Expect Anthony to work extremely hard in the summer to get into better shape for another chance at title contention next season.

J.R. Smith
  • Sat, May 18
    • Smith was ice cold from the field in a Game 6 loss to the Pacers, going 4-for-15 for just 15 points in 35 minutes of action. He added 10 rebounds and 3 assists.
      Recommendation: Smith has seen his scoring efficiency drop in the postseason. He shot 42 percent from the field during the regular season, but just 33 percent in the playoffs. It was unfortunate that he was not able to find his stroke, as the Knicks needed someone other than Carmelo Anthony to step up in the scoring department.

Paul George
  • Sat, May 18
    • George put up 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, and one steal in a Game 6 win against the Knicks on Saturday.
      Recommendation: George has been playing excellently all season long, and numbers like these should no longer be a surprise to most people. His performance from the line Saturday (3-for-9) was likely a fluke, as he had been shooting 81 percent in the regular season.

D.J. Augustin
  • Sat, May 18
    • Augustin will start at point guard for Saturday's Game 6 against New York if George Hill is unable to pass the league's mandatory concussion test, the Indianapolis Star reports.
      Recommendation: The Pacers are not counting on having Hill available, but there's still time before tip off Saturday night. Augustin started in place of Hill in Game 5 and had 12 points, two rebounds and two steals. Incredibly, the point guard had no assists.

Raymond Felton
  • Sat, May 18
    • Felton scored just two points (0-7 FG, 2-2 FT) to go with three rebounds, six assists and one steal in a Game 6 elimination loss to the Pacers.
      Recommendation: Felton's disappearing act came at the wrong time for the Knicks, who had a fighting chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals this season. He had been playing rather consistently in the series against the Pacers, with the exception of Saturday's performance.

George Hill
  • Sat, May 18
    • Hill (concussion) was able to start in a Game 6 win against the Knicks. He scored 12 points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT) to go with five rebounds, four assists, and one blocks in 42 minutes of action.
      Recommendation: While Hill was struggling from the field all night long, it is encouraging to see him log 42 minutes despite recently recovering from his concussion. Look for him to continue to be at the helm of the Pacers offense.

Lance Stephenson
  • Sat, May 18
    • Stephenson had a career night in a Game 6 win against the Knicks, tallying 25 points (9-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal.
      Recommendation: Stephenson has been relatively quiet in the postseason, averaging just 8.4 points and 3.4 rebounds prior to Saturday's performance. His career night came at the right time, though, as the Pacers will now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Jarrett Jack
  • Fri, May 17
    • Jack, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, stated his desire to remain with Golden State, the San Jose Mercury News reports. He finished the regular season averaging 12.9 points in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from 3-point range.
      Recommendation: Jack's had better statistical seasons than he had in 2012-13, but there's no doubting his fit with this particular club. He was the second-leading scorer in the playoffs and was often the primary ball handler, moving Stephen Curry to shooting guard. Both sides would like to see Jack in a Golden State uniform next season, however, he's expected to generate some buzz in the market. And with the development of Harrison Barnes, the Warriors might not be interested in Jack getting the minutes he received this past season.

Chris Copeland
  • Fri, May 17
    • Copeland will "absolutely" play increased minutes going forward, according to Coach Mike Woodson.
      Recommendation: Copeland scarcely played in the Knicks' first round series against Boston and played a playoff-high 19 minutes in Thursday's Game 5 victory over the Pacers. The 29-year-old rookie scored 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3 Pt) and made some key hustle plays to spark a run in the second half. More time for Copeland will likely mean less for Jason Kidd and Amare Stoudemire.

Kirk Hinrich
  • Fri, May 17
    • Hinrich (calf) isn't expected to require surgery on his ailing calf, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
      Recommendation: Hinrich's injury is believed to be nothing more than a painful bruise rather than any sort of structural issue, so surgery appears off the table for now. With a full offseason to recover now that the Bulls have been eliminated from the playoffs, Hinrich should be fine for the start of training camp.

Kawhi Leonard
  • Fri, May 17
    • Leonard is currently being bothered by a knee injury, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
      Recommendation: Leonard should be able to play through the injury, as he scored in double digits in every game of the second round against the Warriors. There is only mild cause for concern here, barring a setback.

Andrew Bogut
  • Fri, May 17
    • Bogut said his ankle got sore during the playoffs and got worse during the series with San Antonio when there were fewer days between games, the San Jose Mercury News reports. He'll enter the final year of his contract in 2013-14.
      Recommendation: Bogut, who underwent ankle surgery back in April 2012, ramped up slowly upon his return to the court. There was a stretch of time when Bogut was healthy, giving the Warriors big minutes and making an impact on games, but the ankle has remained problematic. The hope is that with smart conditioning in the offseason, and more time removed from surgery, Bogut can regain his offensive game while impacting the defensive end of the floor more consistently and for longer stretches.

Kevin Garnett
  • Fri, May 17
    • Garnett will not require off-season surgery to correct his foot/ankle issues, the Boston Herald reports.
      Recommendation: Garnett dealt with a number of injuries last season and rarely played at 100 percent. The Celtics' medical staff believes rest will alleviate the veteran's issues, but only time will tell whether that will indeed be the case.

Kenyon Martin
  • Thu, May 16
    • Martin missed Wednesday's practice due to a sore right wrist, the New York Post reports.
      Recommendation: Martin, who is also dealing with the flu, was seen wearing some sort of wrap on the wrist after Tuesday's Game 4 against the Pacers. However, the wrap is considered "precautionary," as the injury is not considered serious. Martin is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's Game 5.

Derrick Rose
  • Thu, May 16
    • Coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose (knee) will "be ready to go next year," the Chicago Tribune reports.
      Recommendation: Despite the ongoing speculation of his status throughout the year, Rose ended up sitting out all of the 2012-13 season, as he ultimately lacked full confidence in his surgically repaired left knee. A full offseason and slate of preseason games should help Rose regain his mojo for next season.

Tim Duncan
  • Thu, May 16
    • Duncan scored 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-5 FT) and added six rebounds, two assists, and three blocks en route to Thursday's Game 6 closeout victory against the Warriors.
      Recommendation: Duncan has displayed his dominance all throughout his career, and this year is no exception. While the Spurs' window is possibly closing sooner rather than later, Duncan appears to be giving his all for perhaps one last chance to add to his championship total.

Stephen Curry
  • Thu, May 16
    • Curry (ankle) was able to log 42 minutes but was eliminated in Thursday's Game 6 loss to the Spurs. He contributed 22 points (10-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block.
      Recommendation: Curry has had a remarkable season coming back from his major ankle injury last year. Despite a rather early exit in the postseason, the young guard has surprised many. His best days are ahead of him, and this postseason experience can only help him mature to become a better player.

David Lee
  • Wed, May 15
    • Lee (hip) increased his on-court time to 12 minutes Tuesday night in Golden State's loss to San Antonio in Game 5 of their playoff series.
      Recommendation: Lee finished with six points, one rebound, one steal and one assist in the loss. With the Warriors facing elimination Thursday night, we suspect Lee will give what he can to stay alive.

Luol Deng
  • Wed, May 15
    • Deng (illness) did not travel with the Bulls and will miss Wednesday's Game 5 at Miami, the Chicago Tribune reports.
      Recommendation: The absence marks Deng's seventh consecutive in what will likely be the Bulls' final contest of the season. It's unfortunate that a random illness derailed his postseason as well as Chicago's attempts to pull a massive upset over Miami, but he'll look to regain strength as the offseason progresses.

Nate Robinson
  • Wed, May 15
    • Robinson, who injured his left shoulder in the Bulls' previous game, played 47 minutes Wednesday night in Chicago's loss to Miami in Game 5 of their playoff series.
      Recommendation: The loss eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs, ending what has been a pretty successful season for Robinson, who averaged 13.1 points per game. When Kirk Hinrich hurt his calf in the playoffs, Robinson filled in and averaged just under 40 minutes per game in eight playoff starts.

Iman Shumpert
  • Wed, May 15
    • Shumpert (knee) said he feels "fine" and he didn't feel any pain in Game 4, ESPN New York reports.
      Recommendation: The Knicks are facing elimination in Game 5, so look for Shumpert to play without restrictions as the Knicks struggle to stay alive in the series.
