Player Notes

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.

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.

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.

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.

Prigioni may return to the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 5 against Indiana, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Recommendation: Prigioni was held to the bench Tuesday, earning just three minutes on the court. However, if he does start Thursday, he should post something similar to his output from the first three games of the series - 3.3 points (on 50 percent shooting), 4.7 assists, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 three-pointers, and 0.7 steals in 22.3 minutes.

Wade (knee) scored 18 points in 37 minutes Wednesday night in Miami's series-clinching victory over Chicago in Game 5.
Recommendation: Wade's been dealing with a knee injury throughout the series and was a game-time decision for Wednesday's game.

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.

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.

Parker finished with 25 points (9-16 FG, 7-10 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds, a steal, and just two turnovers in Tuesday's Game 5 win over the Warriors.
Recommendation: Parker compiled double-digit assists for the first time in this year's playoffs, which is no surprise given that most of his focus has been on scoring. He found a perfect balance Tuesday night, leading the Spurs in points, assists, field goal attempts, and free throws. San Antonio can advance to the Western Conference Finals with a win in Thursday's Game 6.

Crawford was able to turn his season around after joining the Celtics, but he struggled mightily during the playoffs, averaging just 4.5 points per game on 30 percent shooting from the field.
Recommendation: Crawford wasn't exactly a difference-maker, but he provided the Celtics with some occasionally valuable scoring off the bench (9.1 PPG), and eventually surpassed Courtney Lee as the team's No. 4 guard. He is under contract for next season, though that hardly assures him of a spot on a Boston roster that may or may not be subject to significant turnover during the offseason.

Fisher scored three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) in a Game 4 loss to the Grizzlies. He committed a costly turnover late in overtime that could have been the difference in the game.
Recommendation: As a late addition to the roster, Fisher has done a solid job of holding the fort at the backup point guard spot with Russell Westbrook (knee) out. He has not been spectacularly efficient, but stretches the floor for the Thunder offensively. The veteran shouldn't let his costly turnover affect him, as Fisher is known to handle pressure fairly well.

Bradley finished with 6.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks in six playoff games.
Recommendation: Bradley averaged 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.4 blocks in the regular season, so his playoff performance was a bit disappointing. That being said, he makes his living by playing tight perimeter defense, and in that regard Bradley was up to the task for most of the season. Despite all the uncertainty in Boston, it would be a surprise if he isn't back next year. The Celtics likely view Bradley and Rajon Rondo as the starting backcourt of the future.

Conley scored 23 points, including four three-pointers in a Game 4 victory against the Thunder. He added three rebounds, five assists, and four steals in 49 minutes of action.
Recommendation: Conley is averaging 19.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.3 steals in the series against the Thunder. He has been consistently playing effectively on both ends of the court, despite shooting just 39 percent from the field. Continue to expect Conley at the helm of the Grizzlies offense moving forward.
