"Of course, in the previous life Thunderclap's No. 2 position could only defend and not attack on its own. With both minors, it could secure the Western Conference Finals. Now No. 2 position is not only strong in defense, but also has a good ability to attack autonomously. The improvement must be huge," Presti thought silently.
