Yeh, Randle looked the best of the lot to me, just a total beast. although Parker was great as well, Both seem a lot more polished than Wiggins, but obviously the upside with him is easy to see. #1 pick in the draft is very much wide open I think. Good to see the Lakers win, couldn't stand it if they ended up with one of these studs!!

Don't forget Exum! Although I doubt he'll go #1.

The Pistons are lol bad (stupid).

And Gordon/Holiday really need to learn to pass the ball to Davis. It's criminal they're taking more shots than him.

Andre Drummond is a beast. The Pistons really need to trade Monroe though and let Drummond have the paint

:D

Would've loved to see Exum at College for this season, but obviously impossible since he's still in high school over here. Hope his stock keeps up regardless. Can't see it falling outside top 10.

Got to go see Anthony Davis for my b-day in person. I was hoping he would go off again but negative. Same for Jrue...

If Nash plays 4 or more games this season I will be somewhat surprised. There is incentive under the CBA and medical retirement for him to stay under 10 games played this season is what I've heard now (Larry Coon). It would be a win-win for both of them (if you don't count Nash having to retire due to injury a loss obv).

And out of all times, Antoni chooses now to plug in Jordan Hill and actually make defense somewhat of a focus? We are trying to stay below 10th here! What happened to sitting guys down because they were trying on D more than he allowed? Only joking, Hill hustles the most out of everyone on the team (minus Blake maybe).

Julius Randle doesn't look very athletic but he seems like a Z-Bo physical grinder type. Wiggins looks like another Ben Mclemore. I think I still like Marcus Smart the most but he's not a freshman I guess.

Is it just me or is there a unusual amount of really bad teams this year?

Watching that reminds me of Shaq. People always lauded his physicality but Shaq had some of the best footwork of any big to play the game.

Shaq's foot works looked so good because he had size to back it up. Not to say he didn't have good footwork, but his ability the threaten the backup with each step just made it exceptionally strong combo.

Doesn't feel like it to me. Outside of Indiana, the rest of the Eastern Conference is only separated by 2.5 games. Even the West has a huge logjam at the middle. It's too early in the season still, but I think we're going to end up with a lot of mediocre teams this year.

The story of the season so far is how many times some supposedly tanking teams have already beaten supposedly contending teams.

Yea some teams supposedly tanking are doing well (6ers, Phoenix), other good teams are starting relatively slow (bulls, heat, bkn), as the season goes on and rotations, schemes, etc are figured out and rust wears off it'll start looking a lot better.
