Nice idea Matt! @GarnettFan4Life
Atlanta Hawks - Trae Young and Tyler Dorsey with the big upside and expectations. Watching Vinsanity rust on the bench of a 25 win team!
Boston Celtics - Hayward / Tatum, interesting to see how they co-exist. Not enough basketballs to go around esp. with Kyrie out there too!
Brooklyn Nets - Good ol' Adelaide boy Mitch Creek in the unlikely event he makes it. Otherwise my man Spence DInwiddie! Treveon Graham as a dark horse to really emerge from the shadows. Can the Manimal maintain the rage in Brooklyn?
Charlotte Hornets - Tony Parker in a non-Spurs uniform playing backup minutes. WTH?!
Chicago Bulls - Make or break year for Denzel Valentine. Lavine highlight reels. Antonio Blakeney is the definition of instant offense, probably enjoy him tearing up the G-League instead though!
Cleveland Cavaliers - Cedi Osman to have a breakout season. Watching Kevin Love cry as he realises he's on Minnesota v2.0!
Dallas Mavericks - Seeing if Ryan Broekhoff can make any sort of impact - unlikely! Seeing if Dirk can still run and if Doncic is the next "great white hope".
Denver Nuggets - Isaiah Thomas, one guy I'd pay money to watch. Can my man Will Barton play the 3? Will Porter Jr ever actually play? Like Beasley, Juan on Juan but buried too deep on the bench. Hoping Monte Morris gets a chance to play some minutes...
Detroit Pistons - Um, Kennard?
Golden State Warriors - Quinn Cook working his way further into the rotation and Boogie Cousins reacting to the spotlight of being deep in the playoff picture and the #4? option on offense....
Houston Rockets - Will Carmelo finally bury his ego for the good of the team? Does he actually make the Rockets better?! Zhou Qi was once touted as a lottery pick and his shot blocking as a stretch 5 is intriguing, he'll spend time in the G-League though until he doesn't resemble Shawn Bradley in stature and can guard bigs 1 on 1.
Indiana Pacers - Tyreke Evans - can he replicate his form last year with the Grizz and help the Pacers become a CInderella playoff team?
LA Clippers - Teodosic making completing some whacky assists, insane court vision and basketball IQ. Pat Beverely is just flat out hustle and grind which I can appreciate and there's always Boban, he doesn't even have to do anything and he's still an entertaining cult hero!
LA Lakers - Paul George? Whoops, my bad... Kawhi? Whoops, too early... Jimmy Butler? Errr, still too early... This crowd is an absolute circus. Beasley, Rondo, McGee, the Lebron whisperer..... Not sure how even the King keeps this crowd under control. Will Lebron play at the 4 all season? Who's going to get the minutes at centre? McGee? Zubac has plenty of promise and Wagner showed some decent ability to switch off on smaller guys defensively but they're definitely a bit thin and short upfront.
Memphis Grizzlies - Watching Chandler Parsons slowly embrace the fact that he'll be receiving more boos from the home crowd than when he's away on road trips! Jaren Jackson Jr, how he co-exists with M Gasol. Seeing if Marshon Brooks can still light it up and if Wayne Selden ever actually converts some of that promise and summer league form into the regular season.
Miami Heat - Real sleeper of a rookie prospect, but Malik Newman is my guy! Buckets! Buckets! ...and then even more buckets! Most likely G-League but I likes his game a lot!
Milwaukee Bucks - The Fly Kicking Maker and Dirty Delly! hah hah, always good to follow the Aussies in action. Brandon McCoy is a real throwback traditional centre but still an outside shot to make it - the exact opposite of B Lo. Seeing if DiVencenzo can make soem highlight reels with that ridiculous vertical!
Minnesota Timberwolves - Jimmy Butler's frustrations with the post millenial stars! If they get the best out of second rounder Keita Bates-Diop he's capable of cracking the rotation, if Thibs actually decided to play rookies...
New Orleans Pelicans - I don;t even understand how this team begins to function or sort out its rotations... Okafor (the younger one) and Randle operate out of the low post and Mirotic has range and AD obviously runs the show. Payton and Holiday for an intriguing backcourt pairing, switch city! They finally added some range and scoring punch on the wings in Troy Williams and Trevon Blueitt. Not top tier guys, but Williams is a point per minute type of guy and Blueitt is a known shooter who tore it up in summer league.
New York Knicks - Mitchell Robinson looked like an absolute beast in summer league! Who emerges in the 3 way former lottery pick PG battle of Burke, Mudiay and Ntilikina. A make or break year for Super Mario Hezonja, last role of the dice for him!
