This is a bit different, a bit more personal. Lets bring our own pre season ''Hot takes'' that ended up looking pretty dumb. I steal this idea straight from Zach Lowe, who just had a podcast on this very topic.
I bet I had many terrible Hot takes, and all of those had bad grammar, I know... Can't remember of very terrible ones, tho I sure you could find it. But few that comes to mind for sure, are :
1. Sasha Vezenkov will be better than Trey Lyles right away, straight up....
2. Wembanyama will take a long time to actually be good offensive player, mostly on scoring front.
3. Magic is awful team.
Sasha had his injuries, his rookie season has been very disappointing, I assume he is now out for the season, doing Euroleague fantasy pods, it is easy to forget he is actually in the NBA.
With Wemby, I had no doubt he would score points, but I was certain his efficiency will be terrible, and I dredded the hyped up fans who will end up being disappointed. And Wemby is not the most efficient guy, but I think his rookie season actually, amazingly exceeded expectations. He is shooting better, he scores all the time, and his passing is great.
The very first post in DPOY thread, is me shouting Jonathan Isaak, saying how good he is. And it is true to this day, but in that comment, I did call Magic an awful team, and Isaak being just one of few positives that team had. From time to time, though out the whole season, someone +1 that comment, and I get reminded that I did say Magic are awful. I was a dumb-as
Do YOU have pre season, early season Hot takes that you wish you had the chance to take back?
