There is 3 and 1/2 months left. Nothing is a lock. Anything can happen.

Especially since Mathurin is sliding at a fast pace, he can't make shots since late November with the occasional okay game.

I know im going out on a limb but Paolo is a lock..
Im very interested to see how Walker and Durens next 3 months go, I think if both near on avg double doubles they could climb into the top 3/4. Would love either for this Magic team

If Haliburton is out for Pacers for any length of time and Ben get the call to the starting lineup, it’s going to get very interesting.

I think Kessler is getting pretty close to being a lock. Insane defensive impact as a rookie.

I see Kessler is still at 19 MPG so I was curious if any rookies made the first time with minutes like that. I know his minutes will go up as the season progresses, I was just curious.
From a quick spot check, looks like Willy Hernangomez had 18.4 minutes back in 16-17. So that shouldn’t be a problem.

Let’s call it 6 blocks. He’s fantastic though! The Magic could use a player just like him.

Jalen Williams has pretty much played 30mpg since the start of December, and I don't think that's going to be reduced any time soon given his production and efficiency. I'd be shocked if he's not first team rookie come the end of the season.

he played great but should be 5 blocks ..clear goaltend and foul on 2 called blocks no ball at all just elbow on franz..plus got away with many other no call fouls like wcj dunk on him...refs were really one sided .16 ft to 40 ..from start of game calls seemed to all go utah way ..so many no calls on one end ..but he did steal that rb at end for the win and make ft and looks great and really none of that is on him ...its on refs

I went back and checked. I don't think they gave him a block on the goaltend on the continuation. It was just a missed call by the refs. They should've counted the basket on the foul.
The rake across the arm was also close enough to his hand that I'm trying to calm down a bit about it. Maybe his fingertips just touched his hand.

No offense to Jazz fans for nitpicking this. He's an awesome player. Every month or two I just get super salty about a bad call and then I have to talk myself off the ledge.

Just wanted to chime in after last night's game. Walker Kessler... good lord. I don't watch a lot of Blazer games. I'd seen clips and read about him. I'm tracking he's probably not THAT good all the time but just the ability to do that at all as a rookie is nuts. He was just a complete game wrecker against us. Y'all got a good one, Portland. There's gonna be more than a few teams that wish they'd pulled the trigger on him before pick 22.

I think Kessler is better than Ivey, Mathurin and Banchero but we are not ready to have that conversation
East #1 Draft Picks: Fultz, Banchero, Wiggins, Cuninigham
West #1 Draft Picks: Edwards, WIlliamson, Ayton, Towns

Are you feeling all right, man? I've noticed your posts seem kind of detached.
If you have a take that you're fired up about, then let it out! Let's talk about professional basketball!
