This is gonna be a fun season to watch the rookies battle it out. ROY is WIDE open because Sarr and Risacher are nothing special. And actually the top 10 players aren't locks for it IMO.

Who do you guys got for ROY?

I'm high on Knecht's potential and I think he has a real good shot. Looks like JJ's gonna keep him in the rotation.

It's gone to a top 10 draft pick 47 years out of the last 50. Brogdon was the highest pick in the last 50 years at 36, Mark Jackson was picked at 18 and MCW was the 11th pick.

I can't believe the Lakers are championship contenders again already.

Obviously playing time is the biggest supporter of any chance for ROTY. I remember the NBA GMs voted Reed Shepard their favorite. Just don't see him starting this year. Knecht has quality written all over him, but no way he starts Unless Lebron slides over and LAL plays with 3 guard/wing types in Russell, Reeves and then Knecht. Sarr will get Huge minutes. Any other rookie besides Zach Eddy even starting yet??

Bruh the Nuggets look like crap. Best passing center in the league and absolutely no one around him who can make a shot.

Edit: they hit three 3's immediately upon me posting this comment.

That doesn't even show how teams are way off of him and clogging up everyone else's space.

Losing all of their depth hurts, but yeah they look like they've given up a bit after that G7 melt down.

Can't believe the Nuggets are 0-2.

Jokic is the only player I think that can beat the Cs in a 7-game series.

Bad decision by the Nuggets front office by letting their key role players leave in FA.

Sure, but I don't think Toppin can jump AS LOW as me.


QB is a big OB fan. He makes Pacer broadcasts tough to listen to imo, but he’s also probably the closest thing to Tommy out there. Being a former Celtic and doesn’t hate on us like other commentators do I’ll give him a pass.

I'm really hoping that the Lakers are not a fluke this season.

I still want that Lakers vs. Celtics finals.

It's like hitting 2 birds with one stone.

1. Revenge for the Celtics losing in 2010.

2. Celtics beating Lebron in the finals.

Lakers 3-0? I don’t think they’re legit though.
