Dude scored 55 points in 3 quarters in just his 7th NBA game. It's ok to admit we were all a bit enamored with him at the time.
Reminds me of when T Buckley took his first or second punt return ever for a TD. Blew up expectations and created a lot of hype and excitement. Then he never did it again, EVER, for any team. Worse of course was getting eaten alive by tall WRs. He had a very productive career as a nickle back, but not as the 5th overall pick.
Jennings did the same thing to me with that 55pt game.

That's kinda cool, it's a bit far, but I'd go for a weekend to Shangdon with my Bucks gear and cheer on Supercool!
Well, I'd think about it until I realize I don't like him enough to take a 3hr flight...

Shangdon is an anagram for gonads ha!

Milwaukee has the youngest rotation of any projected playoff team; the Lakers and Suns are the teams with a lower average age weighted by projected minutes.

Kevin Pelton projecting the NBA Standings based on RPM. He has the Bucks as the 4 seed in the East with 47 wins.
Some other notable ones IMO:
Wolves as 4 seed in the West with 50 wins
Clippers as 6 seed with 49 wins
Jazz as 8 seed with 45 wins
Lakers 13th in West with 33 wins
Cavs as 2 seed with 49 wins
Raptors as 6 seed with 43 wins
76ers 9th in East with 33 wins

I think those are fairly accurate. My major gripe is Philly (33 wins) is projected way too low. I think they'll be over .500 and an easy playoff team.

Ehhh... 50 wins is too high...but the year to bet against the Wolves was last year, line being at 41 wins was free money.

I think ten teams have a legit shot at the playoffs out west this year. It's far stronger then it has been. I'm not convinced KAT and Wiggins are going to contribute to a winning team.

Their defense isn't ideal, and Wiggins is another story, but you're not convinced that a 25/12/3 guy on 62% TS is "contributing to winning team"? Huh?
Also, 10 teams having a shot at the playoffs is more a sign of mediocrity across the board. The Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, and maybe the Thunder are really the only teams that are contender level quality. Those bottom-4 playoff spots are all up for grabs.
