Sharife is going to keep Lou and Wright sweating for that backup guard spot. Talent is undeniable.

This Banton guy on the Raptors has really impressed me. Don't know anything about him other than it looks like he is out of Nebraska. He is one of those guys that seems like he can legitimately play every position 1-5.

if raptors development program works and he develops a reliable jumper, he could become a dominating player on both ends. right now he's a bit careless passing and doens't have a shot. but he's long, plays defense and really pushes the pace. high motor guy.

Jalen Suggs not blowing by anyone and that is a problem for a lead NBA guard - franchise point guards have that first step at the very least. also no shot. maybe he will have a bad rookie season but its all preseason and he can definitely improve over the course of the season.

For "NBA ready" and "franchise guy" Suggs has looked the worst of the top 6 imo.

Thunder went from KD, Westbrook, Harden making the NBA finals to a full on scrubfest in 10 years.

Gonna be upset if anyone in the Bucks main rotation plays another minute in the preseason. I get doing it for the fans in the preseason home opener, but come on. Get them out of the game.

Thunder should definitely have the worst record this year
