A couple weeks into the season, what are your biggest surprises, both good and bad? Could an individual, a team, or anything else. I’ll give mine.
Worst surprises: Bucks’ defense, Suns’ health, Kings’ cold shooting, Jordan Poole
Best surprises: Aaron Nesmith, Cade Cunningham, Atlanta Hawks, rookies like Sasser, Strather, and Hawkins
The worst surprise is how many people are buying less than 10 game sample sizes from teams or players as established trends now, eg. “this team is good/bad”, “this player has taken a leap/dropped off”, based on 8-9 games.
Give things 25-30 games to properly shake out at least.
