The Most Confusing Teams in the NBA!

LoweDefensively, Kessler is just on another level from Nurkic at this stage. Obviously, he has an offensive rebounder. His hands, his feel, all that is like totally different level. The threes, we'll see. I'll believe it when I see it. And then they got this offer from the Lakers and they decided this is too good to pass up.

LoweWe will voluntarily take a step back this year to take a bigger step forward at some point, because if they had Kessler and they sprinkled in enough of Kogi or whatever on the wing to give them a stable wing defender, like that's a roadmap to an okay defense. And I think offensively, this team could be very, very powerful with the young guards, assuming, you know, Peterson is kind of eased in and not overburdened.

LoweAnd he's looked great in the preseason too. You know, I'm with you in general, though. Like they were in a couple of my picks are clustered in this spot.

LoweThey were my number one pick in the if some incumbent team from the West top six just inexplicably falls out of the top six. Yeah, who would replace them? And you get into like the Portland, Phoenix, Utah.

LoweAre you optimistic about Dallas or Memphis or whatever kind of morass of teams? And Utah was my if I had to pick one of those teams, I just kind of like the upside of this team. I think Will Hardy is a really great offensive coach who's going to have, like, you give him these bigs who can shoot, who can come off pin downs, who can do stuff off the dribble, who can play a little bit like guards, not pass

Lowelike guards, but play like guards. I just think he's going to figure out ways to have this team score at a pretty high level. So I guess the confusion, what is the source of confusion? Like, are we underestimating them? Is there a doubt? Is there like a more severe downside here than you and

MahoneyI are maybe envisioning? I think I'm just, I'm seeing, well, I think there's both.
