Yeah I know, it's super early, super small sample size, but I should be working so this is my distraction.
Here are some players who have surprised me so far:
Terrence Ross
Not what you'd call a well-rounded player, but part of a very balanced Orlando team, and probably the fourth guy you'd guess to be leading them in scoring.
Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson
Don't look now, but the Suns have carried over their play from the Bubble, but surprisingly, their second and third highest scorers are their young forwards. One of them was discarded by Philly, and the other, the Suns got widely ridiculed for drafting. Who's laughing now?
Trae Young
Looking like a superstar, and now for a winning team. Shame that part of his leap seems to involve him drawing very dubious fouls to get a ridiculous ton of FTs. We don't need another Harden.
Domantas Sabonis
Various people on this board have been advocating pursuing Sabonis and I always was against it because I didn't think he'd work well with Nurkic. Well, too bad for Nurkic - I'd do it NOW, but of course it's too late. It's the assists that are really impressive. No, actually, it's the everything. A credit to the mighty name!
Collin Sexton and Darius Garland
I would've bet good money that this backcourt was a disaster waiting to happen. Well, it still well might happen, but it's nice to see glimmers of hope for sucky Cleveland.
Plenty more, but I really have to work. Yours?
