We're about 20% of the way through the season now with most teams having played ~16 games. Do you have any hot takes so far on the season?

Derrick White is and will continue to be a more valuable player than Jrue Holiday. Jrue is great but inefficient and DWhite is comparable defensively for the most part. J think the entire offense will be better when JT initiates more and everyone sort of settles in with actual sets and movement for lobs, cuts, etc. but I don’t know that Jrue will be as valuable because of his inability to be a catch and shoot threat. His ability to initiate off the dribble is good but the ball needs to be in Tatum’s hands more for those anyways because Jrue doesn’t really break down a defense w dribble penetration.
