Does the NBA preseason give a good enough blueprint as to how one NBA team would perform in the regular season? (alien.top)

U see a lot of young guys scoring 20 points a game.But does this translate into the regular season.Some teams appear great on paper and in preseason but can it be that they fail to perform upto the expectations in the regular season?Does removing the pressure of winning or losing in the preseason game coz it doesn't count towards your standings help players to perform better?

Teams are trying new schemes and lineups.

Stars don't play or go at half speed.

Most players don't play with full defensive effort.

Veterans are just trying not to get injured.

This is why young guys that are actually trying hard perform really well in preseason.
