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

So far, the biggest "surprise" for me has the opening records for the top seeds. We'll see how it all shakes out, but I wasn't sure any team would be much over .600 / 50-ish wins, after last season.

At this point, .600 / 50-ish wins is projecting out to be what it will take to get a top 6 seed in either conference. Which, could drop the play-in teams down to the .400-ish range. Maybe even drop the non-playoff teams into that .300 or less range.

I thought the parity would come more at the top first, but it might pan out to be the exact opposite. :)
