We see after every season how people turn on players in the recent years after giving them so much praise and how they uplift one player after one season

Keegan Murray, given his age I don't think there will be much growth. Also Cade, feel like a vast majority still say he'll have the best career of his class but he hasn't measured up to them yet and injuries do make it a bit muddled but he hasn't really produced what's expected of him

Evan Mobley has a chance to be exposed for not having much scoring capability at all. Need to see a step forward offensively.

LeBron is way too high on everyone’s list.

I get it, LeBron queens will always downvote, but he is done.

Unfortunately I don’t think Lauri Markkenan will be able to repeat his insane scoring season again and will be back to “Pretty good starter” level

I think if Embiid doesn't make the conference finals, he loses a ton of credibility. Fair or not.

Jordan Poole for both

Austin reached from high to low And Greyson Allen from low to high

Jordan Poole: He's still going to be inefficient, and even more so now because he doesn't have Klay and Steph opening up space for him.

Kyrie Irving: I don't like Kyrie, his bullshit is seriously old. However, he's still one of the best scorers on the planet, and I think he realizes he needs to put together a reasonable season because people are so done with him. That said, at some point he's going to want a few weeks off during the season.. shit. I'm talking myself out of this.

Yup the kyrie disrespect (of him as a player) is getting ridiculous, dude is a top 5 guard, and I think once luka and him figure it out they will be tough to beat. Mavs making the playoffs calling it now.

Lots of Dubs fans were ready to disown Draymond. In truth, still are, but we are waiting to see how this season shakes out. Most Dubs fans are scared as shit going into this season imo.

High on now/turned lower on later: Paolo Banchero.

Low on now/turned higher on later: Tyler Herro.

I’m ready to support Ben Simmons again

Im thinkin jabari smith has a Chris Bosh style season

[–] dassiebzehntekomma@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Davion Mitchell is a beast that could take a path comparable to Jalen Brunson.

I hope i'm wrong but i think Banchero is not good.

I think T Hali is just a borderline all-star and don't see him getting a lot better.

Think A Edwards is going to become a star (like a lot of others think).

[–] SarcasticlySpeaking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Grayson Allen and Grayson Allen.

[–] Delusional_Donut@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I’m going to be real here and it might hurt me, but Jayson Tatum.

When on beat he’s an elite player, but he’s STILL spotty especially when he’s needed most. I think for him to be recognized as a genuine MVP candidate he needs to be consistent, even if that means stepping back his usage. He’s got more tools to play around this year and I think if he doesn’t improve because of it that people may start to doubt his ability to be the guy.

Now I don’t know if that will get me flamed but the court of public opinion shall decide.

Under radar, but I think if Cam reddish can’t put together at least a mediocre season, he will lose a lot of hopefuls. Especially since he around Bron and the lakers.

[–] sunsballfan2386@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

SGA has the hype, Pool is gonna splash this year

[–] SaltyForeskin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People who are high on Poole will find out how empty his calories are and turn on him so fast.

[–] fireflies246@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luka if the Mavs dont make a serious run
