Nope and I barely watched any of the Wizards last season either.

Only time I really watch pre-season is if my teams rebuilding and I want to see the young players tested out. So with the Nuggets and Bucks I haven’t bothered.
Probably would be smart for fantasy but I stay away from rookies usually anyway.
I'd say the Bucks are in a mini rebuild because of losing Dame, Brook, and Khris.
They’ve don’t really have the draft picks for it to be a rebuild. It’s more of a last gasp at a remote chance at a title with Giannis, especially after the stretch and waive.
I think the only players left from their championship roster are Giannis, Bobby, and Thanasis, so in my head it's been a 5 year long soft rebuild.
But yeah, this is where Giannis has to pull some Cavs LeBron heroics and drag the team into the playoffs. They should at least be better than the injured Celtics and Pacers, just not in the mix with Knicks/Cavs/Magic.
I DVR the games and I am watching one as background noise just to get familiar with new players and get a preview of the second unit rotation.
So far, I have watched the Celtics first game. My take is that half the players are good enough to be 3rd string players and the other half not so much. It is too bad that when I look at the depth chart, some of these players will be asked to start.
