Naz Reid is the first NBA player in history

In the West, OKC feels inevitable to me. Maybe not this season, but soon. I think JDub’s ceiling is nearly as high as SGA’s, Chet is on his way to being one of the best two-way centers in basketball, and the supporting cast of Caruso/Hartenstein/Dort/Wallace/Joe/Wiggins is gonna be extremely formidable.

I think the Wolves are gonna be right there again. Ant’s time is coming.

Don’t wanna count out either the Nuggets or Mavs, but I don’t think the Nuggets have the pieces around Jokic/Murray/AG to make a championship run right now, and I’m not sold on the sustainability of the Mav’s run last year. I just don’t think their supporting cast outside of Lively and Gafford is good.

Celtics feel like a lock coming out of the East again, but I could see the Sixers and Bucks both looking like serious championship contenders if they stay healthy.

SG is a position that relies on supreme athleticism, all those guys you listed are either top 1 percentile explosive athletes and/or are some of the most agile players in basketball. They just don’t need to be positionally huge guys. Players like Kyrie or Ant are gonna leverage their athleticism and ball handling skills to get to their spots regardless of how big their defenders area
