With NBA training camps arriving, Ric Bucher and Brendan Haywood debate the league’s best—and what could change the hierarchy this season.
Brendan explains why today’s lighter training camps may actually contribute to injuries before he and Ric pick the NBA’s best backcourt, frontcourt, coach, offensive and defensive players, and organization. They debate SGA vs. Jokic and Luka, what separates stars from superstars, and whether Steph Curry should ever consider leaving Golden State.
Plus, Brendan identifies the one move Victor Wembanyama needs to become nearly impossible to stop—and why adding it could mean “it’s over for the league.”
